Five years ago, Adele upset Beyoncé for album of the year at the Grammys. Will lightning strike twice Sunday night?
Both the Beyhive and Adele faithful have rooting interests going into the 65th Grammy Awards. With a leading nine nominations, Beyoncé needs just four victories to become the most-winning Grammy artist of all time. But for the night’s biggest prize, she faces not only Adele but also Harry Styles, Lizzo, Bad Bunny and – a blast from the past – ABBA, among others.
Stay tuned for all the winners and highlights from the Premiere Ceremony pre-show (3:30 p.m. EST/12:30 PST) and the main event (8 EST /5 PST).
Grammys 2023 nominees: See which stars could win big at music’s biggest night
The first two Grammys of the day – best compilation soundtrack album for visual media and best score album – goes to Disney’s animated musical “Encanto,” which featured songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda. “Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla” takes the victory for best score soundtrack for a video game.
The list of performers during the main Grammys show includes Harry Styles, Bad Bunny, Mary J. Blige, Brandi Carlile, Luke Combs, Lizzo and the “Unholy” duo of Sam Smith and Kim Petras.
As for presenters, first lady Jill Biden will be one of the main folks giving out hardware alongside Cardi B, James Corden, Billy Crystal, Viola Davis (who could become an EGOT during the Premiere Ceremony), Olivia Rodrigo, Shania Twain and Dwayne Johnson.
The Grammys are usually a place where musicians strut their most interesting stuff. (Lady Gaga’s egg entrance, anyone?) You can get a look at all this year’s looks during the Recording Academy’s “Live from the Red Carpet” livestream scheduled to begin at 6 EST/3 PST on live.grammy.com. E!’s “Live from the Red Carpet” special is slated to start at the same time, co-hosted by Laverne Cox and Bobby Bones, and that’s preceded by a “Live From E!: Countdown to the Grammys” pre-show at 4 EST/1 PST.
