Everything to know about the 2021 Grammy Awards
The wait has been longer than usual, but it's almost over: Music's biggest night finally arrives on Sunday, as the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards honor the best music of the past year.
The Daily Show's Trevor Noah will host the ceremony, which was pushed back from its usual January date due to concerns over COVID-19. Though usually held at the Staples Center, this year's festivities will take place at the Los Angeles Convention Center. It's unclear as to exactly what the show will look like, but the Recording Academy promises COVID safety precautions will be maintained. Jack Sussman, CBS' executive VP of specials, music, and live events, told Variety that the cameras will follow the action from live performance spaces created inside the L.A. Convention Center to an outdoor open-air tent in the plaza of L.A. Live. However, some performances will be pre-taped.
The Grammys will air live on CBS at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on Sunday. You can tune in via good ol' terrestrial TV, of course, but if you've cut the cord, here's your guide to all the options for watching the show, plus a bit about what to expect from the ceremony.
