Pop darling Sabrina Carpenter made waves with her “little” single before Coachella, “Espresso.” Since then, it’s been up since then, as the release of her album Short n’ Sweet earned her six nominations, including Best New Artist, Song of the Year, Album of the Year, and Record of the Year. 

The inventor of “Brat Summer,” Charli xcx, will hit the stage in what is slated to be a show-stopping performance – lots of green screens included. The artist is up for seven awards, including two of the “big four,” Album of the Year and Record of the Year.

Newcomer Benson Boone, who’s up for Best New Artist, will also perform – most likely his breakout hit “Beautiful Things,” which had lover girls in tears all year long. 

Superstar Billie Eilish will return to the Grammy stage at some point during the night. Although, we should expect to see her more than once as she’s up for a slew of awards and her award show track record is pretty strong. 

Another newcomer, Doechii, will perform her biggest hits as she’s up for three awards: Best Rap Album, Best New Artist, and Best Rap Performance. 

The Midwestern Princess Chappell Roan is gearing up for the night and given her past performances from the VMAs and Saturday Night Live, fans are extremely excited at what’s to come.
