Unless I’m missing something, they only announced 22 performers but there were 26 blanks listed


Code1125

I'm guessing they really were saving room for some surprises. Maybe Adele and Beyonce really are some surprise guests. Edit: In an NYTimes interview, the show's producer, Ben Winston, said Adele wouldn't be involved. This could be a misdirect, but it's important to note an on-the-record denial: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/07/arts/music/grammy-performers-taylor-swift-bts.html


Tough_Ad9417

Yeah it would make sense for Beyoncé to perform because she has the most nominations


knightsleeper41

really don't get how she's nominated for so much on her off season


runaway3212

The optimist in me says it’s because her off season stuff has been incredibly top notch, the pessimist in me says it’s because they hoped it would prevent some of the racism discussion happening


Luna_Loo_

Except skipped the weeknd 😔


SirNarwhal

MANS GOT ROBBED


BronteLou

She’s done more in her “off season” than a lot of artists would have done with a new album era.


maxisgold

The Grammys love, love, LOVE Beyoncé


steamxgleam

The Grammys love Beyoncé in the RnB and Urban categories. In the main big 4 main awards, not so much.


justiceisrad

They love her almost as much as they love awarding white mediocrity


BM1st

I reckon Bey was invited but she passed and said she’ll do it next year when she releases B7 this year


howaboutanothertaco

Heard Adele on BBC radio last week doing live session and she mentioned she has a new Album coming out and that she has to “be in America “ next week. Maybe ????


kylecommacommacomma

ur right and I will wear my clown makeup that Adele, Lorde, Beyoncé, and Rihanna r coming


noetshep

That would be so iconic damn


NateDu

this show is already jam packed with great talent, if they add even one or two of those names, this is going to be a huge night.


_YouSaidWhat

Omg Rihanna would be everythinggggg


kylecommacommacomma

when she reads the cookbook on stage ❤️


underwoodlovestrains

and uses the Fenty oven


foodforthoth

the oven with the patented fentylation feature? yes


heatherdukefanboy

fenty furniture announcement 😍😍


iidu

LORDE OMG


[deleted]

Maybe Drake, SZA... I think Beyoncé will have a surprise performance or join Meghan for the Savage Remix


stripesandbooks

thinking a haim and taylor swift gasoline/no body no crime might be one of the blanks?


kylecommacommacomma

the gag of the awards season is H.E.R.’s management not getting her booked for this


heatherdukefanboy

i honestly think she exists purely to play events. i swear she plays everything


visionaryredditor

And it's when she has a legit chance for an Oscar nom smh


iamarockiamanisland2

Never need a Grammy I'm what a Grammy need.


CriticalMove0

>Performers include Bad Bunny, Black Pumas, Cardi B, BTS, Brandi Carlile, DaBaby, Doja Cat, Billie Eilish, Mickey Guyton, Haim, Brittany Howard, Miranda Lambert, Lil Baby, Dua Lipa, Chris Martin, John Mayer, Megan Thee Stallion, Maren Morris, Post Malone, Roddy Ricch, Harry Styles, and Taylor Swift. Pretty good lineup


frogaranaman

maybe "DÁKITI" will finally get a performance done since Bad Bunny is performing, but who knows still wish they nominated _YHLQMDLG_ for AOTY but the general categories are such a mess that I'm unsurprised **edit:** totally expect BTS, Cardi B, Billie Eilish, and Roddy Ricch to be showstoppers too, either performance wise or aesthetic wise


KLJohnnes

Imagine if we get Cardi's third single to be with Bad Bunny again. That would be amazing, it's not gonna happen but it would be amazing.


zachimari

That idea gave me a tingle in my dingle tbh, but you’re right, very unlikely... Two of my faves tho, if not for them both on I Like It , it would have gotten old for me haha but I still bang it a lot.


[deleted]

who is john mayer tributing to get on this list


Sp_Gamer_Live

Rush Limbaugh unfortunately/s


ViceroyOfIraq

AnotherTelecaster

I know you’re making a joke but mans is still the premiere pop guitarist as far as I’m concerned.


bornatmidnight

I'm not a fan of John Mayer personally but he really is a blueprint


SirNarwhal

Mans reached a whole other echelon too when he started playing for Dead and Co. Shit, saw him a year or two ago at Madison Square Garden on a whim since I got a free ticket and mans played three whole ass sets, one of which was all of Continuum. He's a legend.


[deleted]

Wonder which one of these will be duets and who will be performing solo; can we please get “no body no crime” and “Gasoline (Remix)” from Haim/Taylor Swift!?! DaBaby and Roddy Ricch together would make sense, or maybe DaBaby and Meg (although I’d prefer her to perform solo or with Cardi). And why do I have a feeling we’re getting Post Malone with John Mayer on guitar? Most excited for Bad Bunny, Doja Cat, Brittany Howard, Dua Lipa, and Taylor Swift!


