There have been calls for the Grammys to be postponed due to the Los Angeles Fires. However, that's not going to happen!
The 2025 Grammys are still set for Feb. 2 at Crypto.com Arena, the Recording Academy announced on Monday (Jan. 13).
Other Grammy Week events, such as the MusiCares Person of the Year event and the Recording Academy’s Special Merit Awards, are up in the air at this point.
In a joint statement, Recording Academy and MusiCares CEO Harvey Mason Jr. and Tammy Hurt, the chair of the academy’s board of trustees, addressed the trauma that has befallen the region since the first fires broke out on Tuesday Jan. 7, whipped by ferocious Santa Ana winds.
The statement said: “Our hearts go out to everyone affected by the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. This city is our home, and we mourn the loss of life and destruction that have come to it in recent days.
The Recording Academy and MusiCares launched the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort last week with an initial $1 million donation to support music creatives and professionals.
As for the nominees in the best reggae album category, they include: Shenseea's "Never get Late Here", Vybz Kartel's "Party With Me", Collie Buddz' "Take It Easy", "Evolution" by The Wailers, and music inspired by the Bob Marley: One Love biopic!
