Who is hosting the Grammys?
The Academy and CBS announced in November 2020 that Trevor Noah from the Daily Show will host the award show.
He formalized the announcement of him hosting the 2021 Grammy’s in a statement saying: “Despite the fact that I am extremely disappointed that the Grammys have refused to have me sing or be nominated for best pop album, I am thrilled to be hosting this auspicious event.
Adding: “I think as a one-time Grammy nominee, I am the best person to provide a shoulder to all the amazing artists who do not win on the night because I too know the pain of not winning the award! (This is a metaphorical shoulder, I’m not trying to catch corona).
“See you at the 63rd Grammys!,” he said.
What did Zayn Malik say about the Grammys?
Former One Direction band member Zayn Malik criticized the Grammys for not nominating any of his songs for an award.
The singer tweeted: “F**k the grammys and everyone associated.
“Unless you shake hands and send gifts, there’s no nomination considerations. Next year I’ll send you a basket of confectionary.”
Additionally, Zayn was not the only artist who has spoken out against the Grammys, as back in November of 2020 the Weeknd displayed his rage.
He wrote at the time: “The Grammys remain corrupt. You owe me, my fans and the industry transparency…”
The 31-year-old’s latest album After Hours featuring the smash hit Blinding Lights has received rave reviews but was also not recognized by the Grammys.
When are the Grammys?
The Grammys will air live on Sunday, March 14 at 8pm ET on CBS.
