AceShowbiz - Another singer has been added to the list of performers at the upcoming 61st Grammy Awards. Lady GaGa is set to take the stage to perform her latest hit "Shallow" at the event, which will be held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 10.
However, the six-time Grammy winner will not be accompanied by her duet partner Bradley Cooper during the performance. The actor will head to London to represent "A Star Is Born" at the BAFTA Awards, which will take place at Royal Albert Hall on the same day as the Grammys. The musical flick is up for seven nominations at the event, including Best Film and Best Adapted Screenplay.
GaGa herself is nominated for five total Grammys, four of which come from "Shallow". The song is nominated for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Duo/Group Performance and Best Song Written for Visual Media. She additionally receives Best Pop Solo Performance nomination for "Joanne (Where Do You Think You're Goin'?)"
While the "Born This Way" singer will entertain both audience and viewers at home during the show, Ariana Grande reportedly will skip the event due to disagreement with producers. According to Variety, the former Nickelodeon star decided to not attend nor perform because she felt "insulted" after producers refused to let her perform "7 Rings" at the event.
The source went on to say that Ariana, who is nominated for Best Pop Solo Performance and Best Pop Vocal Album, and the producers initially reached a compromise where her latest hit would be part of a medley. But she eventually pulled out after producers insisted that the second song would be on that they chose.
The 61st Grammy Awards will be hosted by Alicia Keys and broadcast live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles on CBS on Sunday, February 10. Kendrick Lamar leads the nominations with 8 nods.
