Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Camilla Cabello, Cardi B, and Janelle Monáe are all set to perform at the 2019 Grammy Awards.

Also among the first batch of performers to be announced are Dan + Shay, Post Malone, Shawn Mendes, and Kacey Musgraves, who are all set to take to the stage during the 10 February event, which will air live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Alicia Keys is set to host the ceremony. The singer broke the news on Tuesday by releasing a video in which she’s told she has been picked as the next host.

In the clip, Keys can be seen looking incredulous, then rejoicing, before sharing the news with her loved ones, including her husband Swizz Beatz.

“We can make it a moment,” Keys – who has earned 15 Grammy Awards throughout her career – tells him of her forthcoming hosting performance.

Kendrick Lamar has claimed eight nominations this year for his work on the Black Panther soundtrack, more than any other artist.

Drake earned seven nominations, while producer Boi-1Da and folk singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile are up for six awards each.
