Beyoncé will not be performing at the upcoming Grammy Awards 2024 amid speculation and social media rumors. The superstar’s representative confirmed this news to The Hollywood Reporter, debunking the rumors that suggested she would be honoring the late icon Tina Turner during Sunday’s ceremony.
The buzz surrounding Beyoncé’s rumored performance gained momentum after an Australian show, Today, tweeted that she would pay tribute to Tina Turner on stage. Since then, social media platforms, particularly X (formerly known as Twitter), have been abuzz with the unverified news. Turner, a legendary figure, passed away last May after battling a long illness at her home in Kusnacht near Zurich, Switzerland.
Reflecting on the history between Beyoncé and Tina Turner, the two artists previously delivered a memorable performance of “Proud Mary” at the 2008 Grammys.
Beyoncé expressed her admiration and love for Turner after her passing, sharing a heartfelt message and a photo on her website. However, despite the deep connection between the two musicians, Beyoncé’s representative has clarified that she will not be performing at the upcoming Grammy Awards.
With the Grammy Awards just around the corner, it’s essential to separate fact from fiction. While Beyoncé will not be gracing the stage, the lineup includes a stellar array of performers such as SZA, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Olivia Rodrigo, and more.
Presenters for the evening include Meryl Streep, Oprah Winfrey, Lionel Richie, and others, with Trevor Noah hosting the live event from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Female acts dominate this year’s nominations, promising an evening filled with exceptional talent across various categories.
