And the winner is…
The 2024 Grammy Awards get underway tonight, and as always, a number of award categories are not televised. Many artists are presented with their Grammy award wins in a pre-show ceremony titled, the Grammy Premiere Ceremony, which is held at the Peacock Theater. Meanwhile, the main event will kick off live from the Crypto.com Arena later tonight.
That being said a number of country music, Americana, and roots artists (what exactly is the difference?) have already taken home some awards, including Chris Stapleton and Jason Isbell, with two apiece.
