But “it will always be the Grammy Awards,” said Ben Winston, the program’s executive producer, at the New York Times. “We are always looking at an incredible year of music. We always have any performances that we would have had when we plan the show on January 1st. But of course, we are now thinking about what’s going on in Los Angeles. »»
