Occasional Digest - a story for you

THE 2024 Grammy Awards are here – and history could be made tonight.

Comedian Trevor Noah is hosting this year’s ceremony, which is set to feature performances from artists including Joni Mitchell, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Luke Combs, and more.

SZA is also performing tonight as she leads with nine nominations. If she wins at least seven of her categories, she’s set to become the female artist with the most wins in a single night – beating Adele and Beyoncé, who hold that record with six wins each.

Going in to the ceremony as the most-nominated artist, SZA already won two awards at the Premiere Ceremony for Best Progressive R&B Album and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.

While Taylor Swift won’t be taking the stage, she’s up for six categories and could break a Grammys record.

If Taylor wins Album of the Year for her album Midnights, she’ll become the first person in history to win the award four times.

Miley Cyrus won the first award of the night for Best Pop Solo Performance for Flowers.
