Tyler, the Creator Ignites Grammys Stage with Explosive 'Chromakopia' Performance
Tyler, the Creator delivered a visually stunning and high-energy performance at the Grammys, showcasing hits from his album Chromakopia. He is also nominated for six awards, including Album of the Year.
Tyler, the Creator brought his signature flair to the Grammys stage with a dynamic performance of tracks from his acclaimed album, Chromakopia.
The rapper emerged in a striking shamrock green suit, directly inspired by the Chromakopia aesthetic, launching into energetic renditions of “Thought I Was Dead” and “Like Him.” While Lola Young features on "Like Him", she was not present for the performance. The entire performance was a carefully constructed narrative, unfolding through various scenes.
The performance included a memorable skit at a gas station owned by Regina King. A quick costume change saw Tyler, the Creator re-emerge in a firefighter outfit, closing out the theatrical set with the infectious “Sugar on My Tongue” from his 2025 album, Don’t Tap the Glass.

At the 2026 Grammys, Tyler, the Creator is nominated for six awards, including Album of the Year and Best Rap Album for Chromakopia. The album also earned him a nomination for Best Album Cover. He is also in contention for Best Rap Performance for “Darling, I” and Best Rap Song for “Sticky,” and Best Alternative Music Album for Don’t Tap the Glass.

2025 was a monumental year for Tyler, the Creator. He surprise-released Don’t Tap the Glass following the success of Chromakopia, embarked on a sold-out world tour, returned to Lollapalooza, hosted Camp Flog Gnaw, and debuted in Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme, alongside Timothée Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow.