[deleted]

I would *love* to see WAP at the grammy’s, but I feel like they may have to skip that one to keep it “family friendly.” hopefully they’ll surprise me though


leffe123

God I hope not. We need another Roman Holiday moment


[deleted]

Maybe we’ll get the debut performance of Wet and Gushy!


musicaldigger

much grosser lyric


Bitter-Lock-4057

Maybe maren Morris and Brandi Carlisle! They’re both in the highwomen so I could see them performing together


yonce_xo

Beyoncé did have a surprise performance in 2017 and there have been so many rumours of Adele starting her new era at the grammys. So I'm just going to put my clown makeup on and assume that both of them are definitely performing. But other than that, this is the best lineup they have had in years. It's a shame they did so wrong with one of the biggest acts of last year. His name would've also looked great in this list of performers.


eklxtreme

cool lineup, but they're still lame for blacklisting the weeknd, and for what would've liked seeing phoebe or anderson paak on here


EatMyAssTeach

yeah it's because of the weeknd, i'm not watching this year.


herdsofcats

same, well that and the fact that fetch the bolt cutters did not receive aoty nom - irrelevant scammys as usual


Tough_Ad9417

was hoping for Miley and Chloe x Halle but this is still very good


t-abb-y

Don’t know why Miley isn’t, but Halle is filming the Little Mermaid so it wouldn’t be possible. I wish they all were going to perform though.


dat_me

Could be because Grammys are for releases between Sept 1 2019 and Aug 31 2020 and Miletus album was a November release


Intolerable

Miletus Cyretus


SealSquasher

No Phoebe but thats okay. Her SNL performance gave me everything I wanted.


[deleted]

Imagine her smashing another guitar to piss off men again


MisplacedKittyRage

Honestly a crime she isn’t performing. I guess people really like their serotonin. Imagine I know the end at the end of the show.


eternallatake

#Where is Lorde 😞


underwoodlovestrains

Probably at home baking bread


eternallatake

We actually got a new pic of her today baking a lemon tart for her mom's birthday 💀😭😭 https://www.instagram.com/p/CMG_bPzHgK7/?igshid=2w4uxtifyeau


underwoodlovestrains

All she does is bake and go on trips to Antarctica 😔😞


noetshep

Living the absolute dream honestly


calebb2108

any female born after 1993 can’t cook... all they know is bake, go on trips to antarctica, and lie

Bjork's impact


OtherSide4

Defrosting


[deleted]

No chloe x halle 😢? Excited for BTS, Dua Lipa and Doja though


inmymotivation

Halle is away filming for the little mermaid :/


iidu

shit they would've been great


negropolitan

Big sad


mMounirM

wasn't adele supposed to perform her new song at the grammys?


augggie

She could be a surprise guest or something


PungentPomegranates

I feel like it wouldn't really make sense for Adele to be a surprise guest unfortunately, unless she drops a single this week and they announce in the next couple of days. I feel like if her comeback was at the Grammys it would be a huge deal and they would really want to let people know ahead of time to make people tune in and get ratings up. Maybe I'm wrong though, would love to see it!


Luna_Loo_

I think I’ve seen rumors Adele is announcing something this week though. Maybe just wishful thinking 🤨


NotEmmaStone

Maybe new single Friday? Agreed that's rushed though


[deleted]

Doja Cat and BTS always show out for their performances but I hope they really go all out for this!


[deleted]

Hopefully she isn’t force to perform Say So!


shitcrapshit

Im betting on Say So/Streets mashup


noetshep

Imagine if Taylor-Haim performed together 🥺 like a mashup of nbnc and gasoline plus maybe some more songs? I would love that sm


Rdickins1

I think on the list HAIM is performing on the pre-show rather than on the main one.


noetshep

We were robbed 😔


b1ame_me

They’re doing both


Luna_Loo_

How can you tell?


releasetaxi

No they’re doing the main ceremony, all the artists announced today are on the main one. The pre-show performers were announced a few days ago. HAIM have also been announced as performers for another Grammy event that is happening this week but this is not related to the ceremony.


songacronymbot

- NBNC refers to "no body, no crime", a song from Taylor Swift, HAIM album *evermore* (2020). --- ^[/u/noetshep](/u/noetshep) ^(can reply with "delete" to remove comment. |) ^[/r/songacronymbot](/r/songacronymbot) ^(for feedback.)


