AI Summary

The 68th annual Grammy Awards will air live from Los Angeles' Crypto.com Arena on CBS and Paramount+ on Sunday. The Recording Academy is implementing several changes, including the return of the best album cover category after 53 years, renaming best country album to best contemporary country album, and adding a best traditional country album category. According to Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason jr., these changes reflect member requests and are not a response to specific past wins. The Academy has also focused on diversifying its electorate, inviting all Latin Grammy voting members to join. Viewers can expect a show packed with 18 or 19 performances from a mix of new artists, established legends, and current superstars.
