The 67th annual Grammy Awards will still take place tomorrow at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles – though the Recording Academy has refocused its aim to support relief efforts following the devastating Los Angeles-area wildfires.
Here’s what you need to know about watching the 2025 Grammys, including how to stream and where you can see music’s biggest stars walking the red carpet.

WHO IS NOMINATED FOR THE GRAMMYS?
Beyoncé leads the Grammy nods with 11, bringing her career total to 99 nominations. That makes her the most nominated artiste in Grammy history.
As of 2023, she’s also the most decorated artiste, having earned 32 trophies across her career.
Post Malone, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar and Charli XCX follow with seven nominations. Taylor Swift and first-time nominees Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan boast six nominations each.
HOW WILL THE LOS ANGELES-AREA WILDFIRES AFFECT THE GRAMMYS?
The 2025 Grammy Awards will go on as planned but will focus its attention on wildfire relief efforts.
Each year, the Recording Academy hosts a multitude of events to welcome the music industry during Grammy week; record labels do the same.
However, many institutions have cancelled their plans – Universal Music Group, BMG and Warner Music Group among them – and instead are allocating resources to Los Angeles-area wildfire relief and rebuilding efforts.
The Recording Academy condensed pre-Grammy week plans to just four events, each featuring a fundraising element.
Events like the annual pre-Grammy Black Music Collective event, Grammy advocacy brunch, and others scheduled to take place at the immersive pop-up Grammy house were cancelled.
In all, at least 16 pre-Grammy events sponsored by the Recording Academy have been cancelled.
“This is our home, it’s home to thousands of music professionals, and many of us have been negatively impacted,” Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason jr said in a statement.
The Recording Academy and MusiCares also launched the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort with a USD1 million donation.
Currently, they’ve raised and pledged more than USD4 million in emergency aid to those in the music industry affected by the wildfires.
