As it happened: The 2023 Grammy Awards

Lizzo performs onstage.

Pop superstar Lizzo performed a medley that included her Grammy-nominated song “About Damn Time” and “Special,” from her Grammy-nominated album of the same name.

Lizzo is nominated in five categories total.

Host Trevor Noah said artists were still trickling in during the first hour of tonight’s telecast — pointing the blame at a familiar foe: Los Angeles traffic.

Noah referenced in an earlier bit that artists were still entering the building as a group of people passed him in the audience, also blaming the traffic.

Kim Petras and Sam Smith accept the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance award for “Unholy."

Sam Smith and Kim Petras have won the award for Best Duo or Group Performance for their song “Unholy.”

Petras, who is transgender, gave the acceptance speech on the duo’s behalf.

She thanked “all the transgender legends before me who kicked these doors open for me.” She also gave special thanks to her mother and Madonna.

“I don’t think I could be here without Madonna,” Petras said.

“A Beautiful Time” by Willie Nelson has won the award for Best Country Album.

The performer was not present to accept the award.

Beyoncé has won the Grammy for Best R&B Song for “CUFF IT” off her album “Renaissance.”

It brings her one step closer to officially becoming the artist with the most Grammy wins in history — she’s now tied with conductor Sir Georg Solti, who has won 31.

The award was presented by EGOT Viola Davis, who won her first Grammy earlier today.

Beyoncé did not accept the award in person. According to host Trevor Noah, she was still on her way to Crypto.com Arena.

Legend Nile Rodgers, who performed on the song, accepted the award on Beyoncé’s behalf. Rodgers expressed gratitude for being a part of the project. As a co-founder of the 1970s group Chic, he is considered one of the architects of the sound which “Renaissance” paid homage to.

Harry Styles accepts the Best Pop Vocal Album award for "Harry's House."

The award for Best Pop Vocal Album goes to Harry Styles for his project “Harry’s House.”

Adele hugs Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson on Sunday in Los Angeles.

Host Trevor Noah decided to introduce superstar singer Adele to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson during his opening bit.

Noah said that he made it a point to learn facts about the artists attending this year’s show, and noted that he learned Adele is a fan of Johnson’s but had never met him.

Noah then announced that “The Rock” was here and introduced the two.

Bad Bunny performs Sunday in Los Angeles.

Bad Bunny is the opening act for this year’s Grammys.

The Puerto Rican artist strutted to the stage with a colorful backdrop of performers.

He performed “El Apagón” and “Después de la Playa.” Both tracks are from his Spanish-language album, “Un Verano Sin Ti,” which has already made Grammys history.

The artist, who scored three nominations, earned the award show’s first album of the year nomination for a project completely in Spanish.

The telecast for the 2023 Grammy Awards is underway in Los Angeles at Crypto.com Arena (yes, formerly known as the Staples Center).

Host Trevor Noah returns for a third consecutive year.

Some of the awards have already been handed out pre-show. Check out our updating list of winners here.

Harry Styles.

Harry Styles eschewed formalwear in favor of a sparkling technicolor jumpsuit on the Grammys red carpet.

The outfit, by EgonLab, was adorned with Swarovski crystals and revealed a collection of butterfly and bird tattoos on his otherwise bare chest. The look divided social media, with comments ranging from “he can literally wear anything” to “looks like he forgot the jacket.”

Styles, who picked up six nominations, is one of fashion’s most daring dressers. In recent years, he has traded a once preppy style for more experimental and gender-fluid takes — including the Gucci jacket and dress he famously wore on the cover of American Vogue.

“You can never be overdressed. There’s no such thing,” he told the publication at the time, adding: “Now I’ll put on something that feels really flamboyant, and I don’t feel crazy wearing it. I think if you get something that you feel amazing in, it’s like a superhero outfit.”

