Tishomingo resident and Grammy winner Miranda Lambert joins fellow country star Dierks Bentley, rapper/actor and current Grammy nominee Drake and Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow as the first presenters announced for the 54th Annual Grammy Awards, CBS has announced.
In addition, Katy Perry has been added to the lineup of Grammy performers. She is nominated for two awards: Record of the Year and Best Solo Performance for “Firework.”
Also, Adele will make her much-anticipated return to the the stage by performing during the Grammys. It will be the British songstress’ first time performing live anywhere in nearly five months since being forced to cancel a sold-out U.S. tour to undergo surgery on her vocal cords.
I’m immensely proud to have been asked to perform at this year’s Grammy Awards,” said Adele in the announcement. “It’s an absolute honor to be included in such a night and for it to be my first performance in months is very exciting and of course nerve-racking, but what a way to get back into it all.”
A two-time Grammy winner Adele has six nominations this year: Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best Short Form Music Video for “Rolling In The Deep”; Album Of The Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for “21?; and Best Pop Solo Performance for “Someone Like You.”
Other Grammy performers include Glen Campbell with The Band Perry and Lambert’s husband Blake Shelton; Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson; Coldplay and Rihanna; Foo Fighters; Bruno Mars; Paul McCartney; Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift.
The 2012 Grammy Awards will air live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles from 7 to 10:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 12 on the CBS Television Network. They will be hosted by two-time Grammy Award winner and “NCIS: Los Angeles” star LL Cool J.
