The 2021 Grammy Awards Show Has Been Postponed This Year
If you were planning on watching the Grammys this weekend, it looks like you’ll wait have to a little bit longer to watch your favorite singer hopefully win a Grammy.
The ongoing pandemic has paused many events in 2020 and it looks like the Grammys is now being added to that long list.
The event which celebrates the best in music had been originally set to air on January 31st at the Staples Center in Los Angeles with host Trevor Noah from “The Daily Show”.
However, the award show has been officially postponed according to the Recording Academy, CBS and show producers.
“The deteriorating COVID situation in Los Angeles, with hospital services being overwhelmed, ICUs having reached capacity, and new guidance from state and local governments have all led us to conclude that postponing our show was the right thing to do,” the academy said in a statement to NBC News.

Just to name a few, top nominees for this years 63rd annual show include artists such as Beyoncé, Dua Lipa, Roddy Ricch and Taylor Swift!
The statement released postponing the Grammys comes one day after SAG-AFTRA, a union that represents actors and media professionals issued a production hold in COVID-plagued Southern California.
With the Grammys set aside for now, the Golden Globes is next up on the list which means the ceremony will be the first award show to kick off 2021, which isn’t too bad of a replacement if you think about.
In case you were curious, the Golden Globes will be aired on February 28th in Beverly Hills, California if all remains the same.
You can catch the Grammys to take place on Sunday, March 14th of this year! So for now, hold on to that popcorn.
