The award show season has officially begun, and those who are passionate about music are getting ready for the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, which are up next on the calendar. Before the Recording Academy gives out awards for the year’s musical achievements,
the glitzy night is always full with top musicians and talent from the business showing off their best looks on the red carpet.
Beyoncé currently holds the lead among all of the competitors with her nine nominations. The recording artist’s seventh studio album, titled Renaissance, debuted atop the US Billboard 200 list at position number one and has since been awarded the platinum certification.
The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, NPR, Pitchfork, and Rolling Stone all voted Renaissance the best album of 2022 in their respective publications. Because Renaissance is only the first part of a larger project that will be released in three parts, the Beyhive has a lot of exciting things to look forward to in the years to come.
Other prominent musicians competing for Grammys this year include Kendrick Lamar, who has been nominated for an astounding eight awards, Adele, Brandi Carlile, and each of them has been nominated for seven awards.
Here is everything that we know about the Grammy Awards in 2023, including who will host, who will perform, and how you can watch from the comfort of your own home.

Who is hosting the 2023 Grammys?
It will be the third year in a row that comedian Trevor Noah will preside over the show as its host (LL Cool J is the only other person to host the Grammys three consecutive times in the last 30 years).
The TV personality and comedian is fresh off his seven-season hosting stint on The Daily Show, and he is presently in the midst of a stand-up tour that will take him to 28 cities across North America. Noah has hosted the event for the two years prior to this one, so he is familiar with all of the requirements.
According to Noah, who was interviewed by Billboard, a good host is someone who keeps the show moving in the correct way, makes sure that they bring the audience into what’s happening, engages and entertains everybody who’s in the room, and truly turns it into a party.
“Everyone intends to have a nice time while they are there. It is an awards show, but at the same time, it is also one of the best concerts that you will ever have the chance to attend.”
