Trevor Noah Returns To Host The 2025 Grammy Awards Amid Wildfire Relief Efforts

South African comedian Trevor Noah is set to host the 2025 Grammy Awards, marking his return as the event’s host. The announcement, reported by The Hollywood Reporter, comes less than two weeks before the Grammys, scheduled for February 2, will air live from Los Angeles.

Wildfire Relief Efforts

This year’s Grammys will not only celebrate music but also serve as a fundraiser for wildfire relief efforts in Los Angeles. Despite the devastation caused by wildfires in the region, the Recording Academy decided to proceed with the show, raising funds to support first responders and affected communities.

“We mourn the loss of life and destruction that have come to our city in recent days,” wrote Harvey Mason Jr., CEO of the Recording Academy, in a letter to Academy members. He also noted the Academy’s USD 1 million donation, which has helped raise over USD 2 million in emergency aid.

Key Grammy Events

In addition to the main event, the Clive Davis pre-Grammy gala, celebrating its 50th year, and the MusiCares Person of the Year celebration honoring The Grateful Dead, will go forward as planned. However, major record labels and organizations like Spotify have cancelled their pre-Grammy parties.

Trevor Noah’s Role

Trevor Noah, who has hosted the Grammys multiple times, is also credited as a producer of the show and has earned three Emmy nominations for the music event. Speaking about his experience, Noah said:
“Moments that you have backstage with the performers… you don’t get to experience that level of joy anywhere else. For me to be part of that is truly, I guess now, it’s a three times a lifetime opportunity.”

Top Nominees

The 2025 Grammy nominations are led by Beyoncé with 11 nods, followed by Charli XCX and Post Malone, each with eight. Kendrick Lamar and Billie Eilish are up for seven awards, while Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, and Chappell Roan have six nominations each.
