The biggest night in music is here as the 2024 Grammys are just a few hours away. Over the last few weeks, singers and musicians have discussed and prepared for the chance to make history. One of those artists is none other than Taylor Swift. Already having a historic 2023, the singer is looking to win another album of the year award. This would mark her fourth time winning the award.

Trevor Noah Talks Hosting The Grammys
As for hosting, Noah is currently preparing to take the stage for the fourth time at the Grammys. Already knowing his way around, the comedian recently spoke with Billboard about what it takes to host the awards. Giving a glimpse into his process, Noah said, “I’m in my head, I’m preparing for every contingency that I cannot prepare for and just trying to be ready for anything that could possibly go wrong in any possible moment. And then I’m also reminding myself to have fun. I’m thinking about being present in the room because I think you can miss things if you’re not present.”
While admitting to juggling conflicting emotions when preparing to host such an event, Noah insisted “When you hit it is when you’re in the zone.”
