Grammys 2022: Elle King is set to paint the town red as she arrives at Las Vegas ceremony in bright suit and hat
The Grammys red carpet is known for being the hottest runway of the year as entertainment icons are celebrated for accomplishments, and leading up to Sunday night’s ceremony was no different as heavy-hitters in the industry showed up in style for the main event at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Country music crooner Elle King stood out from the crowd wearing a vibrant, crimson colored suit with a matching hat as she flashed peace signs while walking the carpet.
The 32-year-old singing sensation is a four-time Grammy nominee, and broke on to the US top 10 charts with her smash 2017 hit Ex’s & Oh’s. She’s nominated tonight for Best Country Duo/Group Performance with Miranda Lambert for their song Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home).

Elle appeared to be in great spirits wearing a double breasted suit with long bell sleeves and a plunging neckline which showed off peeks of her chest tattoo.
She rocked a pair of matching bell bottoms and threw on a wide-brim hat over her dark blonde hair which featured pieces of brown highlights.
King carried a gold clutch in one hand which had a fierce scarlet hued backing, and wore a thick metallic chain around her neck.

She kept her makeup simple and chic, with a subtle highlight to show off her flawless complexion and a touch of matte lipstick.
King brought along fiance Dan Tooker to the star-studded event. The couple welcomed their first child together just seven months ago, a son named Lucky Levi.
Comedian Trevor Noah is hosting the event, which is being televised and streamed live from the Sin City venue.
Music’s biggest night recognizes the best recordings, compositions, and artists of the eligibility year, which runs from Sept. 1, 2020, to Sept. 30, 2021.

This year, composer and musical artist Jon Batiste surpassed all nominees with an impressive 11 nominations, while Justin Bieber, Doja Cat and H.E.R. have eight each, and Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo are tied with seven.
Former enemies Taylor Swift and Kanye West are up against each other in one of the biggest categories, Album of the Year, with their respective records Evermore and Donda.
Reunited Swedish pop group ABBA have their first-ever Grammy nomination in their 48-year history for ‘I Still Have Faith In You’ in the Record of the Year category.
American musician Jon Batiste is the most nominated artist for his album We Are.
Batiste, 35, is a veteran jazz keyboardist and also the musical director of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.
Both Lil Nas X and Brandi Carlile have an impressive five nominations each, while Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak’s group Silk Sonic received four nods.
The Recording Academy has eliminated nominations review committees this year meaning winners will now be determined by a majority vote from Recording Academy voting members.
There are famously a long list of categories – 88 to be exact.
Two new categories have been included this year: Best Global Music Performance (Global Music Field) and Best Música Urbana Album (Latin Music Field).
The Grammys were initially set to take place on Jan. 31 in Los Angeles, but got pushed due to the rapid spread of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus.
‘Given the uncertainty surrounding the Omicron variant, holding the show on January 31 simply contains too many risks,’ CBS and the Recording Academy said.
Harvey Mason Jr., CEO of the Recording Academy, confirmed later in January that it would be moving to Las Vegas.
‘We are excited to take the GRAMMYs to Las Vegas for the very first time, and to put on a world-class show,’ he said.
‘From the moment we announced the postponement of the original show date, we have been inundated with heartfelt messages of support and solidarity from the artist community.’
‘We are humbled by their generosity and grateful for their unwavering commitment to the GRAMMY Awards and the Academy’s mission.’
