The Recording Academy shared that the award ceremony will still air on February 2 despite the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires. The Recording Academy announced the show will go on but now with an effort to raise money for wildfire relief. The telecast will raise funds to aid wildfire relief efforts and honour the bravery of the first responders who have risked their lives in combating the flames.

"We mourn the loss of life and destruction that have come to our city in recent days. In response to this crisis, we are committed to providing ongoing assistance, including a USD 1 million donation that has already helped raise over USD 2 million in emergency aid to those in need," said Harvey Mason Jr, CEO of the Recording Academy, in a letter sent to Academy members, as per The Hollywood Reporter.

Mason Jr and Tammy Hurt, the chair of the board of trustees, expressed their deep concern for those affected by the fires and emphasized the importance of the Grammy telecast this year. "This year's show will carry a renewed sense of purpose - raising additional funds to support wildfire relief efforts and honouring the bravery and dedication of first responders who risk their lives to protect ours," they said, per The Hollywood Reporter.

The Grammy will take place with Beyonce leading the noms in 10 categories. Other artists who have received multiple nominations include Taylor Swift, Charli XCX, Post Malone, Sabrina Carpenter, Kendrick Lamar, and Chappell Roan.

The show, whose host has yet to be announced, will air live on CBS starting at 8 pm E.T. from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
