This year’s ceremony will feature some of the biggest names in music, including Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, and Taylor Swift, all competing for top honors.
In addition to the awards, the event will also raise funds to support music professionals affected by the Los Angeles wildfires, making this year’s Grammys not just a celebration of music but also a night of giving back.
Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch music’s biggest night on Sunday, February 2.

There will also be a special tribute to Quincy Jones, honoring his incredible contributions to music. Another performance will pay tribute to the city of Los Angeles, recognizing the impact of the devastating wildfires.
Who is Nominated?
One of the biggest questions of the night is whether Beyoncé will finally take home the Album of the Year (AOTY) award for her genre-blending album, “Cowboy Carter.”

She faces tough competition, as the AOTY category is stacked with nominees, including: Taylor Swift (The Tortured Poet’s Department), Billie Eilish, Charli XCX, Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, André 3000, and Jacob Collier.
Swift, who won Album of the Year last year for Midnights, is hoping for back-to-back victories.
Beyoncé leads the night with 11 nominations, adding to her record-breaking tally. Other top nominees include Kendrick Lamar, Charli XCX, and Billie Eilish, each with seven nominations.
The Best New Artist category is also highly competitive, featuring Chappell Roan, Shaboozey, Doechii, and Sabrina Carpenter as the top contenders.

How to Support Wildfire Relief Efforts
The 2025 Grammys will also serve as a platform to help music professionals affected by the Los Angeles wildfires. The Recording Academy and MusiCares have launched the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort, which aims to provide immediate and long-term support to those impacted.
Fans who wish to support the cause can donate to the fund, which has already received a $1 million pledge from the Recording Academy and MusiCares. According to the Grammys website, the fund will help individuals and families in the music industry facing displacement and loss due to the disaster.
