The 2025 Grammy Awards air tonight, honoring the year’s biggest artists and chart-topping hits. With performances from Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, Cynthia Erivo, Billie Eilish, and more, here’s how to watch the star-studded ceremony live — on cable, streaming, and for free.
A few weeks ago, the Recording Academy confirmed that the 67th Annual Grammy Awards will proceed as scheduled despite the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. CEO Harvey Mason Jr. assured members that this year’s event “will carry a renewed sense of purpose,” as it aims to raise funds to support wildfire relief efforts and honor the bravery of first responders.
Held again at the Crypto.com Arena in L.A., the awards show will see Trevor Noah return as host for the fifth consecutive year. Beyoncé leads this year’s nominations with 11, followed by Kendrick Lamar, Charli XCX, Billie Eilish, and Post Malone, earning seven nods. Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, and Chappell Roan follow closely with six nominations each. (See the full list of nominations here.)
While Swift is not slated to perform, the 14-time Grammy winner will be presenting an award tonight. Other presenters include Cardi B, Gloria Estefan, Olivia Rodrigo, Queen Latifah, SZA, Victoria Monét, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Anthony Kiedis and Chad Smith.
The show will also highlight breakout talent, with six of this year’s Best New Artist nominees – Benson Boone, Chappell Roan, Doechii, Raye, Sabrina Carpenter, and Teddy Swims — set to take the stage. Other performers throughout the night include John Legend, Sheryl Crow, Janelle Monáe, Teddy Swims, and more.
