Awards season rolls on, and next in line is the 68th Grammy Awards. The music industry’s biggest night is set to take over Los Angeles today — and yes, Australians can tune in live today.
The ceremony will be broadcasting live from LA, with Trevor Noah back as host for the sixth consecutive year. As always, the night will celebrate the most influential music of the year, pairing headline wins with a performance line up designed to keep viewers glued to their screens.
Kendrick Lamar enters the evening as the clear frontrunner, leading all artists with nine nominations. His late-2024 release GNX is up for album of the year alongside projects from Bad Bunny, Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, Clipse, Lady Gaga, Leon Thomas and Tyler, The Creator, setting up one of the category’s most competitive line-ups in recent memory.
Lady Gaga follows closely with seven nominations, surpassing her own 2010 record and tying for the second-most nods overall. Her nominations span album, record and song of the year, as well as multiple pop and dance categories, reinforcing her enduring dominance across genres.
While the trophies matter, the Grammys’ true draw is always the live performances.
This year’s line up does not disappoint, with major moments expected from Justin Bieber, who is making a rare return to the stage, alongside Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter and Rosé, each performing songs that defined their year.
Like previous years, Australians won’t miss out, though the broadcast does fall during the Monday morning workday. Consider this your final warning to schedule a sick day or work-from-home setup so you don’t miss a minute.
