The 56th Grammy Awards will be a star-studded event, with performances from
Taylor Swift, Paul McCartney, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Daft Punk and more on
Jan. 26. Two more superstars might be added to the fold. According to a
report from the Los Angeles Times, Beyonce and Madonna are expected to take
the stage at the ceremony, to be held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
The report points to a recent interview with Grammy producer Ken Ehrlich, who
does not confirm or deny the pop divas' participation in the event.
Representatives for Beyonce and Madonna did not respond to requests for
comments.
Beyonce, of course, is no stranger to high-profile surprises: The singer
released her self-titled fifth studio album out of nowhere last month, and
the album subsequently topped the Billboard 200 chart. Its current sales
stand at 1.5 million, according to Nielsen SoundScan. A Grammy Awards
performance would be her first televised showcase since the stealth album
launch.
