Music's biggest night of the year is just around the corner, and it seems the whole industry has been out and about in California, celebrating before the 2020 Grammy Awards on Sunday, January 26.
Parties have been hosted by some of the biggest brands in music, including Spotify, Warner Music Group and Roc Nation. Instagram also threw a star-studded bash, and the The Recording Academy threw a pre-party of its own: the Pre-Grammy Gala and Grammy Salute to Industry Icons Honouring Sean 'Diddy' Combs.
The Warner Music Group saw the likes of Lizzo, Bebe Rexha, Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani all turn out to party. Lizzo is 2020s most nominated artist, with six nods, including Best Pop Solo Performance, Best New Artists, Best Song and Best Album.
Jay Z's Roc Nation party attracted the likes of Aaron Diaz and Argentine singer-songwriter Lola Ponce and TV presenter Nicole Williams to the red carpet. Saweetie, Honey and Sara Gazarek attended Instagram's pre-Grammy luncheon.
