Grammys 2023: Beyoncé sets a record, Shania Twain at the presentation and Luke Combs at the performance

The 2023 Grammy Awards are here.

Trevor Noah is set to host, Beyoncé is leading the nominations, Luke Combs is performing, and Shania Twain is set to present.

Here’s what else to know about music’s biggest night:

How to watch

This year, the awards show airs Sunday at 8:00 p.m. ET on CBS and will stream live and on demand on Paramount+.

Host

The host of the Grammy Awards this year is comedian and former “Daily Show” host Trevor Noah. Noah is no stranger to entertainment, having hosted the biggest musical night of the past two years.

“It’s exciting. For me, it’s a cheat code because I’m a fan of almost everyone out there. It’s also interesting because of the travel,” Noah told Billboard. “The first was [during] COVID-19, and it was a whole different way to do the show. And then the next one was in Las Vegas because of the restrictions [in Los Angeles], and it was a different kind of show. Now that’s exciting [because] it will be the first for me in LA – it’s not only normal, but different for the right reasons.”
