Yes, the 67th Annual Grammy Awards are still happening after a slew of awards shows rescheduled due to the L.A. wildfires, and the artists that took over our Spotify Wrapped and Apple Music Replay reviews are taking the stage at the coveted awards show. Breakout stars like Benson Boone and Doechii are first-time nominees, whose songs dominated radio waves and social algorithms, while Raye and Teddy Swims's buttery-smooth vocals are set to appear at the Crypto.com Arena, too.

Also in the lineup: Billie Eilish is blessing our eardrums for the fifth (!!!) year in a row, and Shakira is back to perform on her birthday. Oh, and our tried-and-true Power Pop Girls Charli XCX, Sabrina Carpenter, and Chappell Roan are gracing the stage as well. TL;DR: The star power at the 2025 Grammys is unreal, so let's break down this instantly iconic lineup.

The 2025 Grammys will take place at L.A.’s Crypto.com Arena on Sunday, February 2, and air on CBS at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m PT. No cable? No problem. Streaming will also be available on Paramount+.

Let's be real: Your six-year-old little brother, your mom, and your boss are probably all huge fans of "Beautiful Things." Benson's power ballad broke through this past year thanks to emotional TikTok edits and radio play, and he's bound to do backflips during his 2025 Grammys performance. Benson's a first-time nominee this year, earning a nod for Best New Artist.

Billie Eilish

The certified brat is up for nine golden gramophones, including Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance for "Apple." She was first nominated 10 years ago for her Iggy Azalea collab, "Fancy," so this moment has been long overdue.
