2021 Grammy Awards: the nominees, where to see them and which stars will sing at the ceremony

The delivery of the music awards is this Sunday, March 14. BTS, Bad Bunny, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Chris Martin, Harry Styles and Taylor Swift, among the established artists who will perform in this unusual edition.

Bad Bunny, Taylor Swift, Cardi B, Dua Lipa, Harry Styles and Billie Eilish are some of the renowned musicians who will perform at the 63rd Grammy Awards this Sunday, which for the first time and due to the pandemic, will not be able to bring together all the guests on the same stage. The undisputed of the night and the great rival to beat will be Beyoncé, who with 24 awards received, is the artist with the highest number of nominations.

It is not clear how these musical appearances will be, since many of the artists and candidates of the night will not attend the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the usual venue for the great music festival in the United States. The idea of ​​the organizers is a small television event with almost no audience , with the South African comedian Trevor Noah as the presenter, with live connections in various parts of the world.

Also expected the presentations of the sisters HAIM, Black Pumas, BTS, Brandi Carlile, DaBaby, Doja Cat, Mickey Guyton, Brittany Howard, Miranda Lambert, Lil Baby, Chris Martin, John Mayer, Megan Thee Stallion, Marren Morris, Post Malone and Roddy Ricch.

In this edition, the Recording Academy will pay tribute to the music venues and the venues of small concerts, which have been greatly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Waiters, promoters and other employees will be in charge of giving the prizes to the winners.

The most important music gala will arrive in Latin America live on TNT (dubbed into Spanish) and TNT Series (in original language), from 6:00 p.m. (MEX) / 7:00 p.m. (COL) / 9:00 p.m. (CHI / ARG) hours. Rafa Sarmiento and Ileana Rodríguez will be in charge of the translation and comments during the ceremony, and will accompany the broadcast on the red carpet during the pre-show from 5:15 (MEX) / 18:15 (COL) / 20:15 ( CHI / ARG) hours.

For her song “Black Parade,” which celebrates black culture and activism, Beyoncé tops the nominations with nine categories and, in addition to being the top favorite, is the woman with the most nominations in the history of the awards with 79 nominations during her race. The artist could also become the female soloist with the most triumphs in this award, since she has 24 awards, three less than the violinist Allison Krauss.

A little further behind Beyoncé, with six mentions each, are Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa and rapper Roddy Ricch . Swift and Dua Lipa will compete for the main prize -disco of the year- along with Post Malone, Coldplay, Haim, Jacob Collier, Black Pumas and Jhene Aiko.

“Black Parade,” which was released during protests in the US over police brutality towards the African-American community, will compete in the song and record of the year categories, alongside Dua Lipa’s pop hit “Don’t Start Now” and ” Everything I Wanted ”by Billie Eilish.

Swift’s “Folklore” is nominated for Record of the Year, while her single “Cardigan” is in the category of Theme of the Year. Meanwhile, the field of best new artist included rappers Megan Thee Stallion and Doja Cat, as well as alternative artist Phoebe Bridgers.

This year also includes names of Hispanic artists such as JBalvin and Bad Bunny, nominated for the best pop duo / group performance for their song One Day with Dua Lipa and Tainy. Other categories also include Camilo, Kany García, Ricky Martin, Debi Nova, Bajofondo, Cami, Cultura Profética, Fito Páez, Lido Pimienta, Alejandro Fernández, Lupita Infante, Natalia Lafourcade, Mariachi Sol De México De José Hernández, José Alberto ” El Ruiseñor ”, Edwin Bonilla, Jorge Celedón & Sergio Luis, Grupo Niche, and Víctor Manuelle.

The Recording Academy selected the albums “YHLQMDLG”, by Bad Bunny; “Pausa”, by Ricky Martin, “Por Primera Vez”, by Camilo; “Mesa Para Dos”, by Kany Garcia; and Debi Nova’s “3:33,” to compete for the award in the Best Latin Pop Album category .
