Joni Mitchell to Perform at Grammys for the First Time

Esteemed Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell is poised to step onto the Grammy Awards stage for her first-ever performance at the prestigious event. The iconic musician is not only a highlight of this year's ceremony but also a contender for an award.

Grammy History and Current Nomination

Mitchell has a longstanding relationship with the Grammy Awards, having secured nine wins from 18 nominations over the years. Her latest Grammy nod comes for the best folk album category, for Joni Mitchell at Newport, a live recording from a 2022 performance. Mitchell, at 80 years old, continues to be a vital force in music.

A Life of Achievements and Challenges

The Recording Academy has previously honored Mitchell with the lifetime achievement award in 2002, and more recently, she was awarded the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. Overcoming significant health challenges, including a brain aneurysm in 2015, Mitchell has made a remarkable comeback, proven by her appearance at the Newport Folk Festival and the subsequent live album now in the running for a Grammy.
