The Recording Academy has announced its first group of performers for the 61st annual Grammy Awards. Cardi B and Janelle Monáe will hit the stage this year, along with Shawn Mendes, Camila Cabello, Dan + Shay, Kacey Musgraves, and — because we’re all being punished for some reason — Post Malone.
It could be a big night for Cardi and Monáe, who are both nominated for Album Of The Year. Cardi is also nominated for Best Rap Performance, Best Rap Album, and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for “Girls Like You” with Maroon 5. In addition to Album Of The Year, Monáe is also nominated for Best Music Video for “Pynk.” Alicia Keys will host the event, which airs Sunday, February 10 at 8 p.m. EST on CBS.
