Sunday night will unite the hottest and most talented acts in the music industry when the 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards take place at Staples Center in Los Angeles, United States.
Ahead of the big night, the seating chart has been finalized and it’s looking like a slew of stars will get to mix and mingle with each other.
According to photos of tentative seating arrangements released by CBS which include Beyoncé and Jay-Z sitting front row with Taylor Swift and BTS in the next row behind them. It seems as though BTS will finally be seated in the same row, unlike previous award shows that had the group in two separate rows.
8-time nominee Lizzo will have the pleasure of sitting in front of the Jonas Brothers, who are nominees and performers. While first-time nominee and performer Billie Eilish and her brother/producer Finneas will be sitting together behind performer John Legend and wife Chrissy Teigen.
Ariana Grande will have a front-row seat for all of the action and will be seated close to Aerosmith who will be performing during the telecast. Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton will be sitting in front of Cardi B and former Grammy host LL Cool J.
Nominees and power couple Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello will be seated next to each other in the front.
Music’s biggest night will include show-stopping performances from Aerosmith, Billie Eilish, Lizzo, Ariana Grande, Jonas Brothers, Camila Cabello, Rosalía, H.E.R., Demi Lovato, Bonnie Raitt, Run-D.M.C., Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani, Tyler, The Creator and Charlie Wilson.
Musicians will also pay tribute to the late Nipsey Hussle, including John Legend, DJ Khaled, Meek Mill, Roddy Ricch, YG and Kirk Franklin.
Camila Cabello, Gary Clark Jr., John Legend, Debbie Allen, Joshua Bell, Common, Misty Copeland, Lang Lang, Cyndi Lauper, Ben Platt and the War And Treaty will perform a song from Fame during the show to acknowledge the need for music education.
Lil Nas X will be performing a remix of Old Town Road alongside BTS, Billy Ray Cyrus, Mason Ramsey and Diplo.
The 2020 Grammys will air live from Los Angeles on January 26 at 8 PM ET on CBS.
Alicia Keys, who has won 15 Grammy Awards herself, will return as the host in 2020, after hosting the Grammy Awards in 2019. The last woman to host the awards before Keys was Queen Latifah in 2005.
