The Grammy Awards are upon us. In just a few weeks, Cardi B will likely win her first (of many) Grammys for Invasion of Privacy, one of the year’s biggest albums (she’s up for five awards). Or maybe you’ll see Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper take home Best Pop Duo/Group for “Shallow,” the song you’ve mastered at every karaoke party since A Star Is Born was released.
Hopefully, the 2019 ceremony will include fun moments like the time Beyoncé was caught at her other job: being Blue Ivy Carter’s juice box and snack holder.
Below, all the important stuff you need to know about Music’s Biggest Night:
When is this all happening?
The major awards will be handed out live on Sunday, February 10 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT from the STAPLES Center in Los Angeles. CBS promises HDTV magic and 5.1 surround sound, so it’ll feel like you’re there—except you’ll be in your PJs and while everyone on TV struggles to sit without ruining their fancy clothes. (You’re the real winner here, TBH.)
Who’s hosting?
Alicia Keys will be the master of ceremonies, following the footsteps of recent hosts including James Corden (2017, 2018) and LL Cool J (2012-2016). Of course, Alicia is no stranger to the Grammys stage—she’s taken home a whopping 15 Grammy Awards, NBD.

Where can I watch?
If CBS on TV is not an option, the Grammys are streaming on the CBS All Access platform (website and app). A cable login is not required, but you do need to a CBS All Access subscription, which comes with a free one week trial.
What about the red carpet?
While nothing official has been announced yet, expect red carpet programs to air on E!, Facebook Live, and CBS prior to the ceremony. FYI: For the 2018 Grammys, E! began its red carpet coverage four hours before the show, so if you’re having a viewing party, plan ahead.
Anything else?
This is the first year the Grammys expanded the number of nominees in the General Field (Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Best New Artist) from five to eight in an effort to make the ceremony more diverse and inclusive.
