With Billie Eilish, Shakira, and Sabrina Carpenter already confirmed to perform at the 2025 Grammy Awards, excitement is building for what promises to be a star-studded night. The Grammys are known for their electrifying performances and surprise collaborations, so speculation about which artists will be added to the lineup is running high. Here’s a look at the most likely performers who could join the already impressive roster.
Taylor Swift is a perennial favorite at the Grammys, especially given the massive success of her Eras Tour and the release of 1989 (Taylor’s Version) in 2024. With multiple nominations likely, she could bring her signature storytelling to the stage, possibly performing fan favorites like Style (Taylor’s Version) or Cruel Summer. Swift's performances are often a highlight of the evening, making her a top contender for the lineup.
Fresh off the release of her sophomore album, GUTS, Olivia Rodrigo is another strong candidate. Known for her powerhouse vocals and emotional performances, Rodrigo could bring her chart-topping hits like Vampire and Bad Idea Right? to the Grammy stage. With her growing prominence in the industry, her inclusion would excite both fans and critics alike.
Beyoncé has a history of delivering show-stopping Grammy performances, and with her Renaissance tour dominating 2024, she’s an obvious choice. If added, she could perform tracks like Cuff It or a medley of hits from her groundbreaking visual album Renaissance. Given her numerous nominations and ongoing influence, her presence would undoubtedly elevate the show.
Harry Styles has had a remarkable run over the past few years, winning Album of the Year in 2023 and continuing his Love On Tour success. With new music rumored for 2025, Styles could debut a fresh track or perform beloved hits like As It Was. His charismatic stage presence would be a perfect fit for the Grammys.
With her edgy and provocative performances, Doja Cat is a likely pick to join the lineup. Her 2024 album Scarlet has been critically acclaimed, and tracks like Paint the Town Red and Demons showcase her versatility. A Doja Cat performance would bring an unpredictable and bold element to the Grammys.
As one of the biggest global stars, Bad Bunny’s inclusion would add an international flair to the Grammy stage. His 2024 album has been a massive success, and his ability to connect with audiences across languages makes him a standout performer. A medley of reggaeton hits could ignite the crowd.
Adele rarely graces the stage, but when she does, it’s unforgettable. If she’s nominated or releases new music before the Grammys, she could perform a heartfelt ballad. Adele’s voice and emotional depth always make her performances a highlight.
Although The Weeknd has had a complicated history with the Grammys, a reconciliation could lead to an epic performance. With hits like Popular and Double Fantasy still dominating the charts, The Weeknd’s involvement would bring a sleek, high-energy element to the event.
The Grammys aim to appeal to diverse audiences, blending mainstream superstars with rising talent and global icons. Each of these artists brings something unique to the table, whether it’s genre diversity, cultural significance, or sheer star power. Adding performers like Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, or Adele would ensure that the show resonates with a wide range of viewers.
While Billie Eilish, Shakira, and Sabrina Carpenter are incredible acts to kick off the 2025 Grammys lineup, the addition of artists like Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, or Bad Bunny would elevate the event to legendary status. The Grammys have a tradition of delivering unforgettable moments, and the potential performers this year promise nothing less.
