The Grammys were originally set to air in January but were postponed by the Recording Academy due to a spike in coronavirus cases in California.“Despite the fact that I am extremely disappointed that the Grammys have refused to have me sing or be nominated for best pop album, I am thrilled to be hosting this auspicious event. I think as a one-time Grammy nominee, I am the best person to provide a shoulder to all the amazing artists who do not win on the night because I too know the pain of not winning the award!” Noah said in a statement in November 2020. He then joked, “This is a metaphorical shoulder, I'm not trying to catch corona.”[sendtonews type="float" key="7mcZWLs13G-2839852-14453"]While Beyoncé was nominated for the most awards,the “Black Parade” songstress isn’t one of the performers tapped for Sunday’s broadcast.
