Grammys 2019 run of show: What order are the Grammy Awards presented?
The Grammys give out awards in 84 categories so it might be helpful to know when to tune in for the ones you care about.
The Grammys are a beast of an award show. Not only are there 84 categories across 30 fields, there are enough performances and tributes and all kinds of other interludes to make the Oscars look like efficient by comparison. As such, a run of show, i.e. knowing what order the Grammy awards are presented in, would be incredibly helpful in planning your Sunday night viewing.
Regrettably and unlike other award shows — Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmys, among others — the Grammys do not share a run of show before the telecast, nor is there much historic accounting that would allow us to put together a best-guess order of awards. Still, we can provide you a wealth of other information to help you decide whether or not you want to tune in to the 2019 61st Annual Grammy Awards.
The 2019 Grammy Awards will begin at 8 p.m. ET on CBS, hosted by Alicia Keys, herself a 15-time Grammy-winning singer-songwriter.
The Grammys are in even worse shape than the Oscars when it comes to figuring out ratings and appeal, and face a continued low-key boycott from music’s biggest names on account of an ongoing problem with representation across nominations. The performers at this year’s ceremony reflect that, and an mixed bag of motivations for appearing.

Cardi B is easily the biggest draw for viewers, but Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry are fellow household names. Ricky Martin, Dolly Parton, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Diana Ross will appeal to certain demographics, and Camila Cabello, Post Malone, Shawn Mendes and Dua Lipa will hit others. Hard to tell what Kacey Musgraves, St. Vincent and Young Thug are doing there — their fans aren’t exactly the ones most likely to care about Grammys — but all three are promising additions to the slate.
If, somehow, the Grammys leak a run of show, we’ll be sure to update this post. But until then, it’s up to you whether music’s biggest night is more or less appealing than True Detective season 3 or the midseason premiere of The Walking Dead.
