Taylor Swift, Red Hot Chili Peppers Anthony Kiedis and Chad Smith, Cardi B, Gloria Estefan, Olivia Rodrigo, Queen Latifah, SZA, Victoria Monét and Will Smith will present awards at the Grammys Sunday (2/2).
Smith will introduce a salute to Quincy Jones, who died last year at the age of 91.
As for Tay, she hasn’t presented at the big show since 2008, when she handed Rihanna and Jay-Z the trophy for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for "Umbrella."
This year’s ceremony will also present a tribute to the resilience of Los Angeles in the wake of this month’s wildfires. Since teaming with the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort to Support Music Professionals last week, the Recording Academy and MusiCares have raised and pledged more than $4m in emergency aid to industry personnel affected by the fires.
CBS will broadcast the Trevor Noah-hosted show, which will be available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+, live at 5pm PT.
We're told the Recording Academy will have extra help on hand to keep HITS' mitts from getting anywhere near the craft services table.
