Will Adele proceed her winning streak? Will Abba triumph their archetypal Grammy? Will Beyoncé beryllium snubbed again?

All these questions beryllium answered erstwhile the 65th Grammy Awards instrumentality spot successful Los Angeles connected Sunday.

Beyoncé leads the nominations, with 9 successful total, followed by Kendrick Lamar with eight, and Adele and Brandi Carlile, who person 7 each.

This year, determination are a staggering 91 categories, from champion caller age, ambient oregon chant medium - outcry retired to Cheryl B. Engelhardt - to the night's biggest prize, medium of the year.

There'll besides beryllium performances from immoderate of music's biggest names, and bittersweet tributes to the stars we've lost.

Here's what you request to cognize up of the event.

First of all, banal up connected snacks.

The archetypal awards are handed retired successful what's called the "premiere ceremony" astatine 20:30 GMT connected Sunday (12:30 successful Los Angeles). Proceedings past proceed for 8 mind-numbing hours, until the medium of the twelvemonth trophy is yet presented astir 04:30 GMT.

The main show, which starts astatine 01:00 GMT, volition beryllium broadcast unrecorded successful America connected CBS, with streams connected Paramount Plus and the website live.grammy.com.

Paramount Plus is disposable implicit here, but has yet to corroborate whether the Grammys volition beryllium streamed arsenic portion of its package.

Beyoncé is already the most-awarded pistillate successful the past of the Grammys, with 28 victories. This year, she received different 9 nominations, tying her with her hubby Jay-Z for the astir nods collected by immoderate artist, with 88.

On the night, she needs conscionable 4 wins to bushed the grounds for the astir wide wins, a presumption presently held by the conductor Georg Solti, who died successful 1997.

Her meticulously-researched homage to achromatic and queer creation music, Renaissance, is simply a front-runner for medium of the year, but fans cognize not to get their hopes up.

Despite her awesome haul of trophies, each but 1 of Beyoncé's erstwhile awards person travel successful genre categories similar R&B and psyche - feeding a cognition that the Grammys fails to recognise Black artists with its apical awards.

That could alteration this year, aft astir 2,000 caller members joined the voting organisation, 44% of whom travel "from traditionally underrepresented communities," according to the Recording Academy.

DJ Khaled is 1 of the astir fascinating figures successful hip-hop.

A erstwhile vigor DJ, he's go a benignant of philharmonic Nick Fury, assembling an all-star formed of super-powered beatmakers and rappers to collaborate connected songs that are, ultimately, released nether his name.

The grade of his input is unclear - but helium does popular up connected astir of his hits, shouting "we the best" oregon "another one" done a megaphone, portion acts similar Drake, Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion bash the dense lifting.

He explained his originative doctrine successful an interview successful The Fader successful 2013: "If you can't find it, you gotta spell marque it. If you can't marque it, you gotta spell find it."

That hustle has earned him 4 fig 1 albums successful the US, the latest of which, God Did, is up for champion rap album.

The Grammys ever support a fewer surprises up their sleeves, but these are the artists presently scheduled to execute connected Sunday.

Taylor Swift is 1 of lone 3 artists to triumph medium of the twelvemonth 3 times; but her latest record, Midnights, came retired excessively precocious to beryllium eligible for this year's ceremony.

However, Swift inactive managed to prime up 4 nominations, including opus of the twelvemonth for the expanded, re-recorded mentation of All Too Well.

She's ne'er won that prize before, contempt six nominations. Could this beryllium her year?

From Coolio to Olivia Newton-John, we've said goodbye to an upsetting fig of musicians successful the past 12 months, and the Grammys volition people the nonaccomplishment with an emotionally-charged successful memoriam section.

British songwriter Christine McVie volition beryllium honoured by Sheryl Crow, Bonnie Raitt and her bandmate Mick Fleetwood, with a rendition of her classical ballad, Songbird.

And Migos rapper Quavo volition articulation the Maverick City Music choir to "remember the beingness and legacy" of his nephew, Takeoff, who was shot and killed successful October astatine the property of 28.

After spending 13 weeks astatine the apical of the US Billboard charts past summer, Bad Bunny's Un Verano Sin Ti has go the archetypal Spanish-language grounds to beryllium nominated for medium of the twelvemonth astatine the Grammys.

It's an accomplishment that caps his astir mythological emergence from a market bagger successful the tiny Puerto Rican municipality of Vega Baja to a planetary superstar, and a torchbearer for Latin popular and música urbana.

Clocking successful astatine 23 tracks, Un Verano Sin Ti is simply a grounds of 2 halves, divided evenly betwixt sun-kissed enactment anthems and much experimental, governmental tracks that research sex unit and the gentrification of Puerto Rico.

He's not the lone Latin creator to bask successful the Grammy spotlight, with Brazilian vocalist Anitta considered a front-runner for champion newcomer.

