The 68th Grammy Awards are here, and the biggest stars in music are walking the red carpet. This year’s ceremony, which takes place on Feb. 1 at 5 p.m. PT, is held at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
Rap superstar Kedrick Lamar, who took home five awards at last year’s show, leads all artists with nine nominations.
