Taylor Swift 2023 Grammy Awards Performance Not Happening, 'Big' Performers Not Interested?

Weekend is almost coming, which means the Grammy Awards 2023 is already here.

As of this writing, only a handful of performers have been confirmed to grace the Grammy stage on Feb. 5, 2023, at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California.

The Recording Academy has confirmed that Bad Bunny, Mary J. Blige, Brandi Carlile, Luke Combs, Steve Lacy, Lizzo, Sam Smith, Kim Petras, and Harry Styles.

Meanwhile, big stars have not yet confirmed their performance or their presence on the show.

But perhaps the biggest wait of all time was Beyonce and Taylor Swift's attendance note.

Beyonce has made headlines in the past months as she graced the Dubai stage for her million-dollar performance. Since then, fans were expecting that she would bring the same spectacle on the Grammy Stage, especially with her Renaissance world tour coming up.

As per Taylor Swift, per Variety sources, will not be performing on the show, but her attendance is still up in the air. According to a Hits Daily Double source, she along with Queen B has been on continuous negotiations to perform on the show.

Kendrick Lamar, the second most nominated artist of the night, has not yet confirmed nor denied his attendance and performance on the show.

Adele's attendance on the show was confirmed last week as Hits Daily Double initially reported her absence. Although a performance from the third most-nominated artist is still on the fence up until now, there might be a strong chance of one as she is pressed to win Album of the Year for "30" and a song win for "Easy on Me."

Meanwhile, Variety sources also say that DJ Khaled and Jay Z might hit the stage for their all-star collaboration "GOD DID," but Rick Ross, John Legend, and Fridayy's attendance were still not confirmed.

The publication also noted that a Loretta Lynn and an In Memoriam tribute will take place, although it has not yet been confirmed who will sing in it. Last year, a Sondheim tribute from Cynthia Erivo, Leslie Odom Jr, Ben Platt, and Rachel Ziegler was given.

Interestingly, all Best New Artist nominees have confirmed their attendance, but no one from the roster has been announced to perform. Anitta, Latto, Tobe Nwigwe, Samara Joy, Omar Apollo, Molly Tuttle, Wet Leg, Måneskin, Muni Long, and DOMi & JD Beck, are fighting for the award.

The 2023 Grammys Awards, hosted by Trevor Noah, will be aired live on Feb. 5, 2023, at 8:00 p.m. ET and 5:00 p.m. PT. Fans can watch the 2023 Grammys on CBS via Cable.
