Lady Gaga is set to perform at the Grammy Awards on Sunday, February 2nd, broadcast live from Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena at 8 p.m. on CBS and Paramount+. The performance comes as she is nominated for seven awards, a prospect described as being paved by “a mix of magic and mayhem.”
A History of Grammy Moments
This won’t be Gaga’s first time commanding the Grammy stage. She has a history of memorable performances, including a 2010 medley with Elton John, a 2011 performance emerging from an egg, and duets with Tony Bennett in 2015. She also paid tribute to David Bowie in 2016 with Nile Rodgers, performed with Metallica in 2017, and shared the stage with Bradley Cooper in 2019.
The Nominations
This year, Gaga is nominated for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for Mayhem. She is also in contention for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album for Harlequin and Best Pop Dance Recording for “Abracadabra.” “Abracadabra” is also nominated for both Record and Song of the Year, while “Disease” is up for Best Pop Solo Performance.
What to Expect
While Lady Gaga has not yet confirmed which song or songs she will perform, the nominations suggest “Abracadabra” or “Disease” are strong possibilities. The Recording Academy has announced a lineup of performers that also includes Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, Lauryn Hill, Post Malone, Olivia Dean, Pharrell Williams, and Slash.
Trevor Noah will host the Grammy Awards for a sixth and final time.
Critical Acclaim for “Abracadabra”
Regardless of the outcome on Sunday, Lady Gaga has already received significant recognition for her work. Rolling Stone named “Abracadabra” the Song of the Year for 2025, praising its “magic” and describing it as “2025’s most inescapable earworm anthem.”
