Alicia Keys Helps Announce The 2020 Grammy Nominations: See The List!
Grammy nominations are in! The nominees for the 2020 Grammy awards were announced on Wednesday by Recording Academy President/CEO Deborah Dugan and Chair of the Board of Trustees Harvey Mason Jr. with a little help from artist Alicia Keys, Bebe Rexha and “CBS This Morning” host Gayle King.
Alicia Keys will return to host the 62nd annual Grammy Awards despite saying last year that she would not return to the stage. “You know, honestly, I feel so good. I feel like now I know more than ever. I’m familiar with the space on multiple levels. I’m familiar as an artist,” the 15-time Grammy winner told Gayle King on “CBS This Morning.”
“I feel more ready to like bust the roof off and—I feel good,” she continued. Alicia then continued by reading off the nominees for one very exciting category—best new artist! The “No One” singer, whose most recent track “Time Machine” dropped just this morning, could hardly contain her excitement to help out with the announcement.
