Get your popcorn ready! The 2023 Grammys are Sunday, Feb. 5.

The awards show is known for having surprises throughout the night. It'll be hard to top Bruno Mars lighting a cigarette while accepting record of the year last year, but the star-studded line up of performers and nominees will likely find a way.

Beyoncé, who just announced the Renaissance World Tour, leads the pack with nine nominations with Kendrick Lamar right behind her at eight. Adele and Brandi Carlile got seven nods each. Mary J. Blige, Future, DJ Khaled and Harry Styles got six and Jay-Z and Lizzo got five.

Grammy performers include Bad Bunny, Lizzo and Mary J. Blige.

As usual, the showdown of the night will be who wins album of the year, for which both Beyoncé ("Renaissance") and Adele ("30") are nominated. The last time they were both nominated in the category was in 2017 for "Lemonade" and "25" respectively. Adele won but in her acceptance speech she said that Beyoncé should have won. As decorated as Beyoncé is, she has never won album of the year, so now many are wondering how, and if, Adele's stance six years ago may impact who wins this year.

There are more nuggets like this throughout the night. Here are the moments to look for and everything to know about the 2023 Grammys.