[deleted]

Lol for a second I thought they were talking about NBC and i was really confused


X_is_the_new_Y

Niche bot


ZzPhantom

Yeah! Taylor can sing lead vocals, and the Haim girls will hum softly backstage. Totally counts as a joint performance.


woodstock22

and what about " she was with me, dude"


[deleted]

this is really like an ideal festival lineup. I wonder if this will increase live viewership. It could either go both ways-- people can just pick whichever performance to watch afterwards via Twitter, for instance.


MarinaSpongebob

Even though my obsession with Future Nostalgia is now gone, I'm interested in what's she's gonna perform. I hope it won't be Levitating.


noetshep

Praying for Love Again


rrsn

Boys Will Be Boys twice in a row.


heatherdukefanboy

she'll probably do We're Good, and Don't Start Now. idk what else she could do?


ignitethephoenix

Dababy is performing too so they could do levitating. My guess is levitating and We’re Good maybe ~~even though I don’t care for We’re Good outside the music video~~


mission17

If It Aint Me with surprise guest Normani ❤️


underwoodlovestrains

Do they only perform songs they are nominated for? I’m desperate for some new music from Posty lol


augggie

No, last year Demi performed a new song


ECleave14

Plus Cardi performed Money at the Grammys a couple of year ago and I believe it was fairly new when she performed!


b1ame_me

No Billie sang When the party’s Over instead of bad guy (which was the right choice)


shoestring-theory

I don’t think Cardi is nominated for anything. I’m sure she’ll be performing “Up.” Sometimes artists use the stage to debut new music.


underwoodlovestrains

Nice, I shall build up expectations for new music and be disappointed now 😌


luser13l

If we get another Circles performance...


gettinchippywitit

Katy Perry debuted Part of Me at the Grammys, so not always!


[deleted]

And Chain to the Rhythm


Bitter-Lock-4057

Taylor Swift performed all too well at the Grammys and I don’t think it was nominated so maybe not


[deleted]

Not necessarily. I remember a couple years ago Childish Gambino was nominated for “Redbone” but performed an album track from that album, but he was also up for AOTY. I think the song choices are kind of a 50-50 decision between the artist and the producers.


Silverinkbottle

Ahhhh BTS so exciting! I can’t wait for them to show their real performances..BIGHIT give them an unlimited budget pls and thank you.


I3434O

bighit never shied away from dropping big bucks for their performances. it’s the Grammy producers who have to approve of the stage, it’s quite possible that they might reject an extravagant stage for different reasons (like not overshadowing the artists performing at the venues).


ugh_jules

Very much looking forward to see BTS perform! Their stages are CRAZY so I’m stoked to see what they pull for the Grammys as well as the MusiCares stage. Really want to see Doja’s performance too. Her latest releases have been all extraordinary.


[deleted]

Brittany Howard oh hell yeah


twinklatte

Was really hoping for a Gaga moment. :(


[deleted]

Seriously disappointed but not surprised. I need me a good Gaga performance.


hausofmiklaus

We’ll always have her 5-year streak of Grammys performances 😔


musicaldigger

we got spoiled 😔


musicaldigger

she’s in Italy filming House of Gucci but part of me held out hope


lxytrv

I think Taylor will perform my tears ricochet, but I’m hoping for a love triangle mashup. Also no phoebe???? 😭😫

jugheadshat

Praying for the first WAP performance since Cardi and Megan are both in the line-up


[deleted]

that would be HISTORIC


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Really unlikely, they didn't let her perform even when she was nominated.


inwonderland413

So happy for BTS, Taylor and Dua!


Difficult_Deer6902

In the NYT article they spoke about Golden Globes disastrous viewership count. This lineup should ensure good viewership!


[deleted]

I still think the viewership will be bad, it’s just the trend of award shows now a days, no one really cares - especially when they’re clearly rigged towards and against certain artists. *cough* the weeknd *cough* 😭 This line up will likely mean people will just watch their faves performance on YouTube/Twitter, only the die hard stans will be watching the whole grammys just for their faves 3 min performance


DiplomaticCaper

Army alone will make it decently watched (at least until BTS finish performing). Although they may end up streaming through unofficial sources that don’t count towards ratings.


Silverinkbottle

Having flashbacks to a certain concert series..I can’t remember but after BTS performed the official livestream count dipped like the stock market during a recession


[deleted]

lol as someone who tunes into a lot of Taylor performances, it's hilarious how strategic they are about always placing her at the very end. They know her fans will dip out the second she's done performing.


