The 61st Annual Grammy Awards ceremony was held on February 10, 2019, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.[2][3] Singer-songwriter Alicia Keys hosted.[4][5] During her opening monologue, Keys brought out Lady Gaga, Jada Pinkett Smith, Jennifer Lopez, and former First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama, each of whom spoke about the impact that music had on their lives.[6]

The ceremony recognized the best recordings, compositions, and artists of the eligibility year, which ran from October 1, 2017, to September 30, 2018.[7] Nominations were announced on December 7, 2018.

Dolly Parton was honored as the MusiCares Person of the Year two days prior on February 8, 2019.[8]

Kendrick Lamar received the most nominations, with eight. Childish Gambino and Kacey Musgraves tied for the most wins of the night with four each.[9] Childish Gambino did not attend the ceremony and became the first major award winner to be absent since Amy Winehouse in 2008.[10] "This Is America" producer Ludwig Göransson and recording engineer Riley Mackin accepted the Record of the Year Grammy on Gambino's behalf.
