Before the first trophy was handed out at the 2026 Grammy Awards, one unexpected red-carpet exchange had already captured the internet’s attention. As cameras flashed at the Crypto.com Arena, Chappell Roan made a dramatic entrance that instantly set social media alight—not only for her daring fashion choice, but for a brief, unscripted moment involving Jamie Foxx and his daughters that quickly became one of the night’s most talked-about clips.
Roan, who earned widespread recognition after winning Best New Artist in 2025, returned to the Grammys with multiple nominations and a look that leaned heavily into avant-garde fashion. Wearing a custom Mugler design, she blended high couture with performance art, staying true to the bold visual identity that has defined her rise in pop music. The outfit, dramatic and theatrical, ensured all eyes were on her long before she reached the interview area.
That attention only intensified when Foxx, attending the ceremony with his daughters Corinne and Anelise, crossed paths with Roan on the carpet. Cameras caught Foxx warmly introducing the singer to his girls, mentioning that his younger daughter was a big fan. The interaction was brief and polite, ending quickly as Roan was guided onward for photos, but the exchange—captured from multiple angles—spread rapidly across social platforms within minutes.
Online reaction was swift and divided. Some viewers praised the moment as lighthearted and genuine, while others debated the setting and timing of the interaction. Regardless of interpretation, the clip racked up millions of views in under a day, cementing Roan’s status as one of the Grammys’ most talked-about figures. Once again, the night proved that at music’s biggest event, it often takes just a few seconds—rather than a speech or a song—to dominate the conversation.
