Who will host the 2025 Grammy Awards? See previous hosts and when they were announced
From Charli XCX's "Brat" summer to Shaboozey's country hit "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" to Chappell Roan's breakthrough into stardom, there was no shortage of trending musical moments in 2024.
And they will all culminate at music's biggest night next month: the 2025 Grammys.
The Grammy Awards honor those in the music industry, celebrating excellence across genres and the globe. Its annual ceremony recognizes many categories, with this year's 67th Grammy Award ceremony featuring 94 distinct awards.
Beyoncé tops the nominations list with 11 nods for her countrified “Cowboy Carter,” followed by Charli XCX, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar and Post Malone, all members of the seven-nods club. They’re trailed by a trio of artists scoring six nominations each: Taylor Swift and Grammy newcomers Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan.
The nominees for the prestigious album of the year, meanwhile, includes a diverse slate of talent including André 3000 and Jacob Collier competing against pop music breakouts Carpenter and Roan. The category also features big names, from the award's most decorated artist, Beyoncé, to four-time AOTY winner Taylor Swift.
Much like the awards, hosting the show is akin to getting a prize in itself. Here's what to know about the 2025 hosting gig.
