Tate McRae Makes Grammys Debut in Custom Balenciaga as First-Time Nominee

Her nod for Best Dance Pop Recording for the F1 track "Just Keep Watching" capped a steady rise she learned about from a congratulatory text from her mother.

Overview

  • The singer arrived for her first Grammys shortly before the show, wearing a black strapless Balenciaga gown with a dramatic train.
  • Designed by Pierpaolo Piccioli, the look included an underskirt of long, spiky black petals drawn from his spring 2026 debut collection for the house.
  • She finished the ensemble with leather opera gloves plus a diamond necklace and matching earrings.
  • Styling was led by sisters Chloe and Chenelle Delgadillo, with Christian Louboutin slingbacks and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry completing the details.
  • McRae’s nomination recognizes the F1 film track "Just Keep Watching" and follows years of releases, Recording Academy programming appearances, and a 2023 snub that left her ineligible for Best New Artist.
