As the anticipation builds for the 2024 Grammy Awards, known as “Music’s Biggest Night,” music enthusiasts can look forward to a star-studded event featuring some of the industry’s brightest talents. The 66th annual Grammys will take place on Sunday, Feb. 4, and will be broadcast live from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Once again, Trevor Noah is set to host the prestigious awards ceremony, marking his fourth consecutive year as the master of ceremonies.
The nominees for the 2024 Grammys were unveiled by the Recording Academy in November, showcasing an impressive lineup of artists across various categories. Notable figures such as Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, SZA, and Billie Eilish have earned nominations in significant categories like best new artist, album of the year, song of the year, and record of the year.
In a move to continually recognize diverse musical contributions, the Grammys have introduced three new categories for the 2024 edition: Best African music performance, best alternative jazz album, and best pop dance recording. This expansion reflects the Recording Academy’s commitment to embracing a wide range of musical genres and styles.
