Terri Lyons fell to her knees on the Queen’s Park Savannah stage and prayed.

On a night filled with pointed social commentary, political reflection and emotional storytelling, it was that quiet, deeply spiritual moment that ultimately carried her to victory.

With a moving performance of “Blessings,” Lyons was crowned the 2026 National Calypso Monarch at Dimanche Gras on Sunday night, earning 263 points to secure her second title, $1 million in cash and a brand new Suzuki Vitara.
