Dalai Lama Beats Trevor Noah to Win First Grammy At 90

by rrollins, February 3, 2026

At the 2026 Grammy Awards, the Dalai Lama made history by winning his first Grammy at age 90, triumphing in the Best Audio Book, Narration & Storytelling Recording category. His meditation‑focused spoken‑word project, centered on compassion and inner calm, edged out nominees including Trevor Noah. Accepted on his behalf by Rufus Wainwright, the award places the Tibetan spiritual leader among a rare group of non‑musicians honored at the Grammys, alongside filmmaker Steven Spielberg. For a ceremony known for loud performances, viral moments, and celebrity spectacle, a quiet meditation record taking home an award offered a striking and memorable contrast.
