The nominations for the 2026 Primetime Emmy Awards have been announced, and they feature a notable presence of major pop stars, reflecting the growing overlap between the music and television industries. Bad Bunny, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter and Raphael Saadiq all secured nods across various categories, with televised concert and event specials proving especially prominent.

Bad Bunny's Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show led the way with nine nominations, the most ever for a halftime show, though he is personally credited only in the Outstanding Variety Special (Live) category as a producer. Taylor Swift's concert film The Eras Tour: The Final Show received five nominations, with Swift herself eligible only for Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded). Lady Gaga was nominated for co-writing "The Dead Dance" from Netflix's Wednesday, while Sabrina Carpenter earned a nod for Disney's Muppet Show reboot. Among series, The Pitt led all dramas with 25 nominations and Hacks set a comedy record with 24. The ceremony airs on Monday 14 September on NBC and Peacock.
