On Jan. 5, the music industry group explained their decision to postpone: “The health
and safety of those in our music community, the live audience, and the hundreds of
people who work tirelessly to produce our show remains our top priority. Given the
uncertainty surrounding the Omicron variant, holding the show on January 31 simply
contains too many risks.”
They added, “We look forward to celebrating Music’s Biggest Night on a future date,
which will be announced soon.”
Sources had also told Page Six that the Recording Academy was seeking a new venue
to host the telecast after losing their booking at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
The Grammys is one of several high-profile events in entertainment rocked by the
latest COVID-19 surge, including the 2022 Golden Globes on Jan. 9, which nixed the
red carpet and cameras this year. The Sundance Film Festival was also transformed
into a digital-only event — for the second year in a row — after previous plans to meet
in Park City, Utah, were canceled due to the Omicron variant.
