Eilish, Roan, Charli XCX and Carpenter are all set to perform tonight, too, along with Cynthia Erivo, RAYE and Shakira, in addition to plenty of other feministic features throughout the night.Cynthia Erivo is one of many performers tonight. When asked what she’s performing, she said: “I’m wearing a clue.”
“I’m so proud of 'Radical Optimism' and where it’s brought me. I love that album and I’m having the time of my life performing it live, and I’ve been able to do things that I thought I could only dream of this year, so I’m really grateful,” she told the publication. "As a woman, I’ve always tried to dim myself for other people or maybe not spoken up for myself when I feel like I should have," she said."I think that’s why a lot of women are here — they’re realizing how powerful they truly are.""Bruckner: Symphony No.
Singer and musician Scott Hoying: “People love music. Music is an escape. Music is healing and it’s an opportunity to raise money.

There are 85 awards being handed out at the pre-show alone, and the total number of Grammys being awarded tonight will total 94, meaning only nine awards will be handed out at the main event, which will likely feel more focused on performances. “If you want to change your life, you have to choose yourself. Selfishness is actually the highest form of self respect,” Long, who had just performed minutes ago, said. “So if you’re stuck in yesterday’s regrets or tomorrow’s fears, put all your attention on what you can do in this moment, one tiny thing.”The Venezuelan rock band Rawayana won a Grammy for best Latin rock or alternative album for their record"¿Quién trae las cornetas?.

“We are still looking back at an incredible year of music. We are still having performances that we would have had when we were planning the show on Jan. 1. But of course we’re reflecting now on what’s going on in Los Angeles.”
