Here’s what we know so far: Offering a mixed bag of fresh faces and GRAMMY veterans, some of the hottest names on the Billboard charts have landed a spot on the 2015 nominations list.
For betting fans, this year's odds may be especially hard to predict. Vying for Best Pop Vocal Album are six beloved artists with completely different sounds – Coldplay, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Ed Sheeran, Ariana Grande and Sam Smith – while two of the biggest women in music right now, Taylor Swift and Iggy Azalea, are in the running for Record of the Year.
The GRAMMYs will be held on Feb. 8, 2015 and will air live on City at 8 p.m. ET.
Entertainment hosts Dina Pugliese and Ed Robertson will be on the GRAMMYs red carpet bringing you up-to-the-minute fashion updates and exclusive interviews!
