Trevor Noah is returning as the Grammys host for his fifth consecutive year. The former talk show host has been praised for his ability to win over the artists in the audience and viewers at home.

Did the Grammys get rescheduled?

The Grammys chose not to reschedule after the LA fires devastated the communities of Altadena and Pacific Palisades.

The ceremony will however commemorate victims and first responders during the broadcast.

"The 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards will carry a renewed sense of purpose: raising additional funds to support wildfire relief efforts and honoring the bravery and dedication of first responders who risk their lives to protect ours," the Grammys said in their January 21 statement.

What awards are handed out on the night?

There are 94 categories at the Grammys, and so only a handful will be handed out at the evening ceremony including the Main Four: Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist.

The other categories will be awarded at an earlier "Premiere Ceremony" at the Peacock Theater, steps away from the Crypto Arena; Justin Tranter, a nominated songwriter, will present.

The Premiere Ceremony will stream live on the Grammy’s website and YouTube channel beginning at 3.30/2.30c.

Who votes for the 2025 Grammys?

The Grammys are one of the only peer-recognized awards shows in music, which is what makes them so prestigious. The Recoding Academy's voting membership, comprised of music creators, including artists, producers, songwriters, and engineers, votes each year, although voters can only vote for 19 categories.

Every voter is allowed to vote for the Main Four, as well as up to 15 categories that cover their areas of expertise.

For example, if you were an engineer who predominantly worked on pop music, you would vote across the pop categories including Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Dance Pop Recording, and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.

What is the difference between Record of the Year and Song of the Year?

The Song Of The Year category recognizes the songwriter or writers who wrote and composed the song, whereas Record of the Year also "recognizes the artist's performance as well as the contributions of the producer(s), recording engineer(s), and/or mixer(s)".

For example, Taylor Swift is nominated for Song of the Year for "Fortnight" alongside co-writers Jack Antonoff and Post Malone. 

But the song is also nominated for Record of the Year, and alongside those three, Louis Bell, Bryce Bordone, Serban Ghenea, Sean Hutchinson, Oli Jacobs, Michael Riddleberger, Laura Sisk, and Randy Merrill, are also nominated.

Who is nominated for a Grammy?

Beyonce became the most-nominated artist in Grammys history, earning herself 11 nods this year including her first nominations in the country music categories for her album Cowboy Carter.
