The first round of performers at the Grammy Awards is pretty top notch.
So far Benson Boone, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, Charli xcx, Doechii, RAYE, Sabrina Carpenter, Shakira, and Teddy Swims have all signed up for the February 2nd show on CBS.
There will be more announcements soon. But, of course, everyone’s waiting to see what Taylor Swift and Beyonce will do. Will they perform? Or just hang out in the audience?
Most desired: Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars singing their smash hit, “Die with a Smile.”
Last year’s Grammys were a big success because they focused on the older audience, and legacy stars. I’d love to see a tribute to R&B great Sam Moore, with younger stars singing Sam & Dave hits like “Soul Man” and “Hold On I’m Coming.” Aloe Blacc would be perfect!
The Grammys will be hosted by Trevor Noah, and there will be charitable component to raise money for wildfire relief. Many musicians have lost precious instruments and recordings in the fires. They will also be helped by Musicares, which will rake in funds on Friday night with the Musicares tribute to the Grateful Dead.
Stay tuned…