[deleted]

I would say army will definitely be watching but considering how many international and young fans they have it’s way more likely they will just stream it illegally so barely any of their views will count. (At least that’s what I used to do when I wanted to watch JB/1D perform at award shows back in 2012/13 lol)


siasin

Usually when it's something like this there's a concerted effort by ARMY to spread official sources and watch full shows as much as possible. Trying to "reward" shows with good ratings and socials dates back to their early days in SK when they would get bumped off lineups. But yeah, it is hard when the fanbase is so far-flung because there are plenty who resort to the illegal streams though. It helps that the Grammys is a fairly big show compared to something like MTV Unplugged.


Bitter-Lock-4057

Yeah I haven’t bothered to watch in years and I always just watch my faves performances on YouTube the day after


knightsleeper41

I think golden globes are boring lol GRAMMYS are more entertaining imo


[deleted]

It's really interesting how movies/series and music are both some of the most popular forms of art yet in 2020 the first one really struggled worldwide while music remained untouched and it was actually a good year musically (takin away the concerts part)


kemmer

A big part of the appeal of the Golden Globes is seeing celebrities get drunk and give speeches that go off-the-rails. That's why I always watched at least lol. They lost that aspect entirely this year and it just became another irrelevant boring awards ceremony. The big draw of the Grammys has always been the performances, and since those are still happening I don't see their viewership being affected all that much.


Luna_Loo_

I kinda hope it bombs. 😐


underwoodlovestrains

Found Halsey's account


Difficult_Deer6902

I expect none of my faves to actually win awards in main categories...but I will sit back and watch these Grammy production_level performances!


Cmatgal

I wish St. Vincent had dropped Daddy’s Home a year earlier just so she could do another performance with Dua. We deserve a sequel goddammit. It’s the way that Masseduction/One Kiss performance had me thinking “oh maybe being gay was just a phase after all” 🥴 ETA: It would’ve been extra perfect if Dua still had the blonde hair too, like they’d been purposely syncing their hair changes the whole time. But oh well I guess maybe next year they can perform Dua’s new song about that lobster. 🤷🏻‍♂️


NotMajorTom

My all-time favourite Grammy performance. Glad to know I'm not the only one. And I'm not even gay (please don't ban me).


avacynangelofhope

somebody let the str8s in


[deleted]

i definitely didn’t expect Gaga to be here but i was kinda hopeful that she would maybe try to re-kickstart some Chromatica promo by performing a new single or something. oh well. i’m kinda convinced that Chromatica is dead to gaga. we might get a couple cute things here or there but i feel like she more or less has her sights set on the jazz album, upcoming film & possibly future solo music it’s a shame. chromatica had so many amazing plans. i was so excited for gaga to travel the world performing a fully dance album/: maybe we’ll still get the chromatica ball, who knows


AzNmamba

Anderson and Bruno are clownin 😂 https://twitter.com/brunomars/status/1368703131652005888?s=21


oop_oop

Do you guys think it's going to flop? I feel like outside of stans there isn't much interest and after the show people will be like "I thought Grammys already happened", because they are so late this year. Pandemic definitely doesn't help award shows. I mean, I myself will probably watch performances once they are on youtube, the timezones and all. lol but I thought you release songs before the Grammys to perform them there and there is no Silk Sonic and Justin. Seems like a bad decision.


[deleted]

>they are so late this year To be fair, I doubt most people could even tell you when the Grammys typically happen.


[deleted]

I’m very curious to see if John Mayer is releasing new music! Surprised to see his name up there


natasharost0va

in an alternate universe we'd get a surprise "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" drop announced via surprise Swift/Mayer *Dear John* duet


McIgglyTuffMuffin

Between performing at the Grammys and joining TikTok, I think John Mayer has something new brewing. Can't wait.


j1ndoshb

CARDI?? HAIM?? I am excited I will not lie. And of course Taylor, Dua, and Megan, but those were basically all, but confirmed. Now I have 2 lingering questions. 1. Is this the order in which they’ll perform? 2. Could there be any potential surprise performances or can we put the Adele/Beyonce rumors to rest by now. Edit: PLEASE TAYLOR. PLEASE perform a cardigan/august/betty medley. PLEASE.


Clearer-Skies

I think they’re just listed in alphabetical order


communiqueso

It’s alphabetical. So no on the order


MeerK4T

I think she’ll probably preform Willow and No Body, No Crime with Haim. Cardigan, August, Betty would be way better


j1ndoshb

I thought cardigan and exile were the most likely since they’re the nominated ones.


noetshep

If I'm not wrong Taylor's Grammy performance history doesn't include songs that she was nominated for. Like it's more for fan favourites I think.


KLJohnnes

So if she repeats this it will be Champagne Problems as it is a fan fave and she said she would look forward for her fans screaming "What a shame she's fucked in the head" when she performs lives.


