The 65th GRAMMY Awards will air live from Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena on Sunday, Feb. 5. The broadcast will air on the CBS Television Network and stream live and on-demand on Paramount+. Official broadcast times, hosts, presenters and performers will be announced by the organizers.

This year’s nominations highlight a broad range of artists across genres. Kelly Clarkson—American Idol winner, The Voice coach and daytime talk-show host—is nominated in the Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album category for When Christmas Comes Around. Former One Direction member Harry Styles leads the nominations with six nods for Harry’s House and the single “As It Was,” including Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Album of the Year.

Several notable country artists were mentioned by fans and industry observers. Carrie Underwood’s June release Denim & Rhinestones did not receive country nominations, and Scotty McCreery—despite multiple country No. 1 hits—was not nominated by the Recording Academy this year. Morgan Wallen was submitted in several country categories for “Wasted on You,” but he did not appear among the final Grammy nominees.
