CBS will air this year's Grammy Awards on Feb. 4, live from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. It'll be a star-studded night, as usual, with Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus among the recurring names in the top categories.
It'll be the 66th Grammy Awards. The first ceremony was held in 1959. The Best Country Song category dates back to 1965, when it was first won by Roger Miller for "Dang Me." That same year, Best Country Album was first awarded; it, too, went to Miller. Best Country Solo Performance (first won by Swift for "Mean") and Best Country Group Performance (first won by The Civil Wars for "Barton Hollow") were added in 2012.
Grammy festivities aren't limited to the 3½-hour main broadcast. In addition to events held earlier in the week, there will be a premiere ceremony in the afternoon, during which most winners in the 98 different categories will be announced. Typically, a majority of the country, bluegrass, folk and Americana awards are handed out during the premiere ceremony.
Read on for everything we know so far about the 2024 Grammy Awards, from the nominees to the host as well as how to follow the day's festivities in real time. We'll update you soon on who's performing and presenting during the main broadcast.

For the fourth year in a row, comedian, podcaster and former "The Daily Show" host Trevor Noah will be the master of ceremonies.
"I'm hosting the Grammys. I'm excited about that, yeah," he saidon his "What Now? With Trevor Noah" podcast. "It's a lot of fun. I enjoy the Grammys because I get to watch the show in person and then experience and comment on it in person while it's happening."
For the first time as a host, Noah will also be up for an award (Best Comedy Album for I Wish You Would). He'll be the fifth host — and the first in almost 20 years — to double as a nominee, following Kenny Rogers (1980), Paul Simon (1981), John Denver (1984) and Queen Latifah (2005).

Most notably, Jelly Roll is up for the prestigious, all-genre Best New Artist award — a category that dates back to 1960 and has been won by everyone from the Beatles to the Zac Brown Band. He also shares a nomination (Best Country Duo/Group Performance for "Save Me") with Lainey Wilson.
Jelly Roll responded to the Nov. 10 nomination news on social media with an emotional and candid video.
"I'm not sure if I'll post this or not because I'm so emotional, but the greatest honor an artist can ever hear is that they've been nominated for a Grammy," he said. "And I got to hear that this morning. I haven't cried like this since my daddy died. I tried to make this video seven times, y'all."
Overall, SZA leads all acts with nine nominations. Phoebe Bridgers, Victoria Monet and Serban Ghenea are tied for second with seven apiece.
