On Sunday, March 14, 2021, the titans of music and the entertainment industry will arrive at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, CA, for “Music’s Biggest Night” of the year at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, which was rescheduled from January due to Covid-19 concerns
A surge in coronavirus cases in Los Angeles in January led the Recording Academy and CBS to reschedule the awards ceremony “after thoughtful conversations with health experts.”
The Grammy nominations were chocked full of surprises this year, including Beyonce leading the nomination count despite not releasing a new album. Major snubs for top-selling artists The Weeknd and Luke Combs also raised eyebrows.
Nominations were influenced by racial unrest, particularly the death of George Floyd, over the past year.
“I think it’s meaningful. I think it’s reflective of what’s gone on in our world,” Harvey Mason Jr., the Recording’s interim president and CEO, told the Associated Press. “Musicians and artists and writers and producers, they write about what’s going on in their lives.
