The 58th annual Grammy Awards are set to kick off on Monday (Feb. 15) and the 2016 ceremony is stacked with some of the biggest names in music. Two-time Grammy Award winning artist LL Cool J returns to preside over "Music's Biggest Night" for the fifth year in a row, according to an announcement on the Grammy's official website, and mega pop stars Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber and Adele are just three of the artists that will grace the stage with performances.
Hip-hop artist Kendrick Lamar leads with a total of 11 nominations, and he could make history if he wins Song of the Year for his track "Alright," according to the Salt Lake City Tribune, as he would become the first rapper to take home the coveted award. Swift is tied for seven award nominations with R&B singer The Weeknd, and they both will go head to head against Lamar for Album of the Year.
Lamar and The Weeknd will be joining Swift and Adele as the night's performers, including four-time Grammy nominees the Alabama Shakes, pop stars Rihanna and Meghan Trainor, and country artists Carrie Underwood and Luke Bryan, according to an announcement on the Grammy's official website. Lady Gaga will pay tribute to the late music icon David Bowie with a special performance, and the remaining members of classic rock band The Eagles will pay tribute to its late singer and guitarist Glenn Frey.
The event will take place in Los Angeles at the Staples Center on CBS, and the network will provide a live online stream of the entire ceremony beginning at 3 p.m. EST via CBS All Access. E! News will provide additional coverage of the red carpet beginning at 4 p.m. as well. The awards ceremony is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. on CBS.
