Also, or the first time in history, an entire rock category at the Grammys is filled with women — The Best Rock Performance nominees include Fiona Apple, Big Thief, Phoebe Bridgers, Haim, Brittany Howard and Grace Potter.

And there should be some excitement over Andrew Watt among the Producer nominees for his work on Ozzy Osbourne’s Ordinary Man album.

The Grammys were originally slated to take place on Sunday, Jan. 31, but were postponed until tonight (March 14) because of concerns over the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
