Follow Live: Grammy 2024 Winners

Music’s biggest night is back! But for classical, jazz, and folk fans (and those interested in the vast majority of the results), it’s the daytime that offers the biggest pull.

The Grammys are televised every year, but the award winners announced live on TV represent a small sliver of those nominated. In particular, winners for classical, jazz, folk, blues, and other musical genres are announced earlier in the day, at the Grammys Premiere Ceremony.
