Contenders for the 2025 Grammy Awards were announced on November 8, and to no one’s surprise, leading the field with the most nominations (11!) was Beyoncé, who now has a whopping 99 to her credit. (She’s won 32.)

Yet Cowboy Carter has some fierce competition in album of the year, what with Charli XCX’s Brat, Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft, Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department, and Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet also in the mix. They don’t call the Grammys music’s biggest night for nothing.

Among the other major categories? Best new artist, which includes the likes of Carpenter, Roan, Doechii, Raye, Khruangbin, and Beyoncé collaborator Shaboozey (who shared a charming video of himself and his team celebrating his nomination to Instagram); and record of the year, where “Texas Hold ‘Em,” “Espresso,” and “360” will face off against “Good Luck, Babe!,” “Not Like Us,” “Birds of a Feather,” “Fortnight,” and…a song by The Beatles?

The 2025 Grammy Awards will take place at Los Angeles’s Crypto.com Arena on Sunday, February 2, from 5 p.m. PST/8 p.m. EST.

The 2025 Grammy Awards will air on CBS, though the telecast can also be streamed live and on demand on Paramount+ (which happens to be offering a one-week free trial).

No host has been announced just yet, but stay tuned; last year’s emcee, comedian Trevor Noah, could well return to host for the fifth time running.

The bench of talent lined up to perform at this year’s Grammys runs deep: Benson Boone, Billie Eilish, Brad Paisley, Brittany Howard, Bruno Mars, Chappell Roan, Charli XCX, Chris Martin, Cythia Erivo, Doechii, Herbe Hancock, Jacob Collier, Janelle Monae, John Legend, Lady Gaga, Lainey Wilson, Raye, Sabrina Carpenter, Shakira, Sheryl Crow, St. Vincent, Stevie Wonder, and Teddy Swims are all set to take the stage.

While most artists will perform selections from their nominated projects, others have been tapped for special tributes. Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga, for instance, will honor victims of the Los Angeles wildfires — what with the broader ceremony doubling as a fundraiser to support wildfire relief efforts — while the evening will also feature a special salute to the legendary producer Quincy Jones, who died in November.

The list of presenters at the 2025 Grammys inclides Anthony Kiedis and Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Cardi B, Gloria Estefan, Olivia Rodrigo, Queen Latifah, SZA, Taylor Swift, Victoria Monét, and Will Smith.
