Alicia Keys To Host Grammy Awards For A Second Time

SANTA MONICA, CA — Alicia Keys will host the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Jan. 26, the Recording Academy announced Thursday.

Not only did I feel the love in the room, but I felt it from around the world and it confirmed the healing and unifying power of music.”
