The 64th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony was postponed last week due to rising COVID rates as the omicron variant continued to sweep the globe. The event has now been rescheduled from January 31 to April 3 and moved from Los Angeles' Crypto.com Arena (fka The Staples Center) to the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. It's the first time the Grammys haven't taken place in the Los Angeles venue since 1999. The 2021 Grammys were also postponed due to COVID concerns, taking place on March 14 instead of their originally planned January 31 date.
