Grammys Will Be Held Outside With No Audience

Sources tell Varietythat everything is subject to change, but right now, the plan is to hold the ceremony in the outdoor part of the Los Angeles Convention Center, using the Staples Center — which is where the show is usually held — as a backdrop.  There won’t be an audience, though there will be some kind of red carpet broadcast with performers and presenters.

Many of the performances are likely to be pre-recorded with a few live performances.

As previously reported, Beyoncé is this year’s leading nominee with nine nods, while Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa and rapper Roddy Ricch each have six.
