The upcoming Grammys in 2024 will feature an impressive lineup of talented artists. Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, SZA, and U2 are set to take the stage and captivate the audience with their incredible performances. This star-studded event promises to be a memorable night filled with exceptional music and well-deserved recognition for these renowned musicians. The annual ceremony, held in Los Angeles on Sunday, has gained a reputation for favoring traditional acts rather than contemporary pop artists. However, this year’s nominees are more mainstream, with R&B star SZA leading the pack with nine nominations. The event will feature performances from a range of big names, including Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, Joni Mitchell, and U2. Comedian Trevor Noah will host for the fourth consecutive year, overseeing a staggering 94 categories. Phoebe Bridgers’ indie-rock supergroup Boygenius and pop star Victoria Monét also have seven nominations each. Chart-toppers Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Miley Cyrus, Lana Del Rey, and Ice Spice are among the female artists with multiple nominations. The Grammys, presented by the Recording Academy, recognize outstanding achievements in music, with over 80 awards to be given out during the “premiere ceremony.” The winners in lesser-known categories often display more excitement, and the performances are more intimate and musically focused. If Swift wins album of the year for “Midnights,” she will make history as the first artist to win the prestigious award four times. Currently, she is tied with Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder, and Frank Sinatra, who each have three wins. However, the Grammys have traditionally shown more interest in Swift’s country and folk ventures rather than her pop records. The competition for album of the year is fierce, and the full list of nominees can be found below.