At the 2021 Grammys, Styles wore not one, but three, feather boas as he made several outfit changes through the evening. Fashion-watchers will no doubt look forward to seeing what he’ll wear next, as he prepares to take the stage for a performance at tonight’s ceremony.

Styles is nominated for six Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year for his album “Harry’s House.”

Kim Petras, Sam Smith, Violet Chachki and Gottmik.

Fashion-watchers have come to expect risqué looks at the Grammys, and stars are already vying for “iconic” status with dramatic silhouettes and loud color choices.

“Unholy” duo Kim Petras and Sam Smith showed up in bold red ensembles, the latter completing his outfit with a matching top hat and cane.

Elsewhere, Lizzo made an early statement in a flowy, tangerine-colored cape by Dolce & Gabana and Shania Twain paired bright crimson locks with a polka-dotted two-piece by designer Harris Reed.

Lizzo.

Smokey Robinson was trying to break the internet last week with the announcement of his new album “Gasms.”

During an interview for “E!” with LaVerne Cox on the Grammys red carpet, the 82-year-old legend said he was trying to stir up some controversy. He did just that with the provocative album title, and songs like “I Wanna Know Your Body,” “I Fit In There” and “You Fill Me Up.”

“When you say ‘Gasms,” people think ‘orgasms,’ but ‘gasms’ can mean anything that makes you feel good,” the iconic singer said as he held his wife of more than 20 years, Frances Glandney.

Where there’s Smokey, there’s fire!

Taylor Swift.

Taylor Swift arrived to the red carpet in a midnight blue dress by Roberto Cavalli.

It’s a fitting look for the star’s latest album, “Midnights,” which was not nominated.

But that doesn’t mean Swift, a staple at the award show in recent years, isn’t going without recognition tonight. Her “All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (The Short Film)” is nominated for Song of the Year and “I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor’s Version) (From the Vault)” is nominated for Best Country Song.

Bad Bunny performs in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 2022.

Bad Bunny’s album “Un Verano Sin Ti” has made Grammys history before the award show even begins.

The artist, who has scored three nominations for the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, has become the first to score an album of the year nomination for a project completely in the Spanish language.

“Un Verano Sin Ti,” which translates to “A Summer Without You,” is also the first album to receive an album of the year nomination at both the Grammys and the Latin Grammys.

In addition to his album of the year nod, Bad Bunny scored nominations in the best pop solo performance and best música urbana album categories.

The Puerto Rican artist has previously been nominated for six Grammys and won two of them. Last year, he won for best música urbana album for “El Último Tour Del Mundo,” and in 2020, he won best latin pop or urban album for his second solo studio album, “YHLQMDLG.”

Two is the magic number for Beyoncé.

That’s the number of wins she needs to officially become the artists with the most Grammy wins in history. She currently has 30 wins (having already won two Grammys during the pre-show) and two more would have her surpassing conductor Sir Georg Solti, who has won 31.

Queen Bey has already done the damn thing when it comes to the Grammys.

With her previous 28 wins, she is the most-awarded female artist in Grammys history. And with her nine nominations this time around, Beyoncé tied her husband Jay-Z as the artist with the most career Grammy nominations.

The rapper had topped the list of all-time noms with 83, followed by Sir Paul McCartney with 81 and Quincy Jones with 80.

Jay-Z’s additional nominations this year brought him to 88, which his wife tied when she added nine nominations to her previous 79.

Adele and Beyoncé

It seems Grammys 2023 will look a lot like Grammys 2017, with another high-profile matchup between Adele and Beyoncé.

The pair is facing off again with their nominations in major categories: record of the year, song of the year and album of the year.

This time around, Beyoncé has nine noms and Adele has seven.

Of course, there are other artists nominated in those categories, but there is history when it comes to the self-proclaimed Bey super fan Adele and Beyoncé herself.

Adele swept the top honors in 2017 with five total awards, including album of the year for “25.”

Beyoncé won two, including best music video for “Formation” and best urban contemporary album for “Lemonade.”

