The best of the best musicians are arriving for the 61st Annual Grammy Awards at Los Angeles’ iconic Staples Centre and we are living for this red carpet fashion ahead of the big show tonight hosted by Alicia Keys.
Lady Gaga, Cardi B, Dua Lipa are just some of the big names up for coveted gongs, but one leading lady is set to be the star of the show.
Country music legend Dolly Parton is being honoured as the 2019 MusiCares Person of the Year with artists including Katy Perry, Kacey Musgraves, Maren Morris and Little Big Town singing some of her classic hits.
Speaking to producer Linda Perry at the opening of The Grammy Museum’s Diamond in a Rhinestone World: The Costumes of Dolly Parton exhibit, Dolly said, “Everything I’ve ever done, even if it looked like a mistake to somebody else and even if I paid the price for it as a mistake, it seemed like the thing I was supposed to do at the time. So I can’t say I would honestly do it any different.”
Not only is the 73 year-old country music star receiving a tribute, she’s also taking the Grammy stage for the first time in 18 years to perform her new music from Netflix’s Dumplin’.

Though the night hasn’t been totally immune from controversy.
Double nominee Ariana Grande will not perform at or even attend the ceremony after a conflict with producers over her song choice.
Sources told Variety that the 25 year-old songstress allegedly “felt insulted” after producers said she couldn’t sing her latest single 7 Rings. Later, a deal was made to allow her to sing, but Ariana allegedly pulled out after producers said they would be selecting the second song.
