Nominees Who Performed and the Biggest Unannounced Surprises
The Grammy Awards are often a platform for nominees to make a statement, and the 67th ceremony was no exception. Beyond the established performers, several other major nominees who had significant wins or nominations were either confirmed to perform or were strongly rumored to have been approached. While not every top-tier nominee performed, the presence of artists like Beyoncé (who won Album of the Year for *Cowboy Carter*) and Kendrick Lamar (who won multiple awards for *GNX*) dominated the narrative, even if they weren't on the main performance roster.
The performance lineup was strategically crafted to feature artists with the most current cultural momentum, ensuring a fresh and relevant telecast. The inclusion of artists like Sabrina Carpenter and Charli XCX was directly linked to their Album of the Year nominations, showcasing the Recording Academy's commitment to the new generation of music creators. The blend of established names like Stevie Wonder and emerging talents like Chappell Roan is a key component of the Grammy's strategy to maintain its relevance.
Key entities that were major nominees but did not perform included André 3000 (*New Blue Sun*), Bad Bunny (*Debí Tirar Más Fotos*), and Jacob Collier (who instead performed in the Quincy Jones tribute). The absence of an official performance from the night’s biggest winner, Beyoncé, was a point of discussion, but her acceptance speeches for her historic wins provided their own powerful moments. The focus remained on the live acts that showcased the year's diverse musical achievements, from the country-pop crossover of Lainey Wilson to the alternative rock soul of Brittany Howard.
The 67th Grammys successfully balanced honoring its history with the Quincy Jones tribute and celebrating its future with the groundbreaking performances from the new wave of pop and alternative artists.
