BTS performs on stage during the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards broadcast in March.
It feels like the Oscars just happened, but the next big awards show is here.
The 64th Grammy Awards take place on Sunday. All the big performers will be there, although Beyoncé isn't nominated and Kanye West is barred. Jungkook, the youngest member of BTS, had tested positive for Covid-19, but was reportedly confirmed to be available for BTS' scheduled performance.
The pandemic saw the Grammys delayed from their Jan. 31 original ceremony date. This year, performances will take place live on stage, instead of last year's hybrid Zoom in event.
Here's everything you need to know about the 2022 Grammys. We'll be following the show live here.

How to watch
The Grammys will be televised on CBS . If you've cut the cord (a cheaper option with major perks), you can livestream on YouTube TV , FuboTV , Hulu with Live TV and DirecTV Stream.
You can also stream the show live via Paramount+ for Premium subscribers for $10/month (the $5 ad-supported tier doesn't support live CBS).
With an excellent channel selection, easy-to-use interface and best-in-class cloud DVR, at $65 per month, YouTube TV is the best cable TV replacement. Read our YouTube TV review.

With a series of price hikes has come a number of additional channels, including access to Disney Plus and ESPN Plus included in the new $70 price. But despite all that, Hulu Plus Live TV is still second banana to our top live TV streaming premium pick, YouTube TV. Read our Hulu Plus Live TV review.
Now on its fourth name in three years, DirecTV Stream ties for most expensive at $70 (the other is Hulu Plus Live TV). The service does have its pluses, though -- for example, it includes the flipper-friendly ability to swipe left and right to change channels. Additionally it includes some channels the other services can't, including nearly 250 PBS stations nationwide. Read our DirecTV Stream review.
There's a lot to like about FuboTV -- it offers a wide selection of channels and its sports focus makes it especially attractive to soccer fans or NBA, NHL and MLB fans who live in an area served by one of FuBoTV's RSNs. It's also a great choice for NFL fans since it's one of three services, alongside YouTube TV and Hulu, with NFL Network and optional RedZone. Read our FuboTV review.