It caused a major buzz among the Beyhive – as Beyoncé’s devoted fan base is known – and even complaints that racism may have influenced the voting.

Adele said in 2017 that she had voted for Beyoncé and paid homage to her during her album of the year acceptance speech.

The British singer called Beyoncé the “artist of my life” and her “Lemonade” album “just so monumental.”

It brought Bey, who was then pregnant with her twins, to tears.

Both women performed at the Grammys that year.

The music industry’s biggest names are arriving on the red carpet for the 65th annual Grammy Awards.

The nominations are filled with artists known for their sense of style, including Beyoncé, Doja Cat and Bad Bunny. And with presenters ranging from First Lady Jill Biden to Hollywood actor Viola Davis, fashion-watchers are expecting an array of looks on a night known for bold, eye-catching style.

See below for some of the best outfits so far, and check out our updating gallery of red carpet looks here.

The 65th Grammy Awards are being presented on Sunday.

While most of the major awards are announced in the televised ceremony at 8 p.m. ET, winners have already been publicly selected in a variety of categories.

The full list of nominees in more than 91 categories can be found here.

Here are artists who have won 2023 Grammys so far:

Yes, it’s confusing, so we won’t hold it against you if you don’t have a clue what the difference is between Grammy’s Song of the Year and Record of the Year categories.

But here’s some help, straight from the Grammy website:

Ozzy Osbourne’s album “Patient Number 9” has won the Grammy award for best rock album.

The win comes days after Osbourne announced the cancellation of his upcoming shows on tour. The 74-year-old last week said his touring career is over because “he is not physically capable (of it).”

Beyoncé and Jay-Z perform in 2018.

At least they are keeping it in the family.

Beyoncé has tied her husband Jay-Z as the artist with the most career Grammy nominations.

Before the latest round of noms, the rapper topped the all-time list with 83, followed by Sir Paul McCartney with 81, Quincy Jones with 80 and Beyoncé with 79.

Beyoncé has now added nine to her total, including album of the year for “Renaissance” and song of the year for “Break My Soul.”

Her project also helped her husband increase his total, as he snagged five additional nominations, including as one of the songwriters of “Break My Soul.”

The four-nomination difference was enough to pull the power couple neck-and-neck at 88 apiece.

With Bey’s eighth record of the year nomination, she broke a tie with the legendary Frank Sinatra, who notched seven noms in that category during his career.

Jay-Z will be competing against himself for song of the year, as he is also nominated in that category for the DJ Khaled single “God Did.”

Host Trevor Noah

Trevor Noah will return as master of ceremonies of the Grammy Awards for the third consecutive year, CBS announced.

Noah will also serve as a producer for the 65th annual event.

“I’m super excited to be hosting the #Grammys once again!” Noah posted on social media, sharing a Billboard magazine cover with him and the words “2023 Grammy Voter Guide.”

“Tune in Sunday, Feb 5th on @cbstv,” he added.

The Grammys will be broadcast live from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The show will air on CBS and stream live and on demand on Paramount+.

Noah recently ended his run as host of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” after seven years.

Viola Davis accepts her Grammy award on Sunday, February 5.

Decorated actress Viola Davis made history and earned the prestigious EGOT status Sunday by winning a Grammy for Best Audio Book Narration and Storytelling for her memoir “Finding Me.”

An artist achieves an EGOT when they win an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and a Tony Award in their career.

Davis said in her acceptance speech: “I wrote this book to honor the 6-year-old Viola. To honor her, her life, her joy, her trauma, everything. And, it has just been such a journey – I just EGOT!”

Davis won her first Tony Award in 2001 for her role in “King Hedley II” and won her first Oscar in 2017 for her role in “Fences.”

Davis received her first Emmy in 2015 for her lead role in “How to Get Away with Murder,” making her also the first Black woman to win lead actress in a drama.

Most recently, Jennifer Hudson achieved EGOT status in 2022.
