Charli XCX, Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan Performing at the 2025 Grammys

Brat summer, brat fall — now it’s time for a brat Grammys. Charli XCX comes into the night as one of the top nominees for her sixth album, and now, she’s also set to perform. In fact, the Academy booked all three members of pop’s new “holy trinity,” with Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan also taking the stage. Good, because this was starting to look like déjà vu, with Trevor Noah hosting yet again and Beyoncé up for another Album of the Year. Is this finally going to be the year that Beyoncé wins the top prize? Will Noah’s monologue be as “Pope-ular” as Nikki Glaser’s Golden Globes jokes? It won’t be long until we find out. What to know about tuning in, including whether the show has been affected by the wildfires in Los Angeles and when and where to watch.

Who is performing?

The Academy booked six of the eight Best New Artist nominees to perform, including Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Benson Boone, Doechii, Raye, and Teddy Swims. They join Charli, who’s also never performed at Music’s Biggest Night. But it’s not all new blood: Grammy darling Billie Eilish will also perform, of course, and so will Best Latin Pop Album nominee Shakira. 

Who is hosting?

Trevor Noah might not be behind the desk at The Daily Show anymore, but he’s got a yearly show to look forward to. For the fifth time in a row, the comedian has been hired to host the Grammys. And the 2025 awards ceremony could turn out to be a pretty busy night for him: Noah is also serving as a producer for the show and could potentially need to get up and give an acceptance speech as one of this year’s nominees. (He’s up for Best Comedy Album.)

How can I watch the 2025 Grammys?

The Grammys are set to air on CBS on February 2 from 8 to 11:30 p.m. ET, live out of the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The ceremony will also stream live and on demand for Paramount+ with Showtime users. (Sorry, but if you’re a Paramount+ Essential subscriber, you’ll have to wait until the next day to stream it on demand.) 

Will there still be a red carpet?

Yup! The Associated Press is reportedly planning to stream a three-hour red carpet show, featuring interviews and fashion footage, on both YouTube and APNews.com.

Have the wildfires affected the 2025 Grammys?

Although other awards ceremonies have been postponed or even canceled due to the Los Angeles wildfires, the date for the 2025 Grammys has so far not changed. But the Grammys did note in a statement that this year’s broadcast will focus attention on raising money to “support wildfire relief efforts and honoring the bravery and dedication of first responders who risk their lives to protect ours.” Several Grammys events and parties have been canceled to redirect funds to fire relief. The Recording Academy and MusiCares previously also launched the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort to support music professionals who have been impacted by the crisis, and kicked off donations with a $1 million pledge.
