The anticipation is growing for the upcoming 66th annual Grammy Awards, slated for Sunday, Feb. 4, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Trevor Noah will return for the fourth consecutive year as the host, promising a night immersed in musical celebration.
In November, the Recording Academy revealed the nominees, showcasing a diverse lineup of artists. From established figures like Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish to emerging talents such as Olivia Rodrigo and SZA, the competition spans various categories, including best new artist, album of the year, song of the year, and record of the year.
In a move towards inclusivity, three new categories have been introduced: Best African music performance, best alternative jazz album, and best pop dance recording. This step underscores the Grammys' dedication to acknowledging a broad range of musical styles and fostering creative diversity.
For those eagerly awaiting the live broadcast, the 2024 Grammys will be aired on CBS from 8-11:30 p.m. ET/5-8:30 p.m. PT. Streaming options are available on Paramount+, offering both live and on-demand access for Showtime subscribers. Paramount+ Essential subscribers can also enjoy on-demand streaming the day after the broadcast.
To elevate the digital experience, the Grammys are providing a "dynamic, expansive online experience" on live.Grammy.com. This platform ensures a multi-screen livestream during and after the live broadcast, immersing fans in the heart of the event. Exclusive articles, performances, interviews, and videos will further enhance the online experience.
It's worth noting that a significant portion of the awards will be presented during the Premiere Ceremony, streamed live by the Recording Academy on Feb. 4, leading up to the main telecast. This approach ensures deserving artists receive recognition in a pre-show celebration.
As the countdown to the 2024 Grammy Awards is underway, music enthusiasts can look forward to a night filled with glamour, talent, and unforgettable performances. The stars will grace the Crypto.com Arena stage, marking another remarkable chapter in the history of musical excellence.