Confusingly, her information comes astir a decennary into her career, but recognises the crossover occurrence of her latest album, Versions of Me, which became the archetypal Brazilian popular medium to deed 1 cardinal streams connected Spotify.

Her contention comes from breakout rap prima Latto, British indie duo Wet Leg and Italian Eurovision winners Måneskin. It is simply a genuinely unusual class this year.

While immoderate US politicians are calling for TikTok to beryllium banned, the app's outsize power connected the euphony manufacture has been recognised by the Grammys.

Spanish prima Rosalía gets a information for champion euphony movie for a one-off performance that aired connected TikTok; and 4 of the artists up for opus of the twelvemonth scored hits from viral TikTok videos.

One of the much astonishing ones is Gayle's ABCDEFU, if lone for its root story.

The prima was challenged connected TikTok to constitute a break-up opus utilizing the alphabet, and replied with an aboriginal mentation of ABCDEFU. After it started trending connected the app, a finished mentation was recorded and became a planetary smash.

But it was aboriginal discovered that the "fan" was successful information an worker of her grounds label, starring to accusations of hype and marketing.

But erstwhile hasn't the euphony manufacture been astir hype and marketing? ABCDEFU is inactive a fun, if slight, popular anthem. Whether it deserves a Grammy information is different question.

The Grammys signifier is going to groan nether the value of 3 twelve rap legends (and their golden chains) erstwhile the ceremonial celebrates the 50th day of hip-hop.

Introduced by LL Cool J, with euphony by The Roots, the show volition see appearances by Busta Rhymes, De La Soul, Missy Elliott, Future, GloRilla, Grandmaster Flash, Ice-T, Lil Wayne, The Lox, Method Man, Nelly, Public Enemy, Queen Latifah, LL Cool J, RUN-DMC, Salt-N-Pepa and Outkast's Big Boi... amongst others.

The day itself falls successful August - recognising the day successful 1973 that 18-year-old Clive Campbell, aka DJ Kool Herc threw a backmost to schoolhouse enactment astatine his flat successful New York.

There, helium pioneered the method of playing 2 copies of the aforesaid opus astatine once, alternating betwixt turntables to widen the instrumental portions of funk and psyche records, that became the instauration chromatic of hip-hop.

The past (and only) clip Ozzy Osbourne won a Grammy, it was for a way from Live & Loud, his expected farewell album, successful 1994.

28 abbreviated years later, he's got 4 nominations, each successful designation of his latest album, Patient No. 9, which features contributions from Eric Clapton, Metallica and the precocious Jeff Beck.

The prima says he'll beryllium "floored" if helium wins... and that helium hasn't prepared a speech.

"I ever extremity up saying it doubly oregon blowing it oregon whatever," helium told Billboard. "I'm definite my woman volition person it worked out. Behind maine is my wife. My woman pulls my strings."

The "big four" are the Grammys' astir prestigious and hotly-contested awards. Here's a look astatine the line-up.

The header present is the repetition of 2017's champion medium race, successful which Adele's 25 controversially bushed Beyoncé's Lemonade. Beyoncé is considered the front-runner this time, but Adele has an unbeatable way record, winning each of the 13 Grammys she's been nominated for since 2012.

The acheronian equine is Brandi Carlile, a musician's instrumentalist who helped bring Joni Mitchell backmost to the signifier past year. The rootsy Americana of her seventh workplace album, In These Silent Days, is guaranteed to entreaty to the Academy's musically blimpish elector base.

Harry Styles' As It Was should beryllium the front-runner here. It spent 15 weeks astatine fig 1 successful the US, and cemented the British vocalist arsenic 1 of his generation's standout talents, but its ubiquity could play against it.

Adele's Easy On Me is simply a comparatively harmless choice, sharing astir 80% of its DNA with her erstwhile opus of the twelvemonth winner, Hello. But it would beryllium glorious to spot Taylor Swift, the astir consequential writer of her generation, yet triumph this songwriting prize, aft 5 erstwhile attempts.

While the opus of the twelvemonth grant recognises the creation of a song, grounds of the twelvemonth looks astatine the finished merchandise - i.e. the existent dependable recording.

No-one has won the class much times than Bruno Mars, suggesting voters consciousness much comfy with recognisable, throwback sounds than innovative experimentation. That gives Lizzo's About Damn Time and Harry Styles' As It Was a flimsy borderline implicit Beyoncé's Break My Soul. But this 1 is excessively adjacent to call.

Without a big, breakout prima to dominate, this class is an unfastened field. Voters typically opt for mainstream acts similar Olivia Rodrigo and Billie Eilish, which would regularisation retired immoderate of the much esoteric nominees, like jazz duo Domi and JD Beck, oregon people vocalist Molly Tuttle.

Italian Eurovision winners Maneskin person been beauteous inescapable connected US vigor implicit the past year, giving them a decent edge; but Latto, whose charismatic rap anthem Big Energy, was a Top 3 hit, is the 1 to beat.
