Music’s biggest night is back in L.A. as the 61st annual Grammy Awards kick off Sunday night from the Staples Center, with coverage beginning live at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.
Old faces like Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Childish Gambino, and Cardi B are present on the ballot with new twists, as the two soundtracks from Black Panther and A Star Is Born dominated this year’s nominations. Along with the big screen, newcomers have arrived from smaller markets like Americana artist Brandi Carlile, and from abroad as Bad Bunny and J Balvin continue the reggaeton invasion.
Despite notable last-second subtractions like Ariana Grande and 21 Savage, Janelle Monáe, Kacey Musgraves, Brandi Carlile, H.E.R., Shawn Mendes, Camila Cabello, Cardi B, Dan + Shay, Post Malone, Lady Gaga and Mark Ronson, Dua Lipa, St. Vincent, Chloe x Halle, Travis Scott, and more will all get their chance to perform throughout the night.
