Ariana Grande was previously set to perform. However, due to a disagreement with Grammy producers over which songs she would perform, Grande will not be performing at nor attending the ceremony.
An insider tells Variety that Grande felt “insulted” after producers initially refused to allow her to perform “7 Rings,” the latest single from her forthcoming album “Thank U, Next” (which arrives Friday, two days before the Grammys). A compromise was reached whereby “7 Rings” would be part of a medley, but Grande pulled out after producers insisted that the second song be of their choosing.
Hosted by Alicia Keys, The 61st Annual Grammy Awards will be broadcast live from STAPLES Center in Los Angeles Sunday, Feb. 10 (8:00-11:30 PM, live ET/5:00-8:30 PM, live PT) on CBS.