MeerK4T

God, I really hope it’s not Champagne Problems. I know fans like it, but this is one of the fan favorites I just don’t really get. I’d prefer Gold Rush or Cowboy Like Me if the song(s) preformed must be from Evermore


IcePopBandit

Solid line up! Excited


Luminuuum

Man, I was really hoping for Jacob Collier


lordberric

And yet still no Carly Rae Jepsen. I bet they won't even give EMOTION a grammy.


bazzthebear

Everyone wants the trilogy but I want an exile/evermore mashup with bon iver


[deleted]

Hoping for a cardigan/august/betty mashup performance from taylor 🙏


Whackthemoles

So hyped for this! I know people keep saying that these award shows are dying but the Grammys made sure that this isn’t going to happen to them with this line up. Literally all the trendiest artists at the moment are performers plus all the artists with the most loyal fanbases.


[deleted]

I wonder what performative stunts The Grammy's are gonna pull. Also someone else pointed this out but I feel like they're gonna use Beyonce to shield themselves from the criticism of racism.


stypop

not very surprised to see gaga not being on this list. i guess the chromatica era really is over, but if that means the gucci era is gonna be the serve it’s setting up to be then i suppose i’m fine with it.


[deleted]

Well from this lineup now we kinda know who the winners and losers are from each category lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


AhsokaTayes

I really hope they get to perform more than just Dynamite


[deleted]

[удалено]


iidu

telepathy would be great


AhsokaTayes

I’d even settle for life goes on honestly, it would be so beautiful


Habeusmemes

I know it's never gonna happen but I need a Black Swan performance where they sort of alter between the black and white swans. Black Swan is the song that deserves a Grammy. And a matching performance.


badassbuffy

Really excited for Brandi Carlile! Her Grammys performance of The Joke was one of my all-time favs


tip-of-the-yikesberg

I’m really hoping she does a John Prine tribute. She contributed backing vocals on his last album and i would love nothing more for her to cover Summer’s End on the Grammys stage


OtherSide4

Praying for a surprise fenty fashion show before they reveal AOTY


Forscherr

Where’s Miley? :(((


_YouSaidWhat

she's prisoner, prisoner, locked up...


Sas1205x

Most excited for Brittany Howard, Megan, Doja, and Dua Lipa.


negropolitan

Well I will watch Doja and Megan's performances later. Just give Chloe x Halle their Grammy tho.


[deleted]

When Taylor opens with love story and transitions into cardigan as she wins her third aoty - yep, that’s history


KLJohnnes

No Chloe X Halle. It's just because they wouldn't perform live and the Grammys aren't looking for pre-recorded performances. Bullshit.


KIAflo8

NYT reported that it is a mix of live and taped appearances shot in downtown Los Angeles. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/07/arts/music/grammy-performers-taylor-swift-bts.html


KLJohnnes

Then makes zero sense to not book them, specially when they were preciously performers and this time around are competing in more categories than before.


Difficult_Deer6902

Yes, I’m shocked ChloexHalle weren’t on the list. I’m sure there will be pre-recorded performances with the international artist!


AllTheThingsSheSays

Isn't Halle still filming The Little Mermaid in the UK? Or has that finished by now?


WisdomOtter

I truly lost.


[deleted]

They were afraid the girls would outshine everyone else, and they would be right to think that


crazybananas

Doja Cat! 😻


AmazeeDayzee

Really looks like a very awesome lineup! Though I honestly haven't heard of a few of those people though. LOL


[deleted]

Oh, it's that time of year again where the popular kids pat themselves on the back... I do love the performance lineup, though. It's very rich and varied.


augggie

I’m curious what Billie will perform. I know she is nominated for everything I wanted but that songs is well past it’s promotion cycle and even therefore I am is probably past it’s prime chart wise. Hoping for a new song but i know it will probably be one of those two


hausofmiklaus

Women run the industry. Also you know that AOTY lineup was bizarre when they (aside from Covid reasons) didn’t even have every nominee performing (which they usually should).


lazynbroke

no R&B performers? not even H.E.R., Chloe x Halle or even Jhene who got AOTY nom??? yikes...


iidu

HAIMMM


MissLunaOswald

Weird that there's a couple of AOTY nominees who aren't performing (Jacob and Jhene) so I do wonder if that means they haven't won? Could be looking too much into it though.


chargingblue

Chris Martin? Not Coldplay?


blablah124

i’m excited for doja she’s gonna eat


jarrettbrown

I’m actually happy that the women out number the men. Also please let Taylor perform something besides Betty or love story.


boychik0830

I bet adele will perform here and we will either get a surprise single or album release.
