On Sunday, the 66th Annual Grammy Awards will be presented by prominent figures in the music industry at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles (Monday morning in India). SZA has the most nominations with nine. Boygenius and Victoria Monét are not far behind.
In 2024, will Taylor Swift take home the Grammy for Album of the Year? She would break the current tie with music icons Stevie Wonder, Frank Sinatra, and Paul Simon with her fourth win in this category, the most by any major artist ever. Nevertheless, Olivia Rodrigo is also a Grammy Award winner, having won three awards, including Best New Artist in 2022.
The 66th Annual Grammy Awards are evidence that female musicians are receiving the greatest recognition possible. The top categories at Grammys 2024 are unprecedentedly dominated by women, with only one male artist, Jon Batiste, up for record, album or song of the year.
Record of the Year, which honours the production and performance of a specific song, has the hits “Kill Bill” by SZA, “Anti-Hero” by Taylor Swift, and “What Was I Made For?” by Billie Eilish from Barbie. Rapper Ice Spice, country music performer Jelly Roll, pop and R&B vocalist Victoria Monet, singer-songwriter Coco Jones, and folk-pop artist Noah Kahan are among the competitors for best new artist.
Performers SZA, Billy Joel, Joni Mitchell, Dua Lipa, Luke Combs, and Burna Boy are scheduled to appear on the Grammys stage. U2 will take the stage live from Las Vegas’s Sphere. The Recording Academy’s roster of musicians, producers, engineers, and other professionals selected the 2024 Grammy Award winners. The group has worked to diversify its membership in recent years by inviting more women and people of colour to its ranks. Organizers also added a handful of new categories this year, including best African music performance.
