The two‑dollar bill is one of the rarest notes in U.S. currency today. Most people rarely see one in circulation, and many haven’t seen one at all. That fact alone was enough to get social media talking when stars were caught carrying them at the Grammys.
Celebrities spotted with $2 bills at the 2026 Grammys
While there’s no official list of every celebrity who had a two‑dollar bill at the Grammys, several appeared in photos with them in hand. Images circulating on X show vocalist Rosé posing with Sabrina Carpenter, both holding what looked like the unusual bills, and Lady Gaga chatting with tech executive Michael Polansky, with several $2 notes on their table. Fans also pointed out pop star Chappell Roan cradling a folded $2 bill in one candid shot.

This detail turned into one of the biggest side stories of the night, almost as viral as Bad Bunny making history with Album of the Year and Billie Eilish and Kendrick Lamar delivering powerhouse wins.
And then you have the more out-there theories, like the idea that the bills were tied to some mysterious figure dubbed “Two Dollar Steve,” a New York lawyer known for handing out $2 bills as tokens of health, wealth, and luck to musicians and industry folks at major events. According to some posts, he’s handed out thousands in $2 notes over the years, meaning this might not have been random at all.
