The 67th Grammy Awards, hosted by Trevor Noah, was held at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday night (Feb. 2).
Music’s Biggest Night brought out music’s biggest stars from all genres, including Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Alicia Keys, John Legend, Kendrick Lamar, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, and even a surprise appearance from The Weeknd.
Before the 2025 Grammy Awards took place, the Premiere Ceremony was held at Peacock Theater, where more than 80 Grammy awards were presented across all genres.
In a previous statement, Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. said, “The Premiere Ceremony will not only kick off our GRAMMY Sunday, it will provide an opportunity to show that in times of adversity, music has the power to be used for good, to help our community unite, and to show our community’s resilience. I look forward to honoring the year in music and being together with our amazing community.”
Hosted by songwriter Justin Tranter, the Premiere Ceremony opened with an ensemble performance by Deborah Cox, Yolanda Adams, Wayne Brady, Scott Hoying, Angelique Kidjo, and Taj Mahal, who are all nominated at the 2025 Grammy Awards.
Cox landed her first nomination for Best Musical Theater Album for The Wiz (2024 Broadway Cast Recording). The Canadian singer starred as Glinda, the Good Witch of the South, in the Broadway musical.
Before the winners in the R&B field were called by Jimmy Jam, Muni Long graced the stage to perform her hit “Made For Me.” The Grammy-winning singer was the most nominated artist in the R&B field this year with four nods, including for Best R&B Album (Revenge).
