Adele and just-announced Silk Sonic will be performing Vegas residencies at the time the Grammys take place — and they both happen to have the night of April 3 off! (Reps for the artists mentioned in this article either declined or did not respond to Variety’s requests for comment.) Of course, Adele is not nominated for the 2022 Grammys, with “30,” her first album in years, arriving well outside of the eligibility period — but that didn’t stop the Grammys from booking Silk Sonic last year, and when one considers a) the viewers that an Adele performance would bring to the Grammy broadcast and b) the additional buzz it would bring for Adele’s already-oversold Vegas residency (which presumably could be extended for as long as her heart desires and her vocal cords can stand), it’s win/win/win.
Likewise, it’s rare for the same artist to perform on two consecutive Grammys, but Silk Sonic’s four nominations — not to mention one of the biggest singles of the year — may overrule that loose rule.Looking at the nominees list, there’s Jon Batiste at the top with a near-record 11 nods, not only for his genre-spanning “We Are” album but also for his stellar work on Pixar’s “Soul” film.
Will he be performing? Duh!From the other most-nominated artists, Doja Cat seems likely to bring one of her trademark extravagant TV performances; Justin Bieber could do a medley of his nominated songs with the Kid Laroi popping up for the “Stay” segment; and H.E.R.
already is well on her way to being an awards-show regular, although the lack of a breakthrough song on her best-album-nominated “Back of My Mind” makes that feel a bit less obvious.Of course, 2021’s breakthrough star, Olivia Rodrigo, seems a natural, as do multiple nominees Billie Eilish.
