The music industry hands out its top honors on Sunday with acts from teen sensation Olivia Rodrigo to awards darling Billie Eilish and rapper Lil Nas X competing at a star-studded Grammys ceremony in Las Vegas.
Grammy watchers say it is tough to predict who will take the biggest prizes other than best new artist, which is widely expected to go to 19-year-old Rodrigo. Her song "drivers license" went viral in early 2021.
Competitors for the album trophy include Rodrigo's "Sour," Kanye West's "Donda," Jon Batiste's "We Are," and Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga's "Love for Sale." Batiste leads all nominees with 11 nods ranging from classical composition and American roots to his music video "Freedom" and album "We Are," which was inspired by the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020.
Last year, the pandemic forced a scaled-down outdoor ceremony without the traditional audience of thousands.
