Leading the pack with 11 nominations is Beyoncé, making her the most nominated artist in Grammy history. Other top nominees include Post Malone, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, and Charli XCX with seven nominations each. Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, and Chappell Roan follow closely with six nominations apiece.
While the Grammy Awards will not be postponed due to the wildfires, the event will focus on raising funds for wildfire relief efforts and honoring first responders. The Recording Academy and MusiCares have already donated $2 million in emergency aid to support those affected by the fires.
In solidarity with the relief efforts, major music industry players like Universal Music Group, BMG, and Warner Music Group have canceled their Grammy-related events and redirected funds towards fire relief initiatives. WMG and the Blavatnik Family Foundation Social Justice Fund have pledged $1 million to support the rebuilding efforts in the Los Angeles area.
The annual Persons of the Year benefit gala, hosted by a foundation that provides aid to music professionals in need of financial, personal, or medical assistance, is scheduled to be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center a few days before the prestigious Grammys event. The upcoming 2025 gala, set for January 31, will pay tribute to the legendary Grateful Dead while also emphasizing an additional focus on supporting wildfire relief efforts.
In an email communication distributed by the Recording Academy to its esteemed members on Tuesday, it was stated that the forthcoming Persons of the Year event will include a special appeal for contributions towards aiding those affected by wildfires. This initiative underscores the foundation’s commitment to not only recognizing musical excellence but also contributing to crucial humanitarian causes.
