A prompter fail, a legendary mix-up, and nonstop reactions. Cher’s Grammys moment instantly took over social media.

Cher read out the Record of the Year winner as 'Luther Vandross,' before correcting herself and naming Kendrick Lamar and SZA's song 'Luther' as the winner

"What I want to tell you," Cher said, "never give up on your dream, no matter what happens. Live it, be it, and if it's not happening now, it will happen soon"

The music icon had an immediately legendary introduction for Kendrick Lamar's Record of the Year victory.

Nobody was more surprised by the record of the year winner at the 2026 Grammys than Cher, who presented the award with some fumbling.

"We share the frequency of the song," the Grammy winner said Cher's unforgettable reveal during Sunday's ceremony.

What better artist to celebrate Cher’s achievement in Auto-Tune and long black hair than Charli xcx? “Believe” is often credited as being the first hit song to use the software as a deliberate vocal effect in 1998, and that stylistic choice’s impact has continued to reverberate. Long story short: Cher is brat.

Tonight, the musical legend made a surprise appearance at the 2026 Grammys to accept her Lifetime Achievement Award. And she did so in a black-lace, see-through gown. The naked dress featured a layer of leather strands arranged in a deconstructed manner, and the musical legend wore it with a cropped black leather jacket and some glossy boots.

The confusing moment during the Record of the Year presentation led Grammys host Trevor Noah to quip, "I love live television."

Singing icon Cher is facing mounting fears her legendary career may be kaput, RadarOnline. com can reveal, after a disastrous stint on Saturday Night Live triggered renewed buzz that her voice is frazzled and she can no longer sing live.
