Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish to perform at Grammys
The Grammy Awards are bringing three of the world's biggest pop acts - Olivia Rodrigo, BTS and Billie Eilish - to perform during next month's ceremony in Las Vegas.
The Recording Academy announced the first slate of performers yesterday. The list also includes Brandi Carlile, Brothers Osborne and Lil Nas X with Jack Harlow.
Rodrigo, the 18-year-old pop star, released her debut album, SOUR, last May, and was recently named Billboard's Woman of the Year.
Billie Eilish, who first gained public attention in 2015 with her debut single, Ocean Eyes, recently halted one of her concerts to check on the safety of her audience. The 20-year-old singer was performing at Madison Square Garden in New York City when she urged the crowd to "sit down" if they needed to, and take a moment to compose themselves.
The Grammys shifted to Las Vegas due to the rising COVID-19 cases and the omicron variant in January, with organizers citing "too many risks" to hosting the performance-filled ceremony at the time. This year's show will take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Trevor Noah returns as host for the second straight time.
The multi talented Jon Batiste is the leading nominee with 11 nods in a variety of genres including R&B, jazz, American roots music, classical and music video.
Justin Bieber, Doja Cat and H.E.R. are tied for the second-most nominations with eight apiece.
