To the excitement of Adele fans and the umbrage of The Weeknd, it’s finally Grammys season again. We’ve said our piece as a staff, but at the end of the day, it’s obviously not up to us. Rather, it’s the nebulous community known as “Grammy voters” that decides. From spoken-word poetry to music videos to the ever-looming Album Of The Year category, there’s a lot of ground to be traversed at the awards this year—and finally, the playing field is set.
The ceremony airs live from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles this Sunday, February 5 at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT. The Grammys air on CBS and can be streamed on Paramount+.
For better or for worse, here are your 2023 Grammy Nominees. It may be time for some first (or fifth) listens.
This post will be receiving live updates during Sunday’s ceremony.
