"It's once again Music's Biggest Night, where heavy hitters vie for the most esteemed qualifiers to stick onto album packaging. There's a lot for five-time host Trevor Noah to get into after this weekend in Los Angeles saw huge "ICE Out" demonstrations and an arrest for Don Lemon on specious terror charges just hours after he attended a concert from the Best New Artist-nominated girl group KATSEYE."
"Former Daily Show host Noah says his sixth Grammy gig will be his last; maybe this will give his careful act a sharp edge. If not, they've corralled Ms. Lauryn Hill to salute D'Angelo and Roberta Flack. A stellar crop of nominees leaves few duds in major categories like Album of the Year, where everyone from Lady Gaga to Bad Bunny to Kendrick Lamar have a shot at gold."
Music's Biggest Night returns with Trevor Noah hosting the Grammys for a sixth and final time. Los Angeles experienced large "ICE Out" demonstrations and an arrest of Don Lemon on specious terror charges hours after he attended a concert by the Best New Artist-nominated girl group KATSEYE. Noah's announced farewell could sharpen his stage persona. Organizers secured Lauryn Hill to deliver tributes to D'Angelo and Roberta Flack. The Album of the Year category presents a deep, competitive field including Lady Gaga, Bad Bunny, and Kendrick Lamar. Kendrick Lamar, a five-time 2025 winner, remains a focal contender amid speculation about how many awards he will secure.
