US first lady Jill Biden will present this year's Grammy Awards, the White House said on Wednesday.

Biden is not the only first lady to participate in the Grammy Awards, the music industry's top honors.

Former first lady Michelle Obama made a surprise appearance at the Grammys for an opening segment in 2019 and won a Grammy a year later for best-spoken word album for the audiobook version of her best-selling memoir, "Becoming."

Hillary Clinton won a Grammy in 1997 while she was the first lady for best-spoken word album for her book "It Takes a Village."

The Grammy Awards, the music industry's top honors, will also feature appearances from presenters Cardi B, Olivia Rodrigo, Dwayne Johnson, Viola Davis, Billy Crystal, James Corden, and Shania Twain.

Harry Styles, Bad Bunny, Mary J. Blige, Brandi Carlile, Luke Combs, Steve Lacy, Lizzo, Kim Petras, and Sam Smith would all perform at the award show.

The 65th Annual Grammy Awards will be broadcast live on CBS on Sunday, February 5 at 8 p.m. ET/ 5 p.m. PT from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

The gala will be hosted for the third year in a row by Emmy-winning comedian Trevor Noah.

Leading the nominations this year is Beyoncé, whose album "Renaissance" helped her earn nine nods — tying her with husband JAY-Z for most-nominated artist of all time, with 88 apiece.

The "Break My Soul" singer, 41, is up for some of the night's most coveted prizes, including the record of the year, the album of the year, and song of the year.

Kendrick Lamar followed with eight nominations, while Adele and Brandi Carlile earned seven each. Mary J. Blige, DJ Khaled, Future, The-Dream, Randy Merrill, and Harry Styles each received six nods.
