1/6/22: The 2022 GRAMMY Awards ceremony, originally scheduled for January 31st, has been postponed.

The Recording Academy announced the rescheduled event due to “the uncertainty surrounding the Omicron variant.” The announce follows last year’s postponed GRAMMYs ceremony as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This year’s rescheduled date has yet to be announced.

Read the full statement from the Recording Academy and CBS below:

After careful consideration and analysis with city and state officials, health and safety experts, the artist community and our many partners, the Recording Academy® and CBS have postponed the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards® Show. The health and safety of those in our music community, the live audience, and the hundreds of people who work tirelessly to produce our show remains our top priority. Given the uncertainty surrounding the Omicron variant, holding the show on January 31 simply contains too many risks. We look forward to celebrating Music’s Biggest Night® on a future date, which will be announced soon.

This year’s 64th annual ceremony was slated to highlight the music releases of stalwarts and newbies in the music industry including Justin Bieber, Jon Batiste, Brandi Carlile, Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, Kanye West, and more.
