He and his partner, Raiche Wright, are expecting their first child. So what鈥檚 an R&B singer to do? Cover himself in the baby鈥檚 birthstone: pearl.
Swims wore a heavily pearl-embellished look in tan. By pearls, we mean pearls from the cap on his head to the outer seams of his trousers. Big pearls. Small pearls. Swims pulled it off beautifully, as he always does.
And he didn鈥檛 forget the man bling. He wore a chunky choker around his neck.
Swims is nominated for best new artist.
Grammys keep giving Bradley Cooper the love the Oscars won鈥檛
Bradley Cooper has yet to win an Oscar in a dozen nominations, but he keeps winning Grammys.
He won his third, for best compilation soundtrack for visual media, for the music from 鈥淢aestro,鈥 the Leonard Bernstein biopic he directed and starred in. He won the same award for his previous film, 鈥淎 Star is Born,鈥 which also got him a Grammy for best pop duo/group performance for 鈥淪hallow鈥 with Lady Gaga.
But he鈥檚 still quite a ways from an EGOT. Major awards in his main disciplines 鈥 acting and directing 鈥 have evaded him. He鈥檚 never won an Oscar or a Tony (or a Golden Globe, for that matter) despite nominations for each. He was submitted for an Emmy for his cameo on 鈥淎bbott Elementary鈥 last year but did not get a nomination.
Ye and Bianca Censori leave little to the imagination
Rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, is no stranger to causing a scene at the Grammys. On the Grammys red carpet, his partner Bianca Censori took all the spotlight in her barely there, seemingly transparent dress that left nothing to the imagination. Censori is known for causing a stir with her sheer street-style shots.
Billie Eilish is in the house
With brother Finneas, natch. They vamped on the carpet wearing hipster shades. Billie wore trousers and a black jacket, a jaunty hat on her head and a big smile on her face. The look is Prada.
What do those pins on the red carpet mean?
One accessory on the Grammys red carpet is making more than a fashion statement.
Stars like Mike Dirnt from Green Day and singer Jacob Collier sported a pin representing the MusiCares fire relief efforts. The organization collaborated with the 67th Grammy Awards to support and raise funds for those impacted by the California wildfires. The pins feature a blue heart and a music note. MusiCares provides financial, personal and medical assistance to the music community.
In January, the Recording Academy and MusiCares launched the Los Angeles Fire Relief effort with a $1 million donation.
Beyonc茅 wore Chappell Roan鈥檚 dress first
Chappell Roan鈥檚 vintage Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture look from spring 2003 was first worn by Beyonce in Elle magazine that April.
The two are nominated against each other for top awards.
Teddy Swims is elated about 2 babies
with two babies on the way: The child he鈥檚 expecting, and his new album, 鈥淚鈥檝e Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 2).鈥 While he鈥檚 excited to talk new music, fatherhood is what elates him.
鈥淚 can鈥檛 wait to hear the voice or 鈥榃hat鈥檚 your favorite color?鈥 鈥 I hope he thinks I鈥檓 cool 鈥 or she thinks I鈥檓 cool,鈥 said the soulful crooner. 鈥淚 want my son 鈥 or daughter 鈥 to say that, about what I say about my father.鈥
Continuously switching pronouns, Swims carefully concealed the gender, fearing facing a displeased girlfriend, fellow musician Raiche Wright. But it鈥檚 difficult for the Grammys best new artist nominee to contain his joy.

Black Crowes enjoy Grammys love several decades after first nomination
The first time Chris and Rich Robinson were at the Grammy Awards, it was 1991. The New York Giants had won the Super Bowl, and the U.S. was in the midst of the Gulf War.
The siblings behind the band The Black Crowes had just released their debut album 鈥淪hake Your Money Maker鈥 and were nominees for best new artist. They didn鈥檛 have high hopes. Sure enough, Mariah Carey would take the crown.
鈥淚 don鈥檛 remember ever like getting too worked up about it,鈥 singer-songwriter Chris Robinson recalls. 鈥淥f course, Mariah Carey is going to get that. Are they going to give it to these dirtbag kids from Atlanta who just came to the party really to get thrown out?鈥
Fast forward more than three decades and the Black Crowes have been invited back to the party, earning their second career Grammy nod this year for best rock album alongside the Rolling Stones.

