THE 63rd annual Grammy Awards will air on Sunday, March 14 at 8 pm ET.
The show will feature a lineup of singers who will be performing at the show but who is hosting the highly-anticipated event?
Who is hosting the Grammys?
The Daily Show’s Trevor Noah will be hosting the 63rd Grammy Awards.
The 37-year-old comedian hosts the satirical news show The Daily Show that airs on Comedy Central.
He is also the author of the best-selling book titled Born A Crime.
Trevor released a statement after he was announced the host of the show in November saying: “Despite the fact that I am extremely disappointed that the Grammys have refused to have me sing or be nominated for best pop album, I am thrilled to be hosting this auspicious event.
Adding: “I think as a one-time Grammy nominee, I am the best person to provide a shoulder to all the amazing artists who do not win on the night because I too know the pain of not winning the award! (This is a metaphorical shoulder, I’m not trying to catch corona).
“See you at the 63rd Grammys!,” he said.
What has Trevor Noah said about hosting?
Trevor spoke to The Associated Press ahead of the award show. He said the chance to host was the opportunity of a lifetime.
“If you get asked to host the Grammys, I don’t think you take long to say ‘yes,’” he said. “
“All you figure out is the how,” he continued.
The Emmy Award-winner said he wondered if the show would be held virtually at first but he will be at the show in person in Los Angeles.
“Unlike most award shows, the Grammys also are about the performances,” Trevor said.
The comedian said he is most looking forward to seeing Bruno Mars perform.
The host said he was “really excited for the night.”
Who’s performing at the Grammys?
Singers Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa, Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, Megan Thee Stallion Maren Morris and Cardi B are just a few who will be performing at the award’s show.
Beyoncé has the most nominations, nine. Swift, Dua Lipa and Roddy Ricch have six nominations each.
How can I watch the Grammys?
The Grammys will air live on CBS and the new streaming service Paramount+ at 8 pm ET.
Additionally, “fans will be given unprecedented digital access to GRAMMY Awards content with GRAMMY Live, which will stream internationally on GRAMMY.com and via Facebook Live, the exclusive streaming partner of GRAMMY Live,” organizers say.
“GRAMMY Live takes viewers behind the scenes with backstage experiences, pre-show interviews and post-show highlights from Music’s Biggest Night.

“IBM, the Official AI & Cloud Partner of the Recording Academy, will host GRAMMY Live for the first time entirely on the IBM Cloud.”
