Here Are All the Performers and Presenters at the 2025 Grammy Awards
The 67th annual Grammy Awards are here at last. A few weeks ago, the thought of an awards show in Los Angeles, where entire neighborhoods went up in flames, seemed unthinkable. But the Recording Academy withstood considerable pressure to postpone or even cancel the show in light of this month’s devastating wildfires, so here we are.
Live from Crypto.com Arena in L.A. and hosted by Trevor Noah, Music’s Biggest Night will be broadcast live on Sunday (Feb. 2) at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBS. The show will also be available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+.

This year’s show will put a spotlight on new artists. Seven of this year’s best new artist nominees – Benson Boone, Chappell Roan, Doechii, Raye, Sabrina Carpenter, Shaboozey and Teddy Swims – are set to perform. (The eighth best new artist nominee, Khruangbin, has not been announced as performers.)
Other performers on the telecast include Billie Eilish (who won best new artist five years ago), Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars, Charli XCX and Shakira. Gaga & Mars, who were announced as performers on the academy’s social media channels on Friday, will perform “a special tribute to the city of Los Angeles and those affected by the wildfires.”
Among the top nominees not yet announced as performers are: Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar and Taylor Swift (with or without Post Malone). Beyoncé, who led this year’s nominations with 11 nods, last performed on the Grammys in 2017. Swift, who received six nods, last performed on the show in 2021. A promo for the show which aired on CBS confirmed that they will be in attendance at the show, but not that they will perform.
Lamar, who has seven nods, last performed on the Grammy telecast in 2018, when he opened the show in tandem with U2 and comedian Dave Chappelle. A Grammy performance this year is unlikely: Lamar is set to headline the Super Bowl halftime show on Feb. 9.
This year’s telecast will carry an added sense of purpose: raising funds to support L.A. wildfire relief efforts and honoring the bravery and dedication of first responders. A series of special performances will highlight the show, including a salute to the life and legacy of Grammy legend Quincy Jones, tributes to the spirit of Los Angeles, and the annual In Memoriam segment.
Swift, who won album of the year at the 2024 Grammy Awards, and Victoria Monét, who won best new artist on that show, are set to present on this year’s show. Other presenters, announced Friday, are Anthony Kiedis & Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Cardi B, Gloria Estefan, Olivia Rodrigo, Queen Latifah, SZA and Will Smith.
Smith will introduce the salute to Jones. Jones was executive producer of the hit sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air which ran from 1990-96 on NBC and propelled Smith to stardom.
Jones, who died in November at age 91, won 28 Grammys across six different decades, from the 1960s to the 2010s. He was a friend and mentor to generations of talented artists, including Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder, John Legend and Jacob Collier, all of whom are set to appear on the show.
This is the fifth consecutive year that Noah has hosted the show. He will become the first comedian to host the Grammys five times. He’s also a Grammy nominee for best comedy album for Where Was I. If he wins, he’ll become just the second Grammy host to win on a night that he or she hosted. Kenny Rogers was the first, in 1980.
The 67th Annual Grammy Awards will be produced by Fulwell 73 Productions for the Recording Academy for the fourth consecutive year. Ben Winston, Raj Kapoor and Jesse Collins are executive producers.
This year’s premiere ceremony, where the vast majority of Grammys are presented, will stream live at 3:30 p.m. ET/12:30 p.m. PT on the Recording Academy’s YouTube channel and on the Grammy website. The show will be held at Peacock Theater in the LA Live complex in Los Angeles (which also encompasses Crypto.com Arena). Justin Tranter, a Grammy nominee for song of the year for co-writing Chappell Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe,” is set to host the premiere ceremony for the second year in a row.
