Who is hosting the 2025 Grammy Awards?

For the fifth consecutive year, Trevor Noah will be hosting the 2025 Grammy Awards.

Noah, 40, served as the master of ceremonies from 2021 to 2024.He told PEOPLE in January 2024about how music’s biggest night is unlike other awards shows.

“In a weird way, I’ve come to understand, it’s almost like I’m at a huge party, and I’m trying to work while I’m at the party,” he said at the time. “And then I’ve also learned to have a good time. It’s one of the best concerts in my opinion.”

“I don’t think there are many shows that can rival what the Grammys puts on in terms of a collection of artists. Where else are you going to get to watchDua Lipa,Burna Boy,Billie Eilish, you name it, on the same stage? That’s something I don’t take for granted and really enjoy.”

Before Noah began his stint as the Grammys host,Alicia Keysheld the title from 2019-2020 andJames Cordenhosted in 2017 and 2018. Before theCatsactor’s hosting gigs,LL Cool Jserved as the emcee from 2012 to 2016.
