2022 Grammys live updates: Olivia Rodrigo on red carpet

Don’t check your calendar: Yes, it’s April 3, and finally time for the 64th Grammy Awards. Originally scheduled to take place at the end of January in L.A., the show was upended by the winter surge in the Omicron variant, and eventually moved two-plus months and about 250 miles northeast, to Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Arena.

Scheduled to appear at what’s expected to be a wide-open ceremony: host Trevor Noah; top nominee Jon Batiste; pop stars Olivia Rodrigo, Doja Cat, Justin Bieber, Lil Nas X and Lady Gaga; Musicares Person of the Year Joni Mitchell; and certainly there in spirit, 95-year-old multiple nominee Tony Bennett and the late Foo Fighter Taylor Hawkins. Not expected: Kanye West, or anyone involved in last Sunday’s slap.

Keep it here throughout the day, for who-wore-it-worst updates from the red carpet and the first wave of winners from the afternoon’s Premiere Ceremony, starting at 12:30 Pacific. Then, beginning at 5 p.m. Pacific, The Times’ Mikael Wood and Suzy Exposito will break down the big winners, bigger upsets, best live performances and other top stories from Sunday’s main ceremony in our 2022 Grammys live chat.

3:11 p.m. Selena Gomez lost out on her first-ever Grammy nomination for Latin pop album to the Canadian-Cuban Alex Cuba’s “Mendó.”

While Gomez’s Spanish-language “Revelación” was an enticing genre shift for the pop star, the Afro-Cuban jazz artist Cuba was well-established in the genre and a multiple Latin Grammy winner.

Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny took home the música urbana album Grammy for “El Último Tour del Mundo,” besting Rauw Alejandro, J Balvin and Karol G. “Mundo” was his third album released in a year, and followed last year’s win for Latin pop or urban album for “YHLQMDLG.”

Vicente Fernández, the late Mexican balladeer, won for regional Mexican music album for “A Mis 80’s.” The singer, a generational staple of Mexican and Mexican-American life, will have a street named in his honor in Boyle Heights.—AB

2:52 p.m. Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson’s documentary “Summer of Soul,” about the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival with headliners like Stevie Wonder and Nina Simone, continued its awards-season sweep with a Grammy win for music film.

A winner last week at the Oscars, Questlove had the cursed luck of immediately following Will Smith’s smack of Chris Rock. This time around, Quest and the doc’s producers thanked, among a long list of contributors and influences, the late cultural critic Greg Tate.—August Brown

2:43 p.m. For those keeping score at home, after taking the Grammy for best video, Jon Batiste has won 4 of the 5 Grammys for which he’s been nominated thus far. His only loss was to Ron Carter, Jack DeJohnette and Gonzalo Rubalcaba for jazz instrumental album.—Craig Marks

2:32 p.m. Fresh off being named Person of the Year at Friday’s Musicares event, Joni Mitchell was on hand to accept the award for best historical album for “Joni Mitchell Archives Vol. 1, the Early Years 1963-1967.”

Mitchell, who suffered a brain aneurysm in 2015, received a standing ovation from the audience while taking the stage with her physical therapist. “Much thanks to the Academy for this nomination and win, I didn’t expect this,” she said, before thanking the long list of names who helped her put the project together. “Everybody at Rhino who made the package so beautiful. Thank you.”

Mitchell, 78, has won 9 Grammys Awards.—KD

1:54 p.m. Jon Batiste won his second and third Grammys of the day, taking home American Roots performance and song for “Cry.” Batiste’s co-writer Steve McEwan accepted the award for Roots song. “These things aren’t really important, until you win one,” he joked. “To Universal, can we make this a big radio single, so I can get a bunch of money?”

Batiste is this year’s leading nominee with 11.—KD

1:45 p.m. Chris Stapleton took home two Grammys this afternoon, one for country solo performance for “You Should Probably Leave” and one for country song, for “Cold.” His album “Starting Over” is nominated for best country album.—Kenan Draughorne

1:23 p.m. Brooklyn-based Pakistani composer Arooj Aftab won her first Grammy on Sunday, for global music performance.

Aftab, who also earned a surprise best new artist nomination, won for her song “Mohabbat,” from her album “Vulture Prince.” Accepting her award, Aftab thanked the academy while expressing confusion at what connected her fellow nominees in the category. “I feel like this category in of itself is has been so insane — Burna Boy, Wizkid, Femi Kuti, Angelique Kidjo? I mean, should this be called best world music performance? I feel like it should be called, like, Yacht Party category.”

Aftab will return to the prime-time ceremony to learn whether she’ll upset favorite Olivia Rodrigo for best new artist.

1:07 p.m. Pianist and bandleader Jon Batiste just earned his first Grammy of the day, winning score soundtrack for visual media for his work with Atticus Ross and Trent Reznor on the Pixar film “Soul.”

Batiste, best known for being bandleader on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” leads the Grammys field with 11 nominations in categories including R&B, jazz, American roots music, music video, classical and music for visual media. Later tonight, Batiste will compete for album of the year for his “We Are” and record of the year for “Freedom.” —RR

1:03 p.m. Welcome to our coverage of the 64th Grammy Awards, which has officially commenced at the MGM Grand Marquee Ballroom in Las Vegas.

For the first of 86 (!) awards, the winners in musical theater album are: Emily Bear and Abigail Barlow for “The Unofficial Bridgerton Musical.” — Randall Roberts
