The 56th Annual Grammy Awards air tonight on CBS and will celebrate the year’s biggest honors in the music industry. The biggest names in the industry are nominated for tonight’s awards and, while we definitely have our favorites, it’s going to be difficult to root for only one nominee. Who are your favorites? Many people are predicting 17-year-old Lorde, who burst onto the music scene this past year with her unusual pop sound, to take home the award for both Record of the Year and Song of the Year. If she wins in either of these categories she’ll be the youngest individual to do so in the history of the awards show. No pressure.
“It would be super awesome to win a Grammy, I mean, it would probably be the craziest thing that will ever happen to me if it happens,” Lord told The Music. “But it definitely won’t cheapen or make less anything I’ve achieved.” Good luck, Lorde! Your songs definitely have intrigued the world and, given the fact that Taylor Swift isn’t nominated in those aformentioned cats alongside you, you might have a real shot at the gold!
While the administering of awards is sure to be exciting, many people watch the Grammys for its incredible line up of performers. Scheduled to perform tonight . . . . Beyonce and Jay Z, Bruno Mars, Hunter Hayes, Imagine Dragons, John Legend, Keith Urban, Katy Perry, Kendrick Lamar, Lorde, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Pink, Taylor Swift, Robin Thicke, Madonna, and many others! Make sure to stop by tonight for all the festivities and amazing collaborations featured on tonight’s show.
As always, we’ll be bringing you all the hot photos from the red carpet, as well as be providing you with an up-to-date list of winners over the course of tonight’s show. Stop by later tonight for all your essential 2014 Grammy coverage! The fun begins 8 PM EST on CBS, with Red Carpet action occurring in the hours before (check local listings for accurate times).
