Comedian Trevor Noah is returning to host the 2023 Grammy Awards. This marks Noah's third time hosting, after holding the position in 2021 and 2022.
Noah shared his approach to hosting with Billboard, saying that he'll "go wherever the jokes take" him.
"But I'm always aware that I am there in service of the show," he explained to the outlet. "This is not my show, nor do I try to pretend that it is. A good host is somebody who keeps the show moving in the right direction, makes sure that they bring the audience into what's happening, engages and entertains everybody who's in the room and really turns it into a party."
He added, "Everyone is there to have a good time. It's an awards show, but it's also one of the greatest concerts you'll ever get the opportunity to go to."
Beyoncé leads this year's nominations with nine nods thanks to her latest album, "Renaissance."
She could also could make history during the 65th annual Grammy Awards. She is currently the most awarded female artist in Grammys history with 28 wins, and if she takes home four wins at Sunday's show, she'll become the artist with the most Grammys ever. (Late conductor Georg Solti holds the current record with 31 wins.)
Kendrick Lamar follows closely behind Beyoncé with eight nominations and Adele and Brandi Carlile are each up for seven nominations.
Best new artist nominees include Anitta, Omar Apollo, DOMi and JD BECK, Muni Long, Samara Joy, Latto, Måneskin, Tobe Nwigwe, Molly Tuttle and Wet Leg.