Chappell Roan is a whole mood
She walked in a strapless look, long wavy hair flowing down her back. Her makeup was whitened and full of color: yellows and blues and pinks and reds. Her look had touches of teal and images of women from a bygone era on the skirt. It was Jean Paul Gaultier vintage from spring 2003.
It鈥檚 2025 and The Beatles have won a Grammy
The best rock performance Grammy has gone to
鈥淪ince no one is coming up to take this award, I figured I鈥檇 come up and sit in,鈥 John Lennon鈥檚 son Sean Ono Lennon said onstage.
It鈥檚 the group鈥檚 first Grammy win in 27 years, and the song was notable for its use of artificial intelligence technology.
鈥淎s far as I鈥檓 concerned, it鈥檚 the greatest band of all time,鈥 he added.

Quick check-in on Grammy carpet designers

Kehlani wore Robert Wun as she walked the carpet with her adorable daughter, Adeya Nomi Parrish. Kehlani鈥檚 look was strapless and pinstriped. Long black opera gloves brought home the look.

Luka Doncic鈥檚 new home plays host to the Grammys
The interplay between sports and music is well-chronicled, but has yielded quite the collision today.
The Los Angeles Lakers traded forward Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks in return for star guard Luka Doncic. That means Doncic鈥檚 new home arena is the Crypto.com Arena 鈥 also home to the Grammys.
If any performers from Dallas 鈥 or anyone who happens to randomly be a Mavs fan 鈥 take the Grammys stage tonight, don鈥檛 be surprised if Doncic鈥檚 name gets mentioned. The trade of Dallas鈥 best player for the last few years has shocked those who follow the NBA.
Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube and Kendrick Lamar are among the best-known musical Lakers fans. We鈥檙e guessing they鈥檒l be thrilled to see Doncic in purple and gold very soon.
As for that other Los Angeles team, the this past week: Their home arena, the Intuit Dome, and the Clippers-owned Kia Forum were the dual sites of the for wildfire relief.
This isn鈥檛 Jimmy Carter鈥檚 first Grammy
It鈥檚 actually his fourth. His posthumous Grammy joins his three previous ones for spoken word album.
Sean Ono Lennon seeks to innovate, not merely repeat
Only recently given stewardship over his late father鈥檚 work, Sean Ono Lennon is on a remarkable run.
The only child of John Lennon and Yoko Ono won an Academy Award this year for a short film based on his parents鈥 1971 song 鈥淗appy Christmas (War is Over鈥)鈥 and, a few months later, was nominated for his first-ever Grammy, for producing a box set on the album 鈥淢ind Games,鈥 originally released in 1973. On Sunday, he won.
For Lennon, who was 5 when the former Beatle was murdered in 1980, the work is a way to connect with his father. It鈥檚 more than a preservation mission: On 鈥淢ind Games,鈥 he takes artistic license, pulling apart the recordings of John Lennon鈥檚 music to create something entirely new.

No Grammy for A$AP Rocky, on trial nearby
lost out on a Grammy as he goes through a trial just up the street that might mean years in prison. His partner and the mother of his sons was in court supporting him for most of the week.
Rocky got his third Grammy nomination for best music video for his song 鈥淭ailor Swif.鈥 A win would鈥檝e been his first, but it went to Kendrick Lamar for 鈥淣ot Like Us.鈥
Two miles away at a downtown Los Angeles courthouse, he鈥檚 been on trial for the past two weeks on two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm. A former friend who goes by testified that Rocky fired a gun at him on a Hollywood street in 2021. Rocky鈥檚 lawyers say he was shooting a starter pistol that only fires blanks that he carries for security.
Where are the winners?
The Grammys Premiere Ceremony moves at a breakneck pace, but much of it is spent waiting on winners as everyone wonders whether they鈥檙e in the room to accept.
The answer is often no, at least in the early afternoon. Ten of the first 15 winners were not there to pick up the award, including Beyonc茅, Charli XCX and Sabrina Carpenter.
With several hundred nominees, it鈥檚 impossible to keep track of the whereabouts of all of them at the 7,000-seat Peacock Theater.
When Cory Henry won best roots gospel album, the Grammy had already been accepted on his behalf and the show was starting to move on by the time he was able to run up to the stage and make his speech.

