Alicia Keys Announces She Will Host the Grammy Awards

The singer Alicia Keys will host the 61st annual Grammy Awards on Feb. 10, she announced on Tuesday in a nearly 10-minute celebratory video that emphasized the show as female-driven a year after the Grammys faced controversy over gender diversity.

Keys succeeds the late-night host James Corden, who presided over the Grammys for the last two years and took over from LL Cool J, who hosted for five years beginning in 2012. Previous hosts include Queen Latifah, Rosie O’Donnell, Ellen DeGeneres and Garry Shandling.
