The 64th annual Grammy Awards are being held for the first time at the MGM Grand Garden Arena with Trevor Noah as host.
Olivia Rodrigo has swept 3 out of the 4 awards she was nominated for including the Best New Artist award so far. Rodrigo is up against Billie Eilish — who swept the four top awards in 2020 — in three of those categories. Jon Batiste received 11 nominations and won four awards at the premiere ceremony.
Rodrigo, BTS, Lil Nas X with Jack Harlow, Silk Sonic, Eilish, J Balvin, Carrie Underwood, John Legend and Lady Gaga performed. Presenters also included Megan Thee Stallion, Questlove and Dua Lipa, as well as Joni Mitchell. The show featured an in memoriam segment with songs of Stephen Sondheim by Cynthia Erivo, Leslie Odom Jr., Ben Platt and Rachel Zegler, as well as a moment of observation for the war in Ukraine, with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressing the gathering with a prerecorded message.
The award show came with its own unique challenges this year as Kanye West asked not to perform at the ceremony because of troubling online behavior. Foo Fighters, who were up for three awards, also canceled after the sudden demise of the band’s drummer, Taylor Hawkins.
