Did Miley Cyrus snub Lady Gaga during the 2026 Grammys? Fans are attempting to set the record straight. Gaga, 39, was awarded Best Pop Vocal Album for her 2025 LP, Mayhem, on Sunday, February 1, at the Grammys, which was hosted at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. While the singer received a standing ovation from the crowd, eagle-eyed fans noticed that Cyrus, who was nominated alongside Gaga, stayed seated - and didn't even clap. One X user asked for "answers" when seeing Cyrus "not standing" for Gaga's win and "giving stank face." When Teyana Taylor and Nikki Glaser announced Gaga as the winner on Sunday, Cyrus stayed in her seat next to fiancé Maxx Morando. Gaga, meanwhile, ran to the stage (and nearly tripped on her way up). She was joined on stage by producers Andrew Watt and Cirkut (real name Henry Walter).

"I respect everybody in this room so much." Cyrus was seen clapping after Gaga finished her speech on Sunday. Some social media users were quick to speculate that Cyrus' apparent issue wasn't with Gaga but rather because of her rumored feud with producer Watt. "They said it wasn't pointed at Gaga but that Andrew producer guy," one X user wrote, referring to fan theories. Another social media user claimed it was "NOT about Gaga" at all. Us Weekly has reached out to Cyrus' rep for comment.

Despite not clapping for Gaga initially, Cyrus did applaud her fellow artist after her speech. Fans have taken to social media and defended Cyrus for her actions, with many speculating the rumored drama is because of Watt. Who Is Andrew Watt? Watt, whose real name is Andrew Wotman, is a music producer and singer who has quite the résumé. Watt has teamed up with several giants in the music industry, including Justin Bieber, Elton John, Post Malone, the late Ozzy Osbourne and, of course, both Gaga and Cyrus. Watt was recognized at the 2026 Grammys because of his collaboration with Gaga on her Mayhem album. He took home the Best Dance Pop Recording award on Sunday for Gaga's "Abracadabra."

While it's unclear what went down between them, fans have speculated that the two had a falling out of some sort. "Miley shading Andrew Watt not Gaga I'm actually obsessed by it," one X user declared. Another claimed, "Miley was never going to stand up when Watt was on the stage, it had nothing to do with Gaga. Please learn your history before speaking on her." When Cyrus and Watt worked together, he gushed over her work ethic during an interview with Entertainment Weekly. "She's another artist who, without a doubt, always knows what she wants to do," he said in 2020. "You're on Miley's ride when you're there. And she connects to her lyrics so hard." Cyrus has yet to publicly address a possible feud with Watt.
