Who will grace the stage and present the Grammy Awards?
A stellar lineup of performers includes Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Luke Combs, Olivia Rodrigo, SZA, Travis Scott, Burna Boy, Billy Joel, Joni Mitchell, and U2. This marks the first Grammy performance for the nine-time Grammy Award winner Joni Mitchell.
The awards will be presented by a star-studded cast, including Christina Aguilera, Lenny Kravitz, Lionel Richie, Meryl Streep, and Oprah Winfrey.
Who is taking on hosting?
For the fourth consecutive year, comedian and actor Trevor Noah will take the helm as the host of the Grammys. A two-time Grammy nominee himself, Noah began hosting during the scaled-down, outdoor ceremony in the experimental COVID-19 days. Despite his seasoned experience, the former Daily Show host remains excited about the 66th Grammys, hoping to create more memorable moments, such as receiving compliments from Jay-Z or rapping backstage with Busta Rhymes. Since leaving The Daily Show in 2022, Noah has expanded his repertoire with a podcast, “What Now? with Trevor Noah,” and a Netflix comedy special, “Trevor Noah: Where Was I.”
