Music legend Cher had a viral fumble announcing the correct winner of the Grammy record of the year award Sunday night.
Rather than present the award to Kendrick Lamar and SZA for "Luther," Cher, 79, initially offered the award to the late singer in the title: Luther Vandross, who died in 2005.
"And the Grammy goes to…" she said from the stage at the Feb. 1 ceremony, a pause filling the room before she realized she needed to open the envelope to announce the winner. "They told me it was going to be on a prompter!"
"Oh, the Grammy goes to Luther Vandross!" Cher said.
Cher presents the award for record of the year during the 68th GRAMMY Awards.
Cher quickly corrected herself, saying, "No, Kendrick Lamar" over the applause. "Luther" samples Vandross' 1982 duet of "If This World Were Mine" with Cheryl Lynn.

1 / 198Lady Gaga, Chappell Roan, Olivia Dean, more stun on Grammys red carpet
The hottest names in music hit the red carpet at the Grammy Awards Feb. 1. These were the night's most eye-catching looks, starting with Sabrina Carpenter's jaw-dropping look. Scroll through for more photos from the night!
Lamar, SZA and more made their way to the stage, with Sounwave, one of the "Luther" producers, taking the mic first.
"First and foremost, let's give a shout out to the late, great Luther Vandross," Sounwave said.
Lamar took the slip up in stride, walking to the stage saying with a chuckle, "This is what music is about."
Lamar added seriously, "This is special for me. I gotta take my time. He's one of my favorite artists of all time. Because he's one of my favorite artists of all time. They granted us the privilege to do our version of [the song 'If This World Were Mine']. When we got that clearance, I promise you, we damn near all dropped a tear, because we know how much him and Cheryl Lynn poured into that record. Being able to put our vocals of it proves that we are somewhat worthy of being just as great as them individuals. They granted us that."
Sure, there are awards handed out at the Grammys. But what we really want are the performances! Here are the best performers of 2026, starting with Lady Gaga.

Grammys: Cher almost walked off the stage before award
It was a memorable Grammy appearance for Cher, who gave an inspirational speech for her Lifetime Achievement Award. After the speech, Cher tried to leave the stage before giving out the record of the year award.
"I guess I'm supposed to walk off the stage now," Cher said, turning around.
Host Trevor Noah had to pull the star back. "Before you go Cher, could I get you to announce the nominees? I could do it, but it's not the same. I don't have the track record."
