Clive Davis on What to Expect at This Year’s Pre-Grammy Gala, If Taylor Swift Will Attend and His Dream Guests


The Feb. 3 gala held with the Recording Academy, will honor Sony Music Publishing’s Jon Platt.

When asked whom he’d like most to attend his and the Recording Academy’s Pre-Grammy gala who never has, the legendary executive and chief creative officer of Sony Music says the 44 th president and his wife. Obamas in attendance or not, Davis will preside over the Feb. 3 event — as he has since the first gala in 1976 — at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, which promises to bring together the usual constellation of stars from the worlds of music, sports, film and politics. Senator Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is expected to attend for the 24 th or 25 th time (Davis can’t remember exactly), as are athletic greats Scottie Pippen, Serena Williams and Martina Navratilova.
