Get ready for the 2025 Grammy Awards! This year’s ceremony will be held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday. The Recording Academy is putting a special focus on supporting relief efforts for the areas affected by recent wildfires.
Here’s how you can catch all the action and celebrate music’s biggest night.
Showtime and Viewing Options
The main event kicks off live at 8 p.m. Eastern Time on CBS and Paramount+. If you have Paramount+ with Showtime, you can also stream it live or watch it on demand later.
Exciting Performances
Expect fabulous performances from artists like Billie Eilish, Shakira, and Benson Boone. There will be a special tribute to legendary producer Quincy Jones, featuring Will Smith, Stevie Wonder, and Janelle Monáe. Other artists slated to perform include Charli XCX, Doechii, and John Legend.
Even though Taylor Swift won’t be performing this year, she’ll be a presenter, along with stars like Cardi B and Olivia Rodrigo.
Your Streaming Options
You can also catch the Grammys on live TV streaming platforms like Hulu + Live TV and YouTube TV. If you miss the live show, Paramount+ will have it available for streaming the next day. If you want to catch the pre-ceremony hosted by Justin Tranter, that starts at 3:30 p.m. Eastern and will stream on the Recording Academy’s YouTube channel.
Red Carpet Access
Don’t miss the glamour! A red carpet show will be streamed by the Associated Press on YouTube and APNews.com. You can see interviews and fashion highlights there.
Who to Look Out For: Nominations
This year, Beyoncé leads the nominations with a staggering 11, making her the artist with the most nominations in Grammy history. Following her are other heavyweights like Post Malone, Billie Eilish, and Kendrick Lamar with seven nominations each. Taylor Swift also shines with six nominations.
Support for Wildfire Relief
This year’s Grammy Awards will be different due to the recent wildfires impacting Los Angeles. The Recording Academy and MusiCares initiated the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort and have committed over $4 million to assist those affected in the music community.
Major companies like Spotify and Universal Music Group have canceled their Grammy week events to redirect funds towards wildfire relief. This year, the Recording Academy shrank its pre-Grammy events to focus on fundraising and support.
Community Response
Organizations in the music industry are stepping up. MusiCares will still host its annual gala before the Grammys, honoring the Grateful Dead while also committing to support wildfire relief.
The 2025 Grammy Awards promise to be a night of celebration and solidarity, showing the music industry’s heart and resilience in tough times.
