We all knew that Taylor Swift would be in the house for the 2025 Grammys, which are set for Sunday (Feb. 2), because she was named in a CBS promo for the show. But now we learn that she will have an official role on the show – as a presenter. Swift is the first presenter to be announced for the show. More are expected on Friday (Jan. 31).
Swift, of course, may also win one or more Grammys on the show, which is being held at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. She is nominated in six categories, including the top three awards – album, record and song of the year. She is vying to win album of the year for what would be a record-extending fifth time with her smash album The Tortured Poets Department, which topped the Billboard 200 for 17 nonconsecutive weeks.
Of the 14 previous years where Swift has been a Grammy nominee, she has headed home with at least one award exactly half the time. And in years where she has gone into the show with six or more nominations, as she has this year, she has never been shut out. In 2010, when she had eight nominations, she won four. In 2015, when she had seven nominations, she won three. In 2021, when she had six nominations, she won one. And last year, when she had six nominations, she won two. Here’s a mind-blowing fact: In all four of the previous years where she had six or more nods, she won album of the year.
Swift’s other nominations this year are record and song of the year and best music video for “Fortnight,” a collaboration with Post Malone; best pop vocal album for The Tortured Poets Department, and best pop duo/group performance for Gracie Abrams’ “us.,” on which she is featured.
Live from Crypto.com Arena in L.A. and hosted by Trevor Noah, the 67th annual Grammy Awards 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 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.
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.
