The Recording Academy has officially started handing out Grammys. Winners in most of this year's 94 categories will receive their gramophone trophies at the afternoon Premiere Ceremony, hosted by Justin Trantor at the Peacock Theater, with a small handful reserved for the main show Sunday night at Crypto.com Arena. We'll be updating this post throughout the day by bolding the winners in each category.
The Grammy festivities have been toned down significantly in 2025 in light of the LA wildfires. The big three label groups Universal, Sony, and Warner all canceled their Grammy-related events. Billboard and Spotify canceled their annual events as well. And the Recording Academy itself canceled several events including the Producers & Engineers Wing celebration and the Black Music Collective’s event for Kirk Franklin. However, the MusiCares Persons Of The Year Charity Gala (which this year honored the Grateful Dead), the Special Merit Awards Ceremony & Grammy Nominees Reception, and Clive Davis’ annual Pre-Grammy Gala still took place this weekend, with the latter turned into a fundraising event.
Some big stars will present awards at the main show, including Taylor Swift, Will Smith, SZA, Olivia Rodrigo, Victoria Monét, Chili Peppers duo Anthony Kiedis and Chad Smith, Cardi B, Gloria Estefan, and Queen Latifah. Among those performing on the main show: Billie Eilish, Charli XCX, Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, Doechii, Raye, Teddy Swims, Shaboozey, and Shakira. There will also be a tribute "to the city of Los Angeles and those affected by the wildfires" from "Die With A Smile" singers Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars as well as a medley honoring the late Quincy Jones led by Stevie Wonder and Janelle Monáe, along with the standard In Memoriam segment. Herbie Hancock, St. Vincent, Brad Paisley, Brittany Howard, Chris Martin, Cynthia Erivo, Jacob Collier, Lainey Wilson, Sheryl Crow, and John Legend are also among tribute segment performers.
Artists like Chappell Roan, Charli XCX, Sabrina Carpenter, and Knocked Loose (makers of "the heaviest song ever nominated for a Grammy") could win for the first time today. The Beatles are also nominated for the first time since the '90s; however if the they win in either of their categories, John Lennon and George Harrison do not get awarded since contributions to "new recordings" have to have been made within five years of the music's release. This happened the last time the Beatles won (three awards in 1997) as Lennon's contributions were not recognized. Either way, Ringo Starr will not be eating pizza afterwards. Other trivia about this year's nominees include the fact that for the first time no men were nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album and that none of the songs nominated for Best Pop Solo Performance hit #1 on the Hot 100.
If Jimmy Carter posthumously wins Best Audio Book, Narration & Storytelling Recording (for the fourth time) he will be the oldest Grammy winner in history, surpassing Pinetop Perkins who was 97 when he won Best Traditional Blues Album in 2011. The former president was 100 years old when the nominations were announced. Trevor Noah is hosting for the fifth straight year and he's nominated for Best Comedy Album; if he wins, he’ll be the second Grammy host to accept an award when they're hosting, following Kenny Rogers in 1980. And if "Birds Of A Feather" or "Die With A Smile" wins Song Of The Year it would make Billie Eilish and Finneas or Bruno Mars and D'Mile, respectively, the first artists to win that category three times.
If Taylor Swift gets Album Of The Year for The Tortured Poets Department, she'll break her own record for most wins in that category with five. If André 3000 wins it for New Blue Sun, it would be the first instrumental LP to do so since Henri Mancini's The Music From Peter Gunn at the very first Grammys in 1959. (André announced yesterday, however, that he is unable to attend the ceremony.) And of course Beyoncé could also finally take home Album Of The Year for Cowboy Carter; she'd be the fourth Black woman to do so. As for whether Bey’s 11 Grammy nominations this year tops Michael Jackson’s Thriller record, it's complicated.
The Grammy Awards evening ceremony airs on CBS and starts at 8pm ET/5pm PT and runs until 11pm ET/8pm PT.
