Prior to their official live 2019 award show in Los Angeles, California, the Grammys released a string of awards for a total of 10 categories during their pre-Grammy livestream. This year’s award ceremony, hosted at the Staples Center, is taking a different approach, with organizers focusing on providing more live performances and less distribution of actual awards.
The show, hosted by Alicia Keys for the first time, will only have a total of 9 awards being given out live on television, but will have several performances by Post Malone, Cardi B, Camila Cabello, and more.
Here is the list of pre-Grammy Award Show winners, as per Rolling Stone:
