Grammy Awards Performers Revealed: Olivia Rodrigo, Lil Nas X, Billie Eilish
The Recording Academy unveils a first round of artists set to take to the stage.
by See full bio · CNETSeven performers at this year's Grammys have been revealed. The lineup includes award nominees Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, BTS, Brothers Osborne, Brandi Carlile and Lil Nas X with Jack Harlow.
The 2022 Grammy Awards will take place in Las Vegas on April 3. The show airs on CBS at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, and Paramount Plus subscribers can stream it live. Trevor Noah (The Daily Show With Trevor Noah) will host.
Tied for the highest number of Grammy noms among the performers is Eilish, who racked up seven in categories including Record of the Year and Album of the Year. Also up for those two big awards are Lil Nas X and Olivia Rodrigo, who received five and seven nominations, respectively. Brandi Carlile is up for Record of the Year and four other Grammys. Brothers Osborne and Jack Harlow received two nominations each and BTS is nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
This year's show was originally set to take place on Jan. 31, but got postponed amid "uncertainty surrounding the Omicron" COVID-19 variant, the Recording Academy said in a statement. The 2021 Grammys were held sans in-person audience (besides members of the media). Whether that will carry over to this year's ceremony remains unclear, but the January statement from the Recording Academy mentioned prioritizing the health and safety of a "live audience" as a reason for delaying the show.
