Last night, ELLE tapped Jessica (Jess) Judith to host the red carpet for the 2026 Grammy Awards. The Miami-based Dominican creator brought her signature personality and warmth to music’s biggest night, where she conducted bilingual interviews with some of the biggest names in the industry.
For Judith, the evening served as a major career milestone. While she has spent time interviewing talents like Saturday Night Live’s Marcello Hernández, this was her first time hosting a red carpet. Throughout the night, celebrities the likes of J Balvin, Ryan Castro, and more were charmed by her infectious enthusiasm. “I’m with my favorite TikToker right here,” Feid said. He was nominated for Best Música Urbana album.
Feid was just one of the Latin music stars who stopped by because they’re not only fans of Judith’s, but close friends. Alberto “Beto” Montenegro and Andrés “Fofo” Story, who count themselves among her pals, even worked with her to translate one of their songs from Spanish to English, creating a hilarious moment on the carpet.
Her questions ranged from music to fashion to hidden talents, keeping the vibe light while also integrating artists’ projects. Zara Larsson gave her immediate reaction following her pre-show performance, PinkPantheress let the world know she was working on her splits, and Tyla shared that she secretly loves to draw. A highlight of the night was when Judith asked Sombr which of his songs people should be listening to right now. Sombr teased that something new may be on the horizon. “My next song, which there’s no name that you know of yet,” he said, after accidentally saying the name to the camera.
