THE 55TH ANNUAL GRAMMY AWARDS
CBS, 8:00 p.m. ET
LL Cool J returns as host, but on this show it’s the performers, not the host, who generate the majority of the excitement. Among the scheduled performers tonight, as always, are some fascinating pairings – including Dr. John and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band with the Black Keys. And Alicia Keys and Maroon 5. And Elton John and Ed Sheeran. And Bruno Mars, Rihanna (pictured), and Sting. It gives whole new meaning to the term “plays well with others.” And there are some solo acts, too, including Kelly Clarkson, The Lumineers, Taylor Swift, Mumford & Sons, Justin Timberlake, and fun.
