Yahoo Lifestyle The Grammys Just Added 12 New Performers to the Star-Studded Lineup
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+.
Benson Boone
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
Billie has performed at the Grammys every year since 2020 and for that, we're eternally grateful. The nine-time Grammy winner is up for seven more awards this year, including Song of the Year, Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for her "Guess" remix with Charli XCX.
Brad Paisley
Country crooner Brad Paisley is one of the 12 artists recently added to the lineup, and you can expect him to take part in the show's in-memoriam tributes, as well as special L.A.-themed performances in the wake of the wildfires.
Brittany Howard
Like Brad Paisley, celebrated musician Brittany Howard (who rose to fame as the lead singer and guitarist for the blues rock band Alabama Shakes) will take part in the show's in-memoriam tributes.
Chappell Roan
From the Swamp Princess to the Midwest Princess, the Grammys stage is full of pop culture royalty this year. Chappell truly needs no introduction at this point of her uber-successful rise to fame, and she's only hitting the Grammys stage for the first time. The "Good Luck, Babe!" hitmaker is nominated for the Recording Academy's core four categories: Best New Artist, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Record of the Year.
Charli XCX
Speaking of Charli, it's time to cue up "Spring Breakers," since she's another one of the icons performing at the Grammys this year. 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.
Chris Martin
The Coldplay frontman is yet another artist you can expect to see during the show's in-memoriam tributes and performances celebrating Los Angeles.
Cynthia Erivo
The Wicked star (and Oscar nominee!) is also performing this year’s in-memoriam segment with a special tribute to late producer Quincy Jones.
Doechii
The Swamp Princess went mega-viral for her intricate performances on NPR's Tiny Desk Concert and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. On top of legendary collabs with Tyler, the Creator and Katy Perry, Doechii has become one of music's it-girls thanks to her mixtape, Alligator Bites Never Heal, which is nominated for Best Rap Album. She's also up for Best New Artist and Best Rap Performance.
Herbie Hancock
Composer, bandleader, and jazz musician Herbie Hancock has been tapped to help perform the in-memoriam tribute to Quincy Jones, who passed away in November at 91.
Jacob Collier
The Grammy-winning singer and producer (who's up for Album of the Year with Djesse Vol. 4, along with two other awards) is another artist you can expect to see during the show's in-memoriam tributes.
Janelle Monáe
Janelle is teaming up with Stevie Wonder to headline an in-memoriam tribute to legendary producer Quincy Jones.
John Legend
The 12-time Grammy Award-winning artist (who earned three noms this year, including Best Children’s Music Album) was one of the 12 artists tapped to take part in the ceremony's in-memoriam segments.
Lainey Wilson
The "Heart Like a Truck" singer is set to take the stage during the Quincy Jones tribute at Sunday's show.
Raye
Charli's "Dreamer" collaborator, Raye, broke into the mainstream with her hit, "Escapism." featuring 070 Shake, and her first independently released album, My 21st Century Blues, made waves thanks to her stunning live arrangements and vocal chops. Raye is not only blessing us with her stage presence at this year's ceremony but is up for three awards, including Best New Artist, Songwriter Of The Year, and Non-Classical and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical for her contribution to Lucky Daye's album, Algorithm.
Sabrina Carpenter
Sabrina's not new to this, she's true to this. After dropping bangers for a decade, she's hitting the stage and getting her flowers with nods in major categories as well as Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Solo Performance for "Espresso."
Shakira
Three-time Grammy winner Shakira is back for another high-energy performance amid her Best Latin Pop Album nomination for Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran. She previously appeared on the Grammys stage for a performance of her No. 1 hit "Hips Don't Lie" with Wyclef Jean in 2007.
Sheryl Crow
The nine-time Grammy Award-winning singer is set to appear during the in-memoriam and L.A.-themed tribute segments.
St. Vincent
St. Vincent isn't just up for four awards, including Best Rock Song for "Broken Man"—she's also lending her vocals to the ceremony's in-memoriam tributes.
Stevie Wonder
Living legend Stevie Wonder is also taking his talents to the Grammys to headline a tribute to late producer Quincy Jones alongside Janelle Monáe.
Teddy Swims
Teddy's track "Lose Control" has rightfully gained traction, thanks to his velvet vocals and raw performances. The artist just dropped his album, I've Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 2), and landed his first-ever Grammy nomination for Best New Artist.
