I guess we should not be super shocked, but we're hearing that the planned 2021 Recording Academy Grammy's have been postponed because of the spread of COVID-19 in Los Angeles.
Industry trade publication RAMP says "multiple sources have confirmed to Rolling Stone that the 2021 Grammy Awards, which were originally scheduled for January 31, have been postponed due to concerns over the spread of COVID-19 in the Los Angeles area."
Ramp goes on to quote Rolling Stone, saying "The Grammys had already planned on a limited show for 2021, forgoing an audience completely and only allowing presenters and performers on-site during the show. Nominated artists wouldn’t have been allowed on-site either, likely leading to a situation similar to the 2020 Emmys where nominees appeared and accepted awards remotely."
The show will now run March 21st. The original show was set to be hosted by Trevor Noah from the daily show, no word on if he'll still host.
