It could be later than usual.

With the rising number of Covid 19 cases around the world, it’s looking like the Grammy awards may be getting pushed back.

Following the news that the Critics Choice Awards have been postponed due to the high spread of the Omicron variant, reports are now suggesting that the Grammy might be following suit.

Reports are saying that it could be months before the awards take place as the variant has now spread rapidly through Los Angeles.

The biggest night in music is set to take place on January 31, 2022 at the Crypto.com arena, with the biggest names in music expected to be there.

According to the entertainment website Showbiz 411, the event’s organisers might have to reschedule the show until either March or April due to the pandemic and are already considering holding the event in alternative venues like the Hollywood Bowl.

There are also reports that artists are reluctant to commit to coming to the award ceremony due to fears of Covid 19.

The Grammys has yet to make any comment on this and no new date for the Critics Choice Awards has been set, with the event meant to go ahead on January 9th.

Jon Batiste is leading with 11 nominations, while Justin Bieber, Doja Car and H.E.R all have eight. Following them is Billie Eilish with seven, the same amount Olivia Rodrigo has bagged.
