Dua Lipa, Victoria Monét, Brandi Carlile and boygenius -- whose members include Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker -- are among the stars who have arrived on the Grammys red carpet.

Lipa, who is nominated tonight for song of the year for "Dance The Night (From Barbie The Album)" stepped out in a silver fringe gown with a plunging neckline.

Best new artist nominee Monét, who has already won tonight for best engineered album, non-classical, and best R&B album for "JAGUAR II," stepped out on the red carpet in a gold corseted gown.

Bridgers, Dacus and Baker, who picked up several awards earlier in the evening as well, all wore matching white suits. Carlile wore an orange suit with a pink bowtie.

Ahead of the 2024 Grammys, the Recording Academy introduced three new categories: best African music performance, best alternative jazz album and best pop dance recording.

The best African music performance category "recognizes recordings that utilize unique local expressions from across the African continent," according to the Grammys website. The category includes but is not limited to the Afrobeat, Afro-fusion, Afro Pop, Afrobeats, Alte, Amapiano, Bongo Flava and Genge genres.

Best pop dance recording "recognizes tracks and singles that feature up-tempo, danceable music that follows a pop arrangement," the Recording Academy said. "Eligible Pop Dance recordings also feature strong rhythmic beats and significant electronic-based instruments with an emphasis on the vocal performance, melody and hooks."

The best alternative jazz album category "recognizes artistic excellence in alternative jazz albums by individuals, duos and groups/ensembles, with or without vocals," according to the Grammys website. It is defined as a "genre-blending, envelope-pushing hybrid" of music that "mixes jazz" with other genres.

All eyes are on SZA tonight as she topped the list of nominees this year with nine nods, including album of the year for "SOS," song of the year and record of the year for "Kill Bill" and best melodic rap performance for "Low."

Close behind with seven nods each are Phoebe Bridgers, Serban Ghenea and Victoria Monét.

Jack Antonoff, Jon Batiste, boygenius, Brandy Clark, Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift are all up for six nominations tonight.

If SZA wins album of the year, she could become the first Black woman to win in that category this century. The last Black woman to win album of the year was Lauryn Hill for "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" in 1999.

The Grammys Premiere Ceremony, during which the majority of the night's Grammy Awards are announced, was held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles ahead of tonight's telecast. Several artists involved with the "Barbie" soundtrack took home early awards.

Billie Eilish and Finneas won best song written for visual media for "What Was I Made For?" while Mark Ronson and several producers behind "Barbie the Album" won for best compilation soundtrack for visual media.

In addition to the night's "Barbie" winners, Victoria Monét took home the award for best R&B Album for "JAGUAR II" and Chris Stapleton won best country song for his single "White Horse." The award for best rock performance went to boygenius for their song "Not Strong Enough."

Artists who performed at the ceremony included Brandy Clark, Kirk Franklin and Laufey.
