It wouldn’t be “Music’s Biggest Night” without tons of epic performances by some of the biggest names in the business. The 66th Annual Grammy Awards<\/a> will be held on Sunday, February 4, and tons of stars are up for the major awards! Ahead of the show, SZA<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>leads the nominees with nine for her record\u00a0SOS.<\/em> She’s followed by\u00a0Victoria Mon\u00e9t<\/strong>, Phoebe Bridgers<\/strong>, and Serben Ghenea<\/strong>, who each have seven nominations. As the night of the ceremony is drawing nearer, the Recording Academy has announced that the likes of Travis Scott<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Billie Eilish<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>will take the stage, among many more. More recently, it was announced that Joni Mitchell<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>would be performing on the show. The Daily Show\u00a0<\/em>alum\u00a0<\/a>Trevor Noah<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>will also serve as the MC for the show for his fourth year hosting in a row.<\/p>\n

Trevor had announced that he’d be hosting the ceremony on his podcast\u00a0What Now?\u00a0<\/em>back in December. “I enjoy the Grammys because I get to watch the show in person and then experience and comment on it in person while it is happening,” he said, via\u00a0Variety<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>Of course, Trevor will have tons of excellent performances to watch and comment on. Get to know more about the performers who have been announced so far!<\/p>\n

Joni Mitchell, 80, will be performing at the Grammys for the first time. The Grammys announced her upcoming performance on January 28. Joni is up for an award in the Best Folk Album<\/a> category for her 2023 live album, Joni Mitchell At Newport [Live]<\/em>. Joni has won 9 Grammys out of 18 nominations so far in her career.<\/p>\n

Billy Joel<\/h2>\n

Billy Joel was announced as a performer at the award show on Thursday, January 25, per Pitchfork<\/em><\/a>. Billy has won five Grammys throughout his career. The Piano Man’s appearance will come just days after releasing his upcoming single “Turn the Lights Back On.” The new song will be his first new pop song since 2007.<\/p>\n

Billie Eilish<\/h2>\n

The Recording Academy announced their first slate of performers on January 15, and one of the first performers announced was former Best New Artist winner Billie Eilish, per Pitchfork<\/a><\/em>. This year, Billie is up for six awards, and most of them are for her track “What Was I Made For?” which she wrote for Barbie.\u00a0<\/em>While she’s also up for her feature on\u00a0Labrinth<\/strong>‘s “Never Felt So Alone,” Billie will likely be performing “What Was I Made For?”<\/p>\n

Olivia Rodrigo<\/h2>\n

Another former Best New Artist winner,\u00a0Olivia Rodrigo\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>was also one of the first performers announced. Like Billie, she’s also up for six awards, many of them for her excellent sophomore record\u00a0Guts.\u00a0<\/em>Olivia’s second record has already had tons of hits for her songs like\u00a0“vampire<\/a>” and “get him back!” and it seems possible that she could perform quite a few different numbers from the album. She’s gotten to perform tons of tracks for various TV performances and past award shows like the 2023 MTV VMAs,<\/a> where she performed both of the aforementioned hits<\/a>. She’s performed a few other songs from the record on\u00a0Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Saturday Night Live,\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.<\/em><\/p>\n

Dua Lipa<\/h2>\n

Dua Lipa<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>is not only yet another past Best New Artist winner, but she’s also another performer. The singer is nominated for Song of the Year and Best Song Written for Visual Media for her track “Dance the Night,” from\u00a0Barbie.\u00a0<\/em>Given that it’s the only song that she’s nominated for this year, it seems safe to assume that Dua will perform “Dance the Night.”<\/p>\n

Burna Boy<\/h2>\n

The second batch of performers was announced on Monday, January 22, via Pitchfork<\/a><\/em>. Nigerian rapper Burna Boy\u00a0<\/strong>is no stranger to the Grammys. He won the Best Global Music Album award in 2021, and he’s also had nominations in 2020 and 2023. He’s up for four awards this year for a handful of tracks and his album\u00a0I Told Them…\u00a0<\/em>Given the variety of his nominations, it seems possible that he could perform a number of his different tracks.<\/p>\n

Travis Scott<\/h2>\n

Travis received his ninth nomination this year for Best Rap Album for his record\u00a0Utopia.\u00a0<\/em>The rapper had dropped his long-awaited follow-up to 2019’s Astroworld\u00a0<\/em>in July 2023. With 19 tracks on the album, Travis certainly has a lot to choose from for his performance.<\/p>\n

Luke Combs<\/h2>\n

Luke Combs\u00a0<\/strong>was announced as another featured performer in the second set. The country music star is only nominated for one award for Best Country Solo Performance for his cover of Tracy Chapman’s\u00a0<\/strong>1988 hit “Fast Car.” When Tracy released the original song, she received three Grammy nominations for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. She won in the third category. Since “Fast Car” is Luke’s only nomination, he is performing the track with Tracy at the awards show, according to Variety<\/em><\/a>. This is a rare appearance for Tracy, and fans are excited to see her bring the house down. She has not performed on stage in several years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
