After 40 years, the show’s longtime producer, Ken Ehrlich, has retired from the awards, and Ben Winston (known for his work on James Corden’s late-night show and “Carpool Karaoke”) will be taking over. Trevor Noah, from “The Daily Show,” will host. But who will perform — and how — are still big questions.
Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa and Roddy Ricch picked up the most nominations. The Weeknd and Luke Combs were among the artists surprisingly snubbed this year.
