An ad for the Grammys seems to have casually confirmed that Taylor Swift and Beyonce will be at the awards this year, among other big names.

The ceremony for the 68th Grammy Awards is set to take place on February 2 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

Trevor Noah will be returning to host the ceremony for the fifth time in as many years, and he will also serve as a producer for the ceremony.

Now, a new promo airing on television in the US and circulating online, has confirmed that the live ceremony will be attended by the two biggest pop superstars in the world: Taylor Swift and Beyonce.

Benson Boone, Charli XCX, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter are also listed in the promo.

The video also teases ‘a very special guest,’ who many fans are speculating is Lady Gaga.
