Grammys 2025 live updates: How to watch, winners and red carpet looks

Stars arrive on the red carpet ahead of 2025 Grammy Awards

The biggest night in music has arrived. The 2025 Grammy Awards are taking centre stage tonight at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, as the world’s biggest stars in pop, rock, and hip-hop gather for a night of celebration and show-stopping performances.

Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, Chappell Roan, and Sabrina Carpenter lead a star-studded list of nominees, while comedian Trevor Noah returns to host for the fifth consecutive year. Early winners so far have included The Beatles, Charli XCX, Carpenter and Lamar.

This year’s ceremony takes place against the backdrop of devastating wildfires that have torn through California in recent weeks. In response, the Recording Academy has pledged to use the event to support local relief efforts, ensuring that music’s biggest stage also serves as a platform for solidarity.

As always, the night will be packed with electrifying performances, with Shakira, Charli XCX, Billie Eilish, Sabrina Carpenter, British star RAYE, and viral breakthrough Teddy Swims among those set to take the stage. Meanwhile, Kanye West has already managed to cause controversy thanks to his wife, Bianca Censori’s outfit.

Absolutely sublime performance from Chappell Roan, who’s up for some of the night’s biggest prizes. Pink Pony Club is her love letter to LA< she says, as well as a celebration of queerness that feels incredibly apt right now (and always).

We have our first awkward Grammys exchange!

Woops, AP’s red carpet presenters had to apologise for cutting off legendary R&B artist Babyface in order to grab Chappell Roan as she was walking past.

The artist born Kenneth Brian Edmonds, 65, handled it with remarkable grace as he was cut off mid-sentence, asking them: “You wanna… Go do that,” before stepping aside to make room for the 26-year-old pop star.
