Lil Baby received noms for Best Rap Song and Best Performance for his single “Bigger Picture.” Two Album of the Year nominees won't be performing, Jacob Collier and Jhené Aiko. Aiko is set to host the Grammy Awards pre-show. (We're still rooting for GIVĒON: Best R&B album).

As a nod to those who have been impacted by COVID-19, the evening will feature tributes to independent venues impacted by the pandemic.