Amy Allen becomes the first woman to win songwriter of the year, non-classical
All of the nominees in this category were women except 脡dgar Barrera. RAYE, Jessi Alexander, or Jessie Jo Dillon all had the potential to be the first women to ever win in the category, and Allen took the crown.
The category is also new, only in its third year. Allen dedicated her award to all the songwriters who she says should have been recognized before its inception.

Ferrell鈥檚 dress included huge luminescent sleeves, pearl embellishment all over and a matching choker piece.

Beyonc茅 has already snagged a Grammy in a country category

It may be Groundhog Day, but Punxsutawney Phil鈥檚 prognostication of six more weeks on winter is going unheeded at the Grammys.
They鈥檙e set to shine, and not just onstage. Los Angeles is serving up perfect award-show weather, with sunny skies and a high of 72 Fahrenheit.
The weather today is quite the contrast from last year鈥檚 deluge that flooded streets near the arena and caused many attendees to arrive late and soaked.
The temperature is expected to drop to around 60 degrees by the end of the main show.
What makes a remix Grammy eligible?
The best remixed recording category is one of few that honors singles or tracks that aren鈥檛 necessarily new 鈥 just newly altered. These aren鈥檛 covers, re-recordings or remastered tracks: To qualify as a remix, the remixer has to substantially change the original recording. Shortening the track or adding a featured artist, for example, wouldn鈥檛 cut it.
鈥淓spresso (Mark Ronson x FNZ (backslash)nWorking Late Remix)鈥 FNZ & Mark Ronson, remixers (Sabrina Carpenter) won the award.
Fitting with the remixes鈥 home on the dance floor, the category moved under the pop and dance/electronic field this year, from its previous home in the production, engineering, composition and arrangement field.
How many Grammys will be handed out tonight?
There are 94 categories to be awarded today. Of those, around 85 will be handed out during the pre-telecast Premiere Ceremony, per host Justin Tranter.

Premiere Ceremony kicks off with group rendition of 鈥楤ridge Over Troubled Water鈥
The Grammys Premiere Ceremony has begun with a group rendition of Simon and Garfunkel鈥檚 鈥淏ridge Over Troubled Water鈥 over images of the Los Angeles-area wildfires.
The performance from nominees Ang茅lique Kidjo, Wayne Brady, Scott Hoying, Deborah Cox and Taj Mahal began solemnly in front of a big screen showing flames and firefighters, then turned into a gospel-style tribute.
The performance set a very different tone for the usually breezy Premiere Ceremony, and for an entire Grammy night that will be focused on raising money and paying tribute in the aftermath of the fires.
Grammys red carpet off to a mild-mannered start
Fashion at music鈥檚 biggest night is traditionally the wackiest on the awards circuit. With the loss and devastation of the Los Angeles fires as a backdrop, many went for subdued. Lots of black and other dark tones mixed with a few pops of color and sparkle. But the night is young. Will Grammy fashion go over the top?
What is the Grammys鈥 Premiere Ceremony?
The Grammys have nearly 100 awards to hand out. There鈥檚 simply not enough time to fit all of that, plus performances and acceptance speeches, into a three-hour, prime-time telecast. That鈥檚 where the Premiere Ceremony comes in.
The Premiere Ceremony runs for three hours, starting at 12:30 p.m. Pacific/3:30 p.m. Eastern. It鈥檚 where categories like best audiobook narration are handed out and it鈥檚 often where many stars earn their EGOT 鈥 like Viola Davis, in 2023.
If you鈥檙e curious, no one is poised to EGOT (complete the circuit of winning an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony) this year. But there are still some unexpected celebrities who could earn a Grammy this year.
