From playfully acknowledging Beyoncé's potential absence to poking fun at Canadian artists facing trade tariffs, Noah set the tone for an unforgettable ceremony. He also delved into the pop wars brewing around Taylor Swift's Album of the Year nomination and offered a playful warning to the singer about the fervent support of her fanbase, the Swifties.

Host Trevor Noah took the stage at the 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California, on February 2, 2025, injecting his signature wit and humor into the music industry's biggest night. In his opening monologue, Noah quipped, 'We're going to be honoring the best in music as voted on by the 13,000 members of the Recording Academy and 20 million illegal immigrants.' He continued, 'And tonight, no matter what happens, history will be made.
' While acknowledging the mystery surrounding Beyoncé's potential attendance, Noah expressed his unwavering support for the music icon. 'Queen Bee is back,' he exclaimed. 'She's back at the Grammys with 11 nominations this year. She could win Album of the Year for the first time ever for her smash country album. I don't care what anyone says, that's how you know you clocked the game, when you can go into any genre and still be one of the best.'Noah also turned his attention to other noteworthy musical moments. He poked fun at the potential challenges faced by Canadian artists, such as Drake, due to ongoing trade tariffs. 'We can't afford a new tour,' he joked. 'Maple syrup is about to be $50.' He lauded Lady Gaga for her prescient album title, 'Chromatica,' which seemed to foreshadow the chaotic year ahead. Speaking of mayhem and Album of the Year contenders, Noah couldn't resist acknowledging the pop wars brewing around the show, particularly Taylor Swift's bid for Album of the Year with her latest release. 'If Taylor wins, she could become the first artist ever to win album of the year five times,' Noah declared. 'Which means she would break the record of four wins set all the way back in 2024 by Taylor Swift.' He playfully warned Swift, 'I'm just going to say Taylor, if you break Taylor's record, you know the Swifties are going to come for you. You don't want to mess with them like an army of Kendrick Lamars, all right.' The 2025 Grammy Awards promised a night filled with unforgettable musical performances and poignant moments. All awards not presented during the pre-show ceremony, including Best New Artist, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Record of the Year, will be handed out during the show. A star-studded lineup of nominees, including Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Billie Eilish, Charli XCX, Raye, Doechii, Shaboozey, Teddy Swims, Benson Boone, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, and more, will grace the stage throughout the evening. A philanthropic touch will also be woven into the festivities as the 2025 Grammy Awards doubles as a fundraising event.
