Here’s when Grammy Awards 2022 will take place

The 2021 awards, which were originally scheduled to take place in January, were moved to March 14 due to a surge in coronavirus cases in Southern California.

Washington: After delaying the proceedings for almost two months and coming up with different ideas to put on a live show during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the Grammys are going back to normal with the 2022 awards ceremony.

As per Variety, the music’s biggest night is set to take place on January 31, 2022, from Los Angeles’ Staples Center and air live on CBS and Paramount+, with the show set to be available later on-demand on the ViacomCBS streaming service.

The Recording Academy on Wednesday announced the date for the 2022 Grammy Awards. However, what is less usual for the 2022 awards ceremony is that the show is taking place on a Monday for the first time since 2016. The show was moved to Monday that year to avoid Valentine’s Day, which fell on Sunday, the day before.

The 2021 awards, which were originally scheduled to take place in January, were moved to March 14 due to a surge in coronavirus cases in Southern California.

Despite the challenges posed by holding a major awards show during a pandemic, the 2021 Grammy Awards were considered a success in every category except television ratings, which have sagged for every such event during the pandemic.

New executive producer Ben Winston brought a fresh approach to the three-plus-hour-long show and managed to fill the socially distanced, outdoor rooms with strings of talented celebrities that included Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Harry Styles, and many more.
