The upcoming 67th Grammy Awards, set for February 2 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, will honor top artists including Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, while also acknowledging the recent devastating wildfires. Ben Sisario from The New York Times provided insights into the decision to proceed with the awards, despite calls for postponement from some in the music industry. The Grammys organization believes the event could serve as a rallying point for resilience in the community after the crisis.
In the immediate crisis, there were a lot of voices, privately, calling on the Grammys to postpone. People were worried about safety, but also if holding the Grammys would be a bad look for the music business.
The contrary opinion, which was the opinion of the Grammys organization, was that they hoped the show was far enough out, and that there was potential for the Grammys to be a rallying event, a symbol of resilience for Los Angeles.
