Comedian Trevor Noah is hosting the event, which is being televised and streamed live from the Sin City venue.

Music’s biggest night recognizes the best recordings, compositions, and artists of the eligibility year, which runs from September 1, 2020, to September 30, 2021. 

This year, composer and musical artist Jon Batiste surpassed all nominees with an impressive 11 nominations, while Justin Bieber, Doja Cat and H.E.R. have eight each and Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo tied with seven.

Former enemies Taylor Swift and Kanye West are up against each other in one of the biggest categories for Album of the Year, with their respective records Evermore and Donda.

Reunited Swedish pop group ABBA have their first-ever Grammy nomination in their 48-year history for ‘I Still Have Faith In You’ in the Record of the Year category. 

American musician Jon Batiste is the most nominated artist for his album We Are.

Batiste, 35, is a veteran jazz keyboardist and also the musical director of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.

Both Lil Nas X and Brandi Carlile have an impressive five nominations each, while Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak’s group Silk Sonic received four. 

The Recording Academy has eliminated nominations review committees this year meaning winners will now be determined by a majority vote from Recording Academy voting members.

There are famously a long list of categories – 88 to be exact.

Two new categories have been included this year: Best Global Music Performance (Global Music Field) and Best Música Urbana Album (Latin Music Field).

The Grammys were initially set to take place on Jan. 31 in Los Angeles, but got pushed due to the rapid spread of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus.

‘Given the uncertainty surrounding the Omicron variant, holding the show on January 31 simply contains too many risks,’ CBS and the Recording Academy said.  

Harvey Mason Jr., CEO of the Recording Academy, confirmed later in January that it would be moving to Las Vegas.

Legacy: Chris Cornell’s widow Vicky Cornell with their children Toni, 17, and Christopher, 16; the Soundgarden and Audioslave frontman died by suicide in Marcy 2017 at age 52

Family first: Wolfgang Van Halen, who is the son of the late Eddie Van Halen, posed with his mom Valerie Bertinelli and his girlfriend Andraia Allsop

‘We are excited to take the GRAMMYs to Las Vegas for the very first time, and to put on a world-class show,’ he said.

‘From the moment we announced the postponement of the original show date, we have been inundated with heartfelt messages of support and solidarity from the artist community.’

‘We are humbled by their generosity and grateful for their unwavering commitment to the GRAMMY Awards and the Academy’s mission.’
