The concert, which was hosted by Two-time GRAMMY winner LL Cool J and six-time GRAMMY winner Taylor Swift, announced nominations in several categories as well as featured performances by past GRAMMY winners and/or nominees – an exciting lineup of performances from the likes of Band Perry, Fun., Janelle Monáe, Hunter Hayes, Maroon 5 and Ne-Yo.
The Black Keys‘ Dan Auerbach, Fun., Jay-Z, Mumford & Sons, Frank Ocean and Kanye West led the 55th GRAMMY Awards field with six nods each.
