KEY POINTS

On Grammy Sunday at LA's Crypto.com Arena, host Trevor Noah bids farewell after six years, probably to finally get some sleep. Kendrick Lamar flexes with nine nominations, chasing golden gramophones like it’s Black Friday at a jewelry store. Lady Gaga and super-producers Cirkut and Jack Antonoff lounge with seven nods each, while Bad Bunny and Sabrina Carpenter strut their stuff hoping six nominations translate into trophies — fingers crossed. Predictors bet on Perfume Genius's eye-popping 'Glory' for Best Album Cover, Lady Gaga's 'Mayhem' staging a fiery return to pop chaos for Album of the Year, and Bruno & Rosé’s 'APT.' ready to charm record-of-the-year voters who love a cross-generational K-pop collab. The night promises performances, snubs, and the classic mix of joyous winners vs. soul-crushed hopefuls.
