Cher walks off stage before presenting award at Grammys
Cher tried to walk off stage and struggled to read out a winner’s name in a hilarious series of gaffes at the 2026 Grammy Awards, The Sun reported.
The 79-year-old legendary entertainer brought the ceremony to a chaotic end as she accepted the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
Cher had everyone out of the seats when she took to the stage looking gorgeous in a shredded leather gown and a leather jacket.
She gave a short speech about her decades-long career, explaining that after rocketing to fame as a teen she had no clue she would one day struggle to get work.
After opening up about her unpredictable life, she got frank and said, “The point is, I’ve been in this business for 60 f*****g years.”
Despite the highs and lows, the star encouraged viewers to never stop chasing their dreams, and insisted that the next life-changing opportunity would always be around the corner.
After getting a standing ovation, Cher then slowly turned around and started to walk back to the stage, giving a funny smile at the back.
Host Trevor Noah then suddenly piped up from across the room, and informed the superstar that she was supposed to present the record of the year award.
“Before you go, could we get you to announce the nominees?” the host said as the crowd busted out in laughter.
Cher then put her hands over her mouth and broke out into a smile before walking back to the mic.
But the gaffes weren’t over just yet. After a video played highlighting the nominations, Cher started to read out the winner before going completely silent.
She then muttered that she was told the winner would be on the teleprompter before fumbling with her envelope as the audience laughed.
After opening the note, she then started to read “Luther Vandross” – indicating the winner was Luther, which is by Kendrick Lamar and features SZA.
The song, from his 2024 album GNX, heavily samples Vandross’ 1982 rendition of If This World Were Mine.Despite the silly blunders, the show continued without a hitch – and Cher appeared to hold a friendly conversation with the winners as they shared some words with the audience.
