Organizers of the 2021 Grammy Awards have postponed the event originally scheduled for January 31st due to concerns over the spread of COVID-19.
Multiple sources have told Rolling Stone magazine that organizers are aiming to hold the award events sometime in March but no new date has officially been fixed.
The Grammys had already planned on a limited show for 2021, without audience and only allowing presenters and performers on-site during the show.
Nominated artists wouldn’t have been allowed on-site either, likely leading to a situation similar to the 2020 Emmys where nominees appeared and accepted awards remotely.
The 2021 Grammy nominations were led by Beyoncé who picked up nine nominations, while Dua Lipa, Taylor Swift and Roddy Ricch followed behind with six nominations each.
It remains unclear if original host Trevor Noah is still set to host this year’s show as representatives for Noah and the Recording Academy did not immediately reply to requests for comment
