Travis Scott, Burna Boy, and Luke Combs have joined the list of performers set to take the stage at the 2024 Grammy Awards. CBS made the announcement during the fourth quarter of Sunday’s NFL game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills. The three artists will be joining Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, and Olivia Rodrigo, who were already announced.
All three of the new artists are up for awards at the ceremony. Scott is nominated in the best rap album category for his latest project, Utopia. Despite having 10 nominations throughout his career, winning at this year's ceremony would give him his first award. Combs is up for best country solo performance for his version of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car.” Burna Boy is up for the most awards of all three, being nominated in four categories. These include best global music album (I Told Them…), best African music performance (“City Boys”), best global music performance (“Alone”), and best melodic rap performance (“Sittin’ on Top of the World”). CBS plans to announce more performers in the next two weeks as the ceremony approaches.
