Swift defeated tough competition in the likes of SZA’s SOS, Boygenius’ The Record, and Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts to win album of the year, and she found a special way to thank her fans.

“I want to say thank you to the fans by telling you a secret that I have been keeping from you for the last two years, which is that my brand-new album comes out April 19. It’s called The Tortured Poets Department. I’m going to go and post the cover right now backstage,” said Swift.

Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” was crowned record of the year, beating Swift’s “Anti-Hero”, SZA’s “Kill Bill”, and Olivia Rodrigo’s “Vampire”. This song failed to repeat its success in the song of the year field, where Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” came out victorious. It was also a big night for Victoria Monét, who collected the best new artist award.

Phoebe Bridgers was the ceremony’s top winner with four accolades, including three with Boygenius. SZA, Victoria Monét, and Killer Mike also walked away with three trophies.

The 2024 Grammy Awards took place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 4, with Trevor Noah hosting the show.

The post 2024 Grammy Awards: Taylor Swift Makes History With “Midnights” & Teases New Album appeared first on OMG Check It Out !.

Eilish already has seven Grammys under her belt, and she received an additional six nominations at this year’s ceremony. “What Was I Made For?” from Barbie earned her five nods alone, including song and record of the year.

The three-time Grammy winner Dua Lipa also owes her most recent two Grammy nods to the Barbie movie. She’s in the running for song of the year and best song written for visual media with her disco-inspired bop “Dance the Night”.

The fellow three-time Grammy winner Olivia Rodrigo is coming into this year’s Grammy Awards as one of the main contenders, with an impressive six nods. She scored nominations for album of the year with Guts, plus song and record of the year with its lead single “Vampire”.

The 2024 Grammy Awards are set to take place on February 4, and the rest of the performers will be announced in the coming weeks. SZA will enter the ceremony as the front-runner with nine nominations, followed by Victoria Monét, Phoebe Bridgers, and Serban Ghenea with seven each.

The post 2024 Grammys Awards: Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, & Olivia Rodrigo Among Performers appeared first on OMG Check It Out !.

Noah’s run as a Grammy host kicked off in 2021 when he took over from the two-time host Alicia Keys, and he’s been serving as the master of the ceremonies ever since. He’s getting ready to do it for the fourth consecutive time, and he shared the amazing news on his podcast What Now? with Trevor Noah.

Noah told his fans that he’s excited to host the Grammy Awards again because this gig has always been “a lot of fun”. He added that he enjoys hosting the ceremony because he gets to watch the show in person and comment on it in real-time.

Noah launched his podcast What Now? with Trevor Noah back in November, and it’s his first major project following his shocking The Daily Show departure earlier this year.

The South African comedian will return as a host when the Grammy Awards come back to the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 4, 2024. SZA is the most-nominated artist this year with nine nods, closely followed by Phoebe Bridgers, Serban Ghenea, and Victoria Monét with seven nominations each.

SZA scored nominations in most of the main fields, including album of the year with SOS and record and song of the year with its breakout single “Kill Bill”. She’s also been nominated for best pop duo/group performance and multiple R&B categories, including best R&B performance and best progressive R&B album.

SZA will have to beat tough competition to take the trophy for album of the year home since the list of contenders in this category also includes Taylor Swift’s Midnights, Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts, Janelle Monáe’s The Age of Pleasure, Miley Cyrus’ Endless Summer Vacation, Lana Del Rey’s Ocean Blvd, Boygenius’s The Record, and Jon Batiste’s World Music Radio.

The post 2024 Grammy Awards: SZA Leads the Way With Nine Nominations appeared first on OMG Check It Out !.

Beyoncé was the most-nominated artist at this year’s Grammys with nine nods, and she eventually walked away with four awards: best dance/electronic recording (“Break My Soul”), best dance/electronic album (Renaissance), best traditional R&B performance (“Plastic Off the Sofa”) and best R&B song (“Cuff It”).

Harry Styles had to beat tough competition, including Adele, Bad Bunny, and Lizzo, to win the album of the year with Harry’s House. Lizzo missed out on this award, but still had a reason to celebrate after winning record of the year with “About Damn Time”.

Bonnie Raitt delivered one of the night’s most shocking moments when she won song of the year with “Just Like That”. Another surprise came in the best new artist category, with the jazz singer Samara Joy defeating Måneskin, Anitta, and Latto to win this award.

The 65th Annual Grammy Awards were held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 5, with Trevor Noah hosting the festivities for the third time.

Multiple outlets confirm that Lady Gaga will perform at the 2019 Grammys. The 6-time Grammy winner will take the stage this Sunday during the music industry’s biggest night. The news were confirmed by the Recording Academy Wednesday. 

