The 67th Grammy Awards is happening in February but this time, things are different.  By different we mean Los Angeles is still recovering from wildfires. More than 14, 000 structures have gone and tens of thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes. The Recording Academy has turned the event into a fundraiser for the victims of these wildfires.  So you will see the usual award ceremony, but this time a portion of the show will be focused on raising awareness.  They also want to raise more money. Why is that?  So far donations have already been delivered to the Musicares charity, that's $2 million in emergency support for the industry. Also, more than $4 million has been promised in support.  They are hoping that the audience can help add to this amount.  This is a great way to raise money and awareness for such a devastating event.

        Trevor Noah is coming back for the fifth year in a row as the host.  This is a chance for him to showcase his comedic talent and show off his ability how to handle such a big event.   As a wild card, history is waiting to be made.  The big question is who will take home the top prize this year?  But before we get into that let's take a look at some facts.  The Grammys will air on February 8, 2025.
