Grammys Executive Producer Ben Winston on What to Expect From This Weekend’s Show — and Some Behind-the-Scenes Surprises From Last Year’s
Grammy executive producer Ben Winston talked about what's in store for this weekend's big show — and revealed some surprises about last year's.
Now in his fourth year as executive producer of the Grammy Awards, it would seem like Ben Winston ’s job would get easier: After all, his first two years in the job were 2021 — i.e. the extremely complex,first-ever socially distanced Grammys — and the slightly less restricted 2022 awards, which had to be moved to Las Vegas and delayed two months after the Omicron variant hit Los Angeles. It’s a house of cards — if Bad Bunny doesn’t show, OK, then you go to Brandi Carlile to open because she’s on second, but then you have a monologue because the cameras already need to be setting for Stevie Wonder, who was third. But this is so not my show: It’s me, Raj Kapoor, Jesse Collins, Tabitha Dumo, David Wild, Hamish Hamilton, so many others — there’s this great team of us, and the most creative moments are when we’re together and arguing over who should be booked and what they should be doing and coming up with loads of ideas.
