Several Grammy Awards performers such as Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo and Jon Batiste have a chance to carve their names in the show's history books Sunday.
Through her song"Happier Than Ever," Eilish could become the first artist ever to win record of the year three times in a row, and the only artist along with Paul Simon to take home the award three times. She's in position to join Adele as the only artists to ever win three major categories - record, song and album of the year - twice. She previously won for"Bad Guy" and"Everything I Wanted.
Eilish is up for best music film with her concert documentary"Happier Than Ever: A Love Letter to Los Angeles." But in that same category includes Ahmir"Questlove" Thompson's"Summer of Soul," which recently won an Oscar for best documentary. The only person who could win the most Grammys in one night is Jon Batiste, who enters the awards with a leading 11 nominations. If Batiste wins in eight categories, he will tie Michael Jackson and rock band Santana for the record.
The awards will be without several big names: Drake and The Weeknd both decided to not take part in the Grammys, at all. Ye, who changed his name from Kanye West, said he was told that his act was pulled from the show. Mickey Guyton was the first Black woman to be nominated in best country solo performance last year, and now she's back in the category again. If she wins, she would be the first Black woman to get that award.
Artists competing with Eilish for album of the year include Rodrigo, Jon Batiste, Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Doja Cat, H.E.R., Taylor Swift, Lil Nas X and Kanye West.
