The 2025 Grammys season is in full swing. The 2025 Grammy nominations have been officially announced, leading up to Music's Biggest Night.
The main event: The 2025 Grammy Awards, officially known as the 67th Grammy Awards, will take place live at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 2, broadcasting live on the CBS Television Network and streaming live and on demand on Paramount+.
Before the awards, Final Round Voting will take place from December 12, 2024 to January 3, 2025. The Recording Academy's Voting Members, composed of music creators, including artists, producers, songwriters, and engineers determine the Grammy winners across all categories revealed on Grammy night. This thorough process underscores the integrity of the Grammy Awards as music's only industry-recognized, peer-voted honor.
This year, the Recording Academy, the organization behind the Grammy Awards, introduced several key updates to the annual Grammy Awards process, including adjustments to eligibility criteria and Category renaming, which will all go into effect immediately at the 2025 Grammys.
Fans can also look forward to the debut of the Harry Belafonte Best Song For Social Change Award, which was recently renamed and recategorized in honor of the late entertainment industry icon and social justice champion Harry Belafonte.
All these changes are designed to enhance the integrity and inclusivity of the Grammy Awards and reflect the Recording Academy's commitment to supporting and progressing the evolving music industry.
