Trevor Noah returns to host the ceremony and Taylor Swift was announced last-minute as one of the presenters, while Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, RAYE and Teddy Swims are among the incredible 2025 performers.
This year’s ceremony will also raise money for the wildfires happening across parts of California, following the successful fundraiser FireAid which saw musicians come together for two huge concerts.