Gaga, who has performed during every Grammys ceremony since 2015, is nominated for five awards this year, including Song of the Year and Record of the Year. While The Academy’s announcement did not reveal what Gaga will sing, it’s very likely she will sing the Oscar-nominated “Shallow” from A Star is Born. The moving duet, sung opposite co-star Bradley Cooper is nominated for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, and Best Song Written for Visual Media.

Lady Gaga joins this year’s previously announced lineup including Travis Scott, Chloe x Halle, Fantasia, Andra Day, Dua Lipa, St. Vincent, Cardi B, Camila Cabello, Post Malone, Kacey Musgraves, Janelle Monáe, Dan +Shay, Diana Ross, Katy Perry, Maren Morris and Little Big Town.

Swift defeated tough competition in the likes of SZA’s SOS, Boygenius’ The Record, and Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts to win album of the year, and she found a special way to thank her fans.

“I want to say thank you to the fans by telling you a secret that I have been keeping from you for the last two years, which is that my brand-new album comes out April 19. It’s called The Tortured Poets Department. I’m going to go and post the cover right now backstage,” said Swift.

Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” was crowned record of the year, beating Swift’s “Anti-Hero”, SZA’s “Kill Bill”, and Olivia Rodrigo’s “Vampire”. This song failed to repeat its success in the song of the year field, where Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” came out victorious. It was also a big night for Victoria Monét, who collected the best new artist award.

Phoebe Bridgers was the ceremony’s top winner with four accolades, including three with Boygenius. SZA, Victoria Monét, and Killer Mike also walked away with three trophies.

The 2024 Grammy Awards took place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 4, with Trevor Noah hosting the show.

Noah’s run as a Grammy host kicked off in 2021 when he took over from the two-time host Alicia Keys, and he’s been serving as the master of the ceremonies ever since. He’s getting ready to do it for the fourth consecutive time, and he shared the amazing news on his podcast What Now? with Trevor Noah.

Noah told his fans that he’s excited to host the Grammy Awards again because this gig has always been “a lot of fun”. He added that he enjoys hosting the ceremony because he gets to watch the show in person and comment on it in real-time.

Noah launched his podcast What Now? with Trevor Noah back in November, and it’s his first major project following his shocking The Daily Show departure earlier this year.

The South African comedian will return as a host when the Grammy Awards come back to the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 4, 2024. SZA is the most-nominated artist this year with nine nods, closely followed by Phoebe Bridgers, Serban Ghenea, and Victoria Monét with seven nominations each.

SZA scored nominations in most of the main fields, including album of the year with SOS and record and song of the year with its breakout single “Kill Bill”. She’s also been nominated for best pop duo/group performance and multiple R&B categories, including best R&B performance and best progressive R&B album.

SZA will have to beat tough competition to take the trophy for album of the year home since the list of contenders in this category also includes Taylor Swift’s Midnights, Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts, Janelle Monáe’s The Age of Pleasure, Miley Cyrus’ Endless Summer Vacation, Lana Del Rey’s Ocean Blvd, Boygenius’s The Record, and Jon Batiste’s World Music Radio.

Victoria Monét, Phoebe Bridgers, and audio mixer Serban Ghenea, who collaborated with Rodrigo, Swift, and Batiste this past year, all scored seven nominations. The list of contenders with six nods includes Jack Antonoff, Jon Batiste, Brandy Clark, Boygenius, Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, and Taylor Swift, who broke the Grammy record for most song of the year nominations with her seventh nod for “Anti-Hero”.

The 66th Annual Grammy Awards will return to Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 4, 2024, and the host is yet to be announced.

The post 2024 Grammy Awards: SZA Leads the Way With Nine Nominations appeared first on OMG Check It Out !.

Beyoncé was the most-nominated artist at this year’s Grammys with nine nods, and she eventually walked away with four awards: best dance/electronic recording (“Break My Soul”), best dance/electronic album (Renaissance), best traditional R&B performance (“Plastic Off the Sofa”) and best R&B song (“Cuff It”).

Harry Styles had to beat tough competition, including Adele, Bad Bunny, and Lizzo, to win the album of the year with Harry’s House. Lizzo missed out on this award, but still had a reason to celebrate after winning record of the year with “About Damn Time”.

Bonnie Raitt delivered one of the night’s most shocking moments when she won song of the year with “Just Like That”. Another surprise came in the best new artist category, with the jazz singer Samara Joy defeating Måneskin, Anitta, and Latto to win this award.

The 65th Annual Grammy Awards were held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 5, with Trevor Noah hosting the festivities for the third time.
