South Korean superstars BTS lit up the Grammys during Lil Nas X’s unforgettable star-studded medley, “Old Town Road” last year. The Recording Academy revealed on Sunday (March 7) that the Bangtan Boys will be returning for the second round, ready to take the stage at the 2021 Grammys along with a host of other dynamite artists.
Although the awards program generally features artist announcements gradually, the Recording Academy did things a little differently this year by announcing them all at once. The lineup is packed, including Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa and Roddy Ricch, each of whom has six nominations. Billie Eilish, Harry Styles, Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B, Bad Bunny, DaBaby, Doja Cat and Post Malone will also perform.
After being delayed due to coronavirus concerns, it became clear that the broadcast would not look the same as last year, which featured performances that literally set the stage on fire and a red carpet packed with sparkly dresses. But that also includes some positives, with half of the 22 scheduled acts performing at the awards ceremony for the first time, including Harry Styles, Doja Cat, Haim, and Megan Thee Stallion. Although Beyoncé leads the nominations with nine in total, she is not scheduled to act.
Nonetheless, the 63 Grammys will carry on their broadcast despite the ongoing pandemic while security measures are observed. The Recording Academy stated that “artists will come together, even if safely separated, to play music for each other as a community and celebrate the music that unites us all.” Hosted by The daily showTrevor Noah and broadcast from the Los Angeles Convention Center, it all comes down on Sunday, March 14.
