The Grammy Awards - or Grammys - are presented annually by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States for outstanding achievements in the record industry. The awards ceremony features performances by prominent artists, and some of the more prominent Grammy Awards are presented in a widely-viewed televised ceremony. The Grammys are considered the highest music honor, the U.S. record industry's equivalent to the Academy Awards (Oscars) for motion pictures.

LL Cool J hosts the 55th annual event, held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Scheduled to perform: the Black Keys; Fun; the Lumineers; Mumford and Sons; Rihanna; Taylor Swift; Carrie Underwood; and Jack White.
