Sam Smith and Kim Petras, the voices behind the number one hit Unholy , will also perform, as well as country icon Luke Combs and R&B artist Steve Lacy.
Bad Bunny, nominated for best album for Un Verano Sin Ti, will also perform.
Who’s hosting? For the third time in a row, comedian Trevor Noah will host. Noah also hosted 2021′s socially distanced show at the Los Angeles Convention Centre and the ceremony at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas in 2022.
Who’s nominated? Beyonce leads with nine nominations, including nods for song, album, and record of the year. Her strongest competition comes from Adele, Harry Styles, Lizzo and Kendrick Lamar, who each have nominations in those three categories.
Beyonce has now tied with her husband Jay-Z for the most Grammy nominations of all time - 88. She already holds the record for the most wins for a female artist, with 28. If she wins four more, she will break the overall record of 31, belonging to conductor Greg Solti.
And Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti could become the first Spanish-language album to take album of the year.
