Each video pulled viewers deeper into the gamble.
How Husband TikTok snuck into the 2026 Grammys without a ticket
ID@undefined Caption not available.Before flying out, Schenberg leveled with his audience. “Okay, real talk,” he said in a video posted a day later of his developing plan. “I’m going out to L.A. this weekend. I do not have an invite to the Grammys, and I do not have a collab lined up with Demi Lovato, but I’m going.”Later, he shared his mindset. “I do not have an invite to the Grammys. I do not have a collab yet with Demi,” he said. “I do know that there’s some important people that sent my videos to some very important people that got it in front of even more important people. That doesn’t mean anything, though, okay?”What he did have was a VIP pass to a pre-Grammys party, sent by a follower. He used it as his entry story at security. “There were six security checkpoints, and I got through the first with that story, and the second, and the third, and the fourth, and the fifth, and then I hit the last one, and this guy was not having it,” he explained.Just when hope faded, fans recognized him. “Husband! Effing! TikTok! What? You got in?” they shouted. Moments later, the guard waved him through.“And that is how I got in the Grammys. I did not have a ticket. I did not buy a ticket. Tana. I didn’t get in with her. I walked right in,” Schenberg concluded.His final message resonated beyond the red carpet. “And I’m telling you now, if you believe you can do it, I promise you, you can do it.”
