Following a few years of less-than-conventional COVID-impacted programming, the 2023 Grammys ceremony is returning to a tried and true format. This evening, the bulk of music’s A-listers and their supporting crews will fill the seats of Crypto.com Arena (fka The Staples Center,) to find out who’s taking home the golden gramophones.
Some fair a better chance than most, while others are bracing themselves for a chance at redemption. After receiving awards for just two of her nine nominations in 2017, Beyoncé enters this year’s ceremony with another nine-pack of nods for RENAISSANCE, including “Record of The Year,” “Album of The Year,” and “Song of The Year.” She’ll square up with longtime Grammys rival, Adele — who racked up a total of seven nominations this year for 30 — in all three of the major categories, along with Kendrick Lamar — who earned eight nominations for his 2022 album, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. Other key players to monitor throughout the night include Taylor Swift, Lizzo, and Steve Lacy, all of which have at least four nods this year.
And while the awards are certainly the main attraction, the performances will be their own beast entirely. Fans can expect to see Lacy, Lizzo, Bad Bunny, Mary J. Blige, Sam Smith, and more, hit the stage tonight. There will also be a comprehensive history of hip-hop blowout curated by Questlove and narrated by Black Thought in celebration of the genre’s 50th anniversary, featuring appearances from Rakim, De La Soul, Lil Wayne, The Lox, Queen Latifah, Method Man, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Missy Elliot, Public Enemy, and so many more.
We’ll have all the winners listed here in real-time as they are announced. Tune in to CBS or Paramount+ tonight at 8pm EST to watch the 2023 Grammys live and direct.
