LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) – The 62nd annual Grammy Awards are just hours away. Music’s biggest night is set to light up Los Angeles’ Staples Center with Lizzo; Billie Eilish; Demi Lovato; the Jonas Brothers; Tyler, the Creator; Bonnie Raitt; and Camila Cabello set to perform.
Ariana Grande will also be making her return to the Grammys after deciding against performing at last year’s ceremony following a public spat with producer Ken Ehrlich. Also scheduled for the evening are group performances by Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani and Aerosmith and Run-DMC, as well as Lil Nas X with BTS, Diplo, Billy Ray Cyrus and Mason Ramsey.
