It’s time to face the music once again: the 2023 Grammy nominations here.
After an incendiary year in music that marked the return of legendary artists like Adele and Beyoncé, the Recording Academy is unveiling its newest slate of nominees beginning at 9 a.m. PT/noon ET.
The nominations announcement, which will be livestreamed on the Grammy website and social media channels, is being held at both the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles and at the Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas as part of its upcoming Latin Grammy Week 2022. Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. will be joined by previous Grammy nominees and winners to help in the reveal, including Jimmie Allen, Luis Fonsi, John Legend, Machine Gun Kelly, Smokey Robinson, and Olivia Rodrigo. Country music stars Dan + Shay and actual icon Cyndi Lauper will both pull double duty as they perform and present their own respective categories.

As for which musical artists will be nominated? Well, we already know that Silk Sonic, Drake, and The Weeknd have all asked to be removed from consideration for the golden gramophone this year. Everyone else, however, will soon find themselves going toe-to-toe for the trophies.
Following the nominations, music fans are going to have to wait a few months to find out who will actually take one home. The 2023 Grammys will air live from Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena on CBS and Paramount+ on Feb. 5.
Check back as we update this post with all the nominees.
