The first round of Grammy performers has been announced, including rising pop stars Sabrina Carpenter, Charli XCX, and Chappell Roan, all of whom are nominated at this year’s ceremony as per Variety.
Other nominees such as Benson Boone, Billie Eilish, Doechii, Raye, Shakira, and Teddy Swims will also take the stage at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena on Feb. 2.
Hosted by Trevor Noah, this year’s Grammy Awards will raise funds to support relief efforts for the devastating L.A. fires. Due to the fires, many traditional Grammy week events have been canceled, but the Recording Academy and MusiCares have pledged over $3.2 million in emergency aid to music professionals affected by the disasters. “The upcoming Grammy Awards won’t just be about celebrating and honoring the best in music this year. They will also show how the power of music can help rebuild, uplift and support those in need,” said Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. “We are thrilled that so many artists in our community are banding together at this time to show support for their fellow music makers and others impacted by the recent wildfires.”
Charli XCX, with her album and cultural phenomenon Brat, is nominated for eight awards at this year’s Grammys, including Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for “Guess” with Eilish. Carpenter and Roan are both first-time nominees, competing for six awards, including Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist.
Billie Eilish, a highly decorated artist, is up for seven Grammys this year, including Record, Album, and Song of the Year. Boone and Swims are also contenders for Best New Artist, along with Doechii, who is nominated for Rap Album and Rap Performance. Raye has two nominations for her work on Lucky Daye’s Algorithm. Meanwhile, three-time Grammy winner Shakira is in the running for Best Latin Pop Album.
The Grammy Awards will air live on Feb. 2 from 8 to 11:30 p.m. ET on CBS and will be available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+.
