The 67th Grammy Awards are set to dazzle audiences worldwide on Sunday, not just with spectacular performances, but also with a heartfelt focus on healing the community. With Los Angeles still recovering from devastating wildfires that have ravaged more than 14,000 structures and displaced thousands, this year’s Grammys will incorporate efforts to support wildfire victims, setting a hopeful and unifying tone for the ceremony.
To aid those affected, the Recording Academy, alongside its charity arm MusiCares, has already distributed $2 million in emergency aid and pledged a further $4 million to support individuals from the music industry who have been impacted by these disasters. On Grammy night, viewers and attendees alike will witness an ongoing commitment to raising donations and awareness, ensuring the music community stands strong and united.
The event will be hosted again by the ever-charismatic Trevor Noah, taking the helm for his fifth consecutive year. This year, the Crypto.com Arena will echo with anticipation not only for Grammy trophies but also for the impactful stories and connections that the evening promises.
For those tuning in, the Grammys will broadcast live on CBS and Paramount+ at 8 p.m. Eastern, with additional streaming options available on services like Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, and FuboTV. The festivities kick off earlier at 3:30 p.m. Eastern with the premiere ceremony at the Peacock Theater, hosted by renowned songwriter Justin Tranter. This segment will be accessible for streaming on the Recording Academy’s YouTube channel and live.GRAMMY.com.
Leading this year's nominations is the unparalleled Beyoncé with 11 nods, pushing her career total to an astounding 99 Grammy nominations, the most in history. Fans and music historians alike are keen to see if she will achieve another historical milestone by clinching the Album of the Year, potentially becoming the first Black woman to do so in the 21st century. Competition is fierce, with artists like Post Malone, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, and Charli XCX in the eternal race for the Grammy gold.
The star-studded lineup for the night includes groundbreaking performances by Sabrina Carpenter, Shakira, and Taylor Swift, among others. Music legends such as Stevie Wonder and Janelle Monáe will honor the memory of the iconic producer Quincy Jones with especial tributes, adding layers of nostalgia and reverence to the celebrations.
Taylor Swift, fresh off her successful Eras tour, will be gracing the stage as a presenter, alongside a diverse list of personalities including Cardi B, Gloria Estefan, Olivia Rodrigo, and Queen Latifah. Each artist brings their unique flair to what promises to be an unforgettable night of achievements, artistry, and unity.
Beyond the awards and performances, the Grammys serve as a beacon of support and resilience, embodying the spirit of the music industry in the face of adversity. This year's show reaffirms the power of music not just as an art form, but as a force for positive change and community support.
