The When and Where

The 67th annual GRAMMY Awards will air live on Sunday, Feb. 2 at 5 p.m. PST on CBS and Paramount+. The stars will gather at Crypto.com Arena (formerly the Staples Center) in Downtown Los Angeles.

The Who

For the fifth year, comedian Trevor Noah will host the awards. While Beyoncé stands as the most-awarded and most-nominated artist in GRAMMY history—with 32 wins and 99 nominations—she has the chance to add even more hardware to her trophy case with her 11 nominations for her work from the genre-bending album, Cowboy Carter. Charli XCX, Billie Eilish, Post Malone and Kendrick Lamar follow with seven nominations, and pop queens Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan have each earned six nominations.

She's also the first and only artist to have won the award four times, breaking the three-time winning record held by Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder and Paul Simon.

The Competition

Known as the Big Four—Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best New Artist—the night’s biggest awards, of the 94 awarded, will be vied for by a fiercely competitive lineup of artists. Here are the standings:

Album of the Year

  • Andre 3000 - New Blue Sun
  • Beyoncé - Cowboy Carter
  • Sabrina Carpenter - Short n’ Sweet
  • Charli XCX - Brat
  • Jacob Collier - Djesse Vol. 4
  • Billie Eilish - Hit Me Hard and Soft
  • Chappell Roan - The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess
  • Taylor Swift - The Tortured Poets Department

Song of the Year

Song of the Year honors songwriters for the composition, melody and lyrics of a song.

  • Shaboozey - “A Bar Song (Tipsy)”
  • Billie Eilish - “Birds of a Feather”
  • Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars - “Die with a Smile”
  • Taylor Swift ft. Post Malone - “Fortnight”
  • Chappell Roan - “Good Luck, Babe!”
  • Kendrick Lamar - “Not Like Us”

Record of the Year

  • Sabrina Carpenter - “Espresso”
  • Charli XCX - “360”

A recent CBS promotion confirmed Taylor Swift and Beyoncé’s attendance at the awards, but fans are still waiting to see if either will perform. A special tribute to the late Quincy Jones will take place, along with programming that honors the victims of the recent Los Angeles fires. Click here for how The Recording Academy is giving back.

The Invite

While the music industry’s most notable artists, producers, recording engineers, mixers, publicists and celebrity presenters top the GRAMMY guest list, mere mortals can earn an invitation through exclusive partnerships with The Recording Academy. We’ll be in the room on Feb. 2 thanks to Hilton Honors Experiences, a program that gives Hilton Honors members and music lovers exclusive access to the GRAMMY Awards. Guests can choose from two options—the Ultimate GRAMMY Experience and the Gold GRAMMY Experience, which both offer stays at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills. As the Official Hotel Partner of the GRAMMY Awards, Hilton’s tight-knit relationship with The Recording Academy is a fitting one. In 1959, The Beverly Hilton hosted the inaugural ceremony, and the brand is also credited with inventing the Las Vegas residency as we know it today. How’s that for hitting a high note?
