In the words of world-renowned in-ring announcer David Diamante, the time has come!
On Sunday, February 2, 2025, many of the greatest entertainers, musicians, and creatives in the world today will descend upon Crypto.com Arena. No, LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers will not defend their home court against a Western Conference foe. Instead, the Record Academy will present one of the most coveted pieces of hardware a musician can receive — a GRAMMY Award.
Beyoncé will enter the venue as not only the most nominated artist in the history of the GRAMMY Awards, but she’ll also walk into the arena as the most nominated artist of this particular year. Leading all artists with eleven nominations, the Houston, Texas native’s latest album, Cowboy Carter, is one the heavyweights looking to claim an award that Beyoncé has never won — Album of the Year. Right behind Beyoncé, Post Malone, Kendrick Lamar, and Charli xcx each boast seven nominations.
Beyoncé is nominated more than any artist, but she’ll leave the performance stage to several emerging acts, including Doechii, Teddy Swims, and Chappell Roan. Not to be forgotten, legends like Stevie Wonder, Shakira, and Sheryl Crow will also perform. Hosted by Trevor Noah, the 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards promise to be one to remember. Here’s everything you need to know for music’s biggest night.

Host
Comedian, author and entertainer Trevor Noah will host the 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards live from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California. Noah will also serve as the show’s executive producer.
“Round 5. #Grammys Here. We. Go!,” Noah tweeted on Friday, January 31.
Noah is no stranger to hosting big events on television. Not only has he hosted the White House Correspondents Dinner, but he’s also hosted the four previous GRAMMY Awards. Furthermore, he is the former host of The Daily Show, leading nearly 1,100 episodes of the Comedy Central series.
Nominations
Do GRAMMY nominations count if Beyoncé is omitted?
On Sunday, February 2, 2025, the most-nominated artist in the award show’s history, Beyoncé, will return as she’s up for 11 awards. The Houston native is nominated in three of the “Big Four” categories, including Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Record of the Year. If she wins Album of the Year, it would mark the first time that a Black woman has won the award in more than 25 years.
Trailing behind Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, Post Malone, and Charli xcx have each earned seven nominations. Kendrick Lamar is looking to pick up some hardware after his Drake diss record, “Not Like Us,” earned five nominations. Meanwhile, Post Malone hopes to earn his first GRAMMY Award in a Country music category. As for Charli XCX, the evening could prove to be career-defining. While she’s earned 10 nominations and topped the charts before, she’s never won a GRAMMY Award. Will that change on Sunday, February 2, 2025?

Not only do fans get to see many of their favorite artists pick up coveted hardware, but they also get to see many of their favorite artists take the stage and perform. This year, things are no different. The Recording Academy has compiled a collection of legends, established stars, and emerging artists to rock the microphone, including Stevie Wonder, Doechii, Shakira, Teddy Swims, Sheryl Crow, and John Legend, to name a few.
However, the ceremony is already three and a half hours long, so not everyone can perform. With that said, there is more than enough room for superstars to present awards. SZA, Will Smith, Queen Latifah, Victoria Monét, Olivia Rodrigo, and Taylor Swift are just a few of the artists set to present awards on Sunday, February 2, 2025.
Special Tributes
The 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards is no stranger to a tribute. From honoring genres to celebrating recently deceased figures, the ceremony is a vehicle to recognize the year’s biggest moments and the most influential figures in all of entertainment. This year, things will be no different. The 67th GRAMMY Awards will reportedly feature two tributes, one for iconic hitmaker Quincy Jones and another for those impacted by the wildfires that have swept throughout Los Angeles County in the last month. As previously announced, the tributes will feature the following performers: Brad Paisley, Brittany Howard, Coldplay’s Chris Martin, Cynthia Erivo, Herbie Hancock, Jacob Collier, Janelle Monáe, John Legend, Lainey Wilson, Sheryl Crow, St. Vincent, and Stevie Wonder.
