Nominated for three awards, including Song of the Year, Jay Z will take the stage to perform ‘God Did’ along with DJ Khaled, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, John Legend and Fridayy, at the Grammy Awards on Sunday (2.05.)
In addition to the featured rappers, Harry Styles, Bad Bunny, Mary J. Blige, Brandi Carlile, Luke Combs, Steve Lacy, Lizzo and Sam Smith with Kim Petras have all signed on to perform during music’s biggest night.
In tribute to those we lost last year, Kacey Musgraves will pay homage to the late Loretta Lynn with ‘Coal Miner’s Daughter’; Sheryl Crow, Mick Fleetwood and Bonnie Raitt will perform ‘Songbird’ in memory of Christine McVie and Maverick City Music and Quavo will perform ‘Without You’ as a tribute to late rapper Takeoff.
Excited to return as this year’s music awards show host, Trevor Noah stated “I still think there is a magic in award shows that we can often take for granted because of how ubiquitous media has become. I don’t take it for granted – it’s a room of amazing people who are doing phenomenal things, and you can see in their eyes how much this means to people who maybe have dreamed of it for their entire lives.”
The show’s Executive producer Ben Winston added “There’s a couple of things. I’d like to get some of the performances introduced by people that matter to the person – I think it’s really lovely when person goes onstage, and they thank some people for winning that Grammy. And I always wonder about that person, and what does that person think about the success that their friend or their colleague or their old student or sibling has had. I think we can learn a little bit more about that performer from the people that are closest to them. And I think we’re going to feature some fans and talk about why music matters to them and why they love the albums they love and the artists they love as we build toward Album of the Year.”
