With the rise of the Omicron variant across the globe, the Recording Academy has decided to postpone this year’s Grammy Awards. This is the second consecutive year that the ceremony has been postponed. The 2022 Grammys was scheduled for January 31st at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena (formerly the Staples Center). An Academy confirmed to Variety that the new date is still to be determined.
