After a year of every pop girl in existence (except Olivia Rodrigo) releasing a new album, the long-awaited “blood bath” 2025 Grammys are finally upon us. Needless to say, I’m stressed as hell. Tonight is all about Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Charli XCX, Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, and Doechii. Herstory shall be made! There’s no doubt about that. (But also, shoutout to Benson Boone for carrying male pop on his back while Harry Styles continues his music hiatus and Shawn Mendes galavants around Machu Picchu with his new GF.) I truly can’t remember a more competitive Grammys. This is insane.
In addition to the stacked nominations, there are gonna be so many unbelievable performances tonight. Billie, Chappell, Sabrina, Charli, and Cynthia Erivo are just a few of the icons preparing to take the Grammys stage. And yes, I’m sure there will be a billion shots of Taylor drunk dancing to their performances. It wouldn’t be a proper award show without that.
While the Grammys are of course music’s biggest night, the award show is also a major evening for fashion. I already know Chappell, Charli, Sabrina, and Beyoncé are gonna have me instantly gagged when they hit the carpet. I’m guessing we can expect an epic drag look from Chappell, a glamorous but bratty ensemble from Charli, a country slay by Beyoncé, and a playful take on old Hollywood from Sabrina. But hey, I also welcome surprises.
Billie is more unpredictable fashion-wise, and, well, Taylor desperately needs to hire a stylist. I said what I said. I’m still recovering from the messy side ‘do and the awful ~tortured poets~ themed fit she wore last year. The good news? It can only go up from there… I hope. Personally, I’m praying she wears black or black and green and finally, finally announces Reputation (TV). A woman can dream. In reality, I’m expecting another extremely awkward tortured poets look.
T-a few hours till show time, people!! Am I mentally prepared? No. But I’m working on it. I’m taking deep breaths and blasting BRAT and Short n’ Sweet to calm the nerves. I think I’m also gonna need a few rounds of the “Hot to Go” dance.
As celebs arrive and pose on the red carpet, I shall obviously be judging their looks: Here are the best and worst dressed celebs at the 2025 Grammys.
Stay tuned for the Grammys at 8 pm EST on CBS!
