2025 Grammy Awards nominees Benson Boone, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, Charli xcx, Doechii, RAYE, Sabrina Carpenter, Shakira, and Teddy Swims are guaranteed at least one trip to the Grammys stage. The nine artists are the first group announced by The Recording Academy and CBS to perform during the 67th Annual Grammy Awards.
This year’s awards show will take place on Sunday, February 2, 2025 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The Recording Academy will use the 2025 Grammys to help raise awareness and support for the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort To Support Music Professionals fund. $3.2 million has already been raised/pledged to assist music people affected by the wildfires.
“The upcoming Grammy Awards won’t just be about celebrating and honoring the best in music this year, it will also show how the power of music can help rebuild, uplift, and support those in need,” said Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason jr. “We are thrilled that so many artists in our community are banding together at this time to show support for their fellow music makers and others impacted by the recent wildfires.”
The Recording Academy stated: “This year’s Grammy telecast will carry a renewed sense of purpose: raising additional funds to support Los Angeles wildfire relief efforts and honoring the bravery and dedication of first responders who risk their lives to protect others. In order to generate maximum support not only for members of the music community but also for all those affected by the crisis in Los Angeles and the city at large, many events that traditionally make up Grammy Week have been canceled or reformatted.”
First-time nominee Benson Boone competes in the Best New Artist category while nine-time winner Billie Eilish earned seven nominations this year. Chappell Roan’s also a Grammy newcomer, picking up six nominations including Record of the Year, Album of the Year, and Best Pop Vocal Album. Additional first-time nominees confirmed to perform include Doechii, Sabrina Carpenter, and Teddy Swim.
Charlie xcx is nominated in eight categories, Raye earned three nominations, and Shakira is up for a Best Latin Pop Album Grammy. Additional performers will be announced soon.
