SZA is the latest performer to be added to the docket for the 66th annual Grammy Awards, taking place on Feb. 4.
Her sophomore album “SOS,” released in Dec. 2022, is up for album of the year, while its smash single “Kill Bill” is included in record of the year and song of the year. Elsewhere, various songs from “SOS” are nominated in the pop and R&B categories.
The 2024 Grammy Awards may be a victorious moment for SZA, who in the past has been snubbed by the Recording Academy. In 2018, she was nominated for five awards connected with her debut album “Ctrl,” yet lost in all categories. She did collect one Grammy in 2022 for “Kiss Me More,” her collaboration with Doja Cat, but has largely been overlooked by the institution.
In addition to SZA, previously announced performers include Joni Mitchell making her Grammys performance debut, as well as U2 (in a remote appearance from Las Vegas’ Sphere), Billy Joel, Dua Lipa, Olivia Rodrigo, Luke Combs, Travis Scott and Burna Boy.
