The Performers and Presenters
For The 2025 Grammy Awards
Live from Crypto.com Arena in L.A. and hosted by Trevor Noah, Music’s Biggest Night will be broadcast live on Sunday (Feb. 2) at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBS. The show will also be available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+.
This year’s show will put a spotlight on new artists. Seven of this year’s best new artist nominees – Benson Boone, Chappell Roan, Doechii, Raye, Sabrina Carpenter, Shaboozey and Teddy Swims – are set to perform.
Other performers on the telecast include Billie Eilish (who won best new artist five years ago), Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars, Charli XCX and Shakira. Gaga & Mars, who were announced as performers on the Academy’s social media channels on Friday, will perform “a special tribute to the city of Los Angeles and those affected by the wildfires.”
Taylor Swift, who won album of the year at the 2024 Grammy Awards, and Victoria Monét, who won best new artist on that show, are set to present on this year’s show. Other presenters, announced Friday, are Anthony Kiedis & Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Cardi B, Gloria Estefan, Olivia Rodrigo, Queen Latifah, SZA and Will Smith.
Will Smith will introduce the salute to Jones. Jones was executive producer of the hit sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air which ran from 1990-96 on NBC and propelled Smith to stardom.
Jones, who died in November at age 91, won 28 Grammys across six different decades, from the 1960s to the 2010s. He was a friend and mentor to generations of talented artists, including Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder, John Legend and Jacob Collier, all of whom are set to appear on the show.
