ALICIA KEYS OPENS GRAMMYS WITH /KOBE TRIBUTE
The 62nd annual Grammy Awards are here.
Tonight is “music’s biggest night,” and dozens of the world’s biggest artists are being honoured by the prestigious Recording Academy for their efforts and contributions to the music industry, whether they win a Golden Gramophone Award or not.
Topping the nominations list — which was announced in November — is Lizzo, who garnered a whopping eight nods. The Juice singer is followed closely behind by both Billie Eilish and Lil Nas X, who pulled in six nominations each.
Additionally, Canadians are hoping to be made proud by chart-topping artists Michael Bublé and Shawn Mendes, who have each picked up a nomination for tonight’s show: Bublé for ‘Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album’ and Mendes for ‘Best Pop Duo/Group Performance’, alongside girlfriend Camila Cabello.
For the second year in a row, the highly-anticipated ceremony is being hosted by 15-time Grammy Award winner Alicia Keys at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
