There’ll be no Taylor Swift at this years 2015 Grammy Awards–but the Grammys folks have confirmed everyone else stopping by the show, in case you’re still trying to decide to stay in on Sunday night for something that isn’t the Super Bowl.
Katy Perry sure isn’t slowing down after the big game, and is set to perform her power ballad “By the Grace of God.” That probably means no sharks will be on hand. We’re not sure how sexy Beyoncé will be, either, since she’s performing the gospel song “Take My Hand, Precious Lord” as an intro to “Glory” from the Selma soundtrack.
Pharrell Williams and Sam Smith will take solo turns, with the bland Brit then daring to also do a song with Mary J. Blige.
Miranda Lambert has a solo turn, and so does Madonna, who’ll most like cram in some songs from Rebel Hearts, and we sure are sick of that #rebelhearts hashtag.
Kanye West is hitting the Grammys for the first time in six years, with both a solo performance and a turn alongside Paul McCartney and Rihanna for her new single “FourFiveSeconds.”
We don’t know what to expect from a supergroup consisting of Ed Sheeran, Herbie Hancock, John Mayer, and Questlove. We know what to expect from AC/DC’s performance, though–even if they’re missing guitarist Malcolm Young (too ill to tour) and drummer Phil Rudd (too weird to tour).
Ariana Grande, Eric Church, and Sia are also all slated for solo performances, and here’s a list of duets:
Annie Lennox & Hozier
Adam Levine & Gwen Stefani
Lady Gaga & Tony Bennett
Tom Jones & Jessie J
Beck & Chris Martin
Brandy Clark & Dwight Yoakam
We can’t tell you when any of these artists appear during the show, of course, because the Grammys want you to suffer through every minute of the show when it airs on CBS on Sunday, Feb 8th at 8 pm EST. Sorry about that. We’ve got no influence with those Grammys types.
