Grammys

Through her song Happier Than Ever, Eilish could become the first artist ever to win record of the year three times in a row.

The awards will be without several big names: Drake and The Weeknd both decided to not take part in the Grammys, at all. H. E.R., who won song of the year last year for I Can’t Breathe, could go back-to-back. Through her song Happier Than Ever, Eilish could become the first artist ever to win record of the year three times in a row, and the only artist along with Paul Simon to take home the award three times. She’s in position to join Adele as the only artists to ever win three major categories — record, song and album of the year — twice. He could pull away in the jazz, American roots music and classical fields. If Batiste wins in eight categories, he will tie Michael Jackson and rock band Santana for the record.

The band win best rock album and best rock performance, a week after drummer Taylor Hawkins' death.

Donda is attributed to more than 160 people, all of whom could take the stage if it wins Album of the Year.

(There was already controversy over West's nominations given his behaviour, as well as the involvement on Donda of Marilyn Manson, who has been accused of sexual assault, and DaBaby, who has faced blowback for homophobic comments.) As is true of the performers, this year's presenters are an eclectic mix. She received a Kennedy Center Honors late last year and, just months ago, joined Neil Young in removing her music from Spotify. For the sake of everyone involved, let's hope not. But that doesn't mean the Grammys will be a snoozefest, either. She has kept a relatively low profile since suffering a brain aneurysm several years ago, though she has remained in the news.

However, the 19-year-old pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo, who is nominated for the four top awards — album, record and song of the year, and best new artist — will ...

Rodrigo is up against Billie Eilish — who swept the four top awards in 2020 — in three of those categories. However, the 19-year-old pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo, who is nominated for the four top awards — album, record and song of the year, and best new artist — will be closely watched. The presenters include Megan Thee Stallion, Questlove and Dua Lipa, as well as Joni Mitchell, who will make a rare televised appearance.

It comes a week and a half after the death of the band's drummer, Taylor Hawkins.

Hawkins had been the band’s drummer for 25 years and was the best friend of Foo Fighters’ frontman Dave Grohl. The group won Grammys for best rock performance, best rock song and best rock album. The Foo Fighters have won three Grammys around a week and a half after the death of their drummer Taylor Hawkins.

After last week's shocking Oscars event, what do today's music awards have in store?

The biggest names to watch this year are American singer and songwriter, Jon Batiste, who leads the nominations tally with 11 potential wins, followed by pop stalwart Justin Bieber, H. E.R., and Doja Cat all up for eight awards. After a dramatic episode at the Oscars last week where Best Actor winner Will Smith assaulted Chris Rock in a shocking on-stage outburst, audience interest has been reignited in the unpredictable live television procession of celebrities celebrating celebrities. The Foo Fighters have been awarded the Grammys for Best Rock Performance, Best Rock Song and Best Rock Album and Kanye West has scooped up a Grammy for Melodic Rap Performance, for Hurricane and Best Rap Song for Jail.

The 64th Annual Grammy Awards are off to an exciting start and host Trevor Noah has come armed with plenty of comedic banter following the recent events at ...

"I would also like to apologise to the Academy, the producers of the show, all the attendees and everyone watching around the world. I would like to apologise to the Williams family and my King Richard family. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. The actor later posted to his Instagram account: "Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. My behaviour at last night's Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. Smith has since issued a lengthy apology for his actions.

Join us as we watch the 64th Academy Awards on Sunday night, and follow along for live updates and analysis of the award winners and best performances.

Unsurprisingly, “Folklore” won album of the year at last year’s Grammys, and if “Evermore” repeats the feat this year, it’ll make 2022 feel like 2021, but also like 2020, potentially cinching pandemic spacetime into a Gordian knot from which we may never be released: Taylortime, all the time, evermore, for real. Improving inclusivity is a noble and essential goal for the Recording Academy, but Grammy night is fundamentally about prestige — and the only way to transform something inherently exclusive into something more inclusive is by inviting new people and dismissing the same-olds. The idea here is that “bigger” means “more inclusive,” which doesn’t really make sense.

"The war. What is more opposite to music? The silence of ruined cities and killed people. Our children draw swooping rockets, not shooting stars."

“To all our cities the war is destroying – Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Volnovakha, Maiurpol and others – they are legends already, but I have a dream of them living. "The war. To live.
