The Recording Academy and the Black Music Collective will present Mariah Carey and Lenny Kravitz with 2024’s Global Impact Awards, according to Billboard. Carey and Kravitz will accept the trophies on Thursday, February 1, at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.

The Global Impact Award is a CEO Merit Award that recognizes Black music creators whose “dedication to the art form has greatly influenced the industry,” the Recording Academy stated in a press release. Honorees are recognized for their “inspirational legacy of service and celebrated for the myriad ways recipients’ leadership and passion has empowered others to embrace authenticity and contribute to positive change.”

Last year, the Global Impact Award was presented to Missy Elliott, Dr. Dre, Lil Wayne, and Epic Records CEO Sylvia Rhone. The 2024 Grammy Awards take place on Sunday, February 4 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

Mariah Carey is not nominated at the 2024 Grammy Awards, but Terry Hunter got a nod in Best Remixed Recording for his remix of the singer’s “Workin’ Hard.” Kravitz will be at the Grammys on Sunday as one of the show’s many presenters.

Joni Mitchell will be performing at the 2024 Grammy Awards on Sunday, February 4. It’ll be the first time that the 18-time nominee takes the stage at the ceremony. The other performers at the 2024 Grammys are: Burna Boy, Luke Combs, Billie Eilish, Billy Joel, Dua Lipa, Olivia Rodrigo, Travis Scott, and U2, the latter of whom will be performing from the Sphere in Las Vegas.

The 2024 Grammy Awards, hosted by Trevor Noah, broadcast live on CBS from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Mitchell is nominated for Best Folk Album at the 2024 Grammys for Joni Mitchell at Newport (Live). She’s won nine competitive Grammys across her storied career, with the first coming in 1970 for Best Folk Performance for Clouds, and the the most recent arriving in 2022 for Best Historical Album for Archives, Vol. 1: The Early Years (1963-1967).

While Mitchell appeared at the Kennedy Center Honors in 2021, her Grammys appearance in 2022 began a more concerted return to the public eye after having a brain aneurism in 2015. Following her victory, she and Bonnie Raitt introduced Brandi Carlile’s performance at the 2022 Grammys, and, a few months later, she famously performed with Carlile and others at the Newport Folk Festival. The next year, Mitchell played a headline show at Washington’s Gorge Amphitheatre.

N.W.A., Laurie Anderson, and Donna Summer are set to receive 2024 Grammy Lifetime Achievement Awards. They will be honored at this year’s ceremony in Los Angeles on February 4 alongside fellow recipients Gladys Knight, Tammy Wynette, and the Clark Sisters.

Trevor Noah is coming back to host the 2024 Grammy Awards. Previously, the former Daily Show host helmed the ceremony for three consecutive years following Alicia Keys’ run as host in 2019 and 2020. The 2024 Grammy Awards take place on Sunday, February 4, in Los Angeles.

“I think it’s also important to acknowledge something. I’m hosting the Grammys,” Noah shared on his podcast (per Variety). “I’m excited about that, yeah, it’s a lot of fun. I enjoy the Grammys because I get to watch the show in person and then experience and comment on it in person while it is happening.”

Taylor Swift, SZA, Victoria Monét, and Phoebe Bridgers (thanks to Boygenius) lead the 2024 Grammy Awards nominations. Included this year are new award categories, surprising first-time nods, and a return to eight nominees in the Big Four categories. See the full list of nominees.

After expanding the Big Four categories to include 10 nominees apiece in 2022, the Recording Academy has reversed the change for the 2024 Grammy Awards. That brings it back to eight nominees in each of Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best New Artist. (Until 2018, there were just five nominees apiece in those categories.) The number of nominees under the Album of the Year banner will further dwindle thanks to a new eligibility rule: A featured musician, producer, songwriter, or engineer on an album will need credits on at least 20 percent of a nominated album to get the nod. For 2022, that percentage had fallen from the usual 33 percent to zero, meaning any contributor would get in on the nomination.

Earlier this week, the Academy added three new categories: Best Alternative Jazz Album, Best Pop Dance Recording, and Best African Music Performance. Two categories—producer of the year, nonclassical; and the recently added songwriter of the year, nonclassical—have also been moved into the general field, meaning all voting members can vote on them. Those are the first additions to the general field since 1959.
