It’s almost here! The 54th annual Grammy Awards is finally happening on February 12th, at 8 pm on the CBS network. The night is filled with lots of music, laughs, speeches, and celebrities, and is always a huge hit. The Grammy Awards are the music equivalent to the Emmy Awards for television, the Tony Award for stage and the Academy Awards for film, and is a very huge honor to won one.
LL Cool J is set to be the host for the night, along with many other presenters and performances. The first performer will be Nicki Minaj, whose also is her first time performing on the Grammy stage. Along with her, there will be performances by Rihanna, Bruno Mars, Kelly Clarkson, and Taylor Swift. There are more to be announced, but I’m hoping to see a performance by Drake, Katy Perry, and maybe even Justin Timberlake. Who are you hoping to perform?
There are 78 Grammy awards being given out including “Record of the Year”, “Best Rap/Sung Collaboration”, “Best Musical Theatre Album”, “Best Comedy Album”, and “Best Remixed Recording”. The most prestigious award for the night is “Album of the Year”, whose nominees are “21”-Adele, “Wasting Light”-Foo Fighters, “Born This Way”- Lady Gaga, “Doo-Wops & Hooligans”- Bruno Mars, and “Loud” by Rihanna. So make sure you tune into the CBS channel to see who will win.
