If you are already anticipating all of the action of the 63rd Grammys, then we have got you covered. Here’s a complete guide to prime you ahead of this year’s ceremony:
Who’s Hosting?
This year, Trevor Noah will be anchoring music’s biggest night. The occasion marks “The Daily Show” star’s first time hosting the awards show. His hosting gig also comes after the star received a nomination at the last event for the best comedy album category for his, “Son of Patricia”.
“Despite the fact that I am extremely disappointed that the Grammys have refused to have me sing or be nominated for best pop album, I am thrilled to be hosting this auspicious event,” the comedian said in a statement last year. “I think as a one-time Grammy nominee, I am the best person to provide a shoulder to all the amazing artists who do not win on the night because I too know the pain of not winning the award. (This is a metaphorical shoulder, I’m not trying to catch Corona.)”
Alicia Keys previously hosted the ceremony in 2020, as well as the year prior.
Who’s Nominated?
Beyoncé leads the list of nominees with a total of nine, followed by Swift, Roddy Ricch and Dua Lipa with six nominations each. Brittany Howard trails closely with five nominations.
Stars such as Justin Bieber, Megan Thee Stallion, Billie Eilish and DaBaby walked away with four nods.
Meanwhile, Nigerian afrobeats star Burna Boy is up for the “Best Global Music Album” category for “Twice As Tall”, his 2020 album.
Who’s Performing?
Plenty of high-profile artists have been enlisted to ensure a can’t-miss slate of performances during the ceremony.
Swift, Lipa and Roddy Rich are set to take the stage (virtual and otherwise) for the 63rd annual awards show, alongside Eilish, Megan and DaBaby, who will also perform.
Joining them on the list of performers are Bad Bunny, Black Pumas, BTS, Cardi B, Brandi Carlile and Doja Cat.
In addition, Mickey Guyton, HAIM, Brittany Howard, Miranda Lambert, Lil Baby, Chris Martin, John Mayer, Maren Morris, Post Malone and Styles will open the show.
