The Recording Academy has issued a statement making clear that a tweet which claimed to contain a leaked list of Grammy winners is fake.
A Recording Academy spokesperson told Billboard “There is no legitimacy to this,” adding that the Grammy awards results are not shared, even with Recording Academy staff members, until the day of the Grammy Awards ceremony, when names of the recipients are delivered by Deloitte in sealed envelopes.”
The Recording Academy said it is considering legal action over the tweet and attached video which shows an alleged winners’ list from the Recording Academy’s website.
The 61st Grammy takes place on Sunday February 10 at Los Angeles’ Staples Center.

Hit single All The Stars is up for both record and song of the year, while the soundtrack also competes for the coveted Album of the Year title.
