This country music icon looked nearly unrecognizable as she arrived at the 2025 Grammys held at LA’s Crypto.com Arena on Sunday.
The blonde bombshell wowed on the red carpet, looking radiating and showcasing a smooth, flawless complexion.
The singer-songwriter showed off her toned arms in a stunning shimmering sleeveless Missoni gown.
Her look was accessorized with Neil Lane jewelry, including a long necklace and a turquoise ring.
This songbird has won an impressive 9 Grammy Awards and was once engaged to a famous cyclist.
Can you guess who this hitmaker is?
That’s right, it’s Sheryl Crow!
The All I Wanna Do hitmaker — who is currently 62 — will turn 63 on February 11.
Sheryl, who was once engaged to Lance Armstrong, was one of the performers at this year’s Grammys.
She last appeared and performed at the Grammys in 2023.
This year, the First Cut Is the Deepest singer opened up the awards with a ‘very emotional’ performance dedicated to those affected by the devastating LA fires, she told People on the red carpet.
‘I’m actually playing the first number. I’m playing in an all-star band with St. Vincent, Brad Paisley, John Legend, Brittany Howard and Dawes,’ she shared.
‘And I don’t know if you guys know, but one of the members of Dawes lost his house in the fire and just had a baby,’ she added.
‘So we’re doing “I Love LA.” It is very emotional. At rehearsal, people were breaking down, getting very emotional. It’s cool to be here tonight to be a part of what feels like a community.’
‘People forget sometimes that even though an awards show feels competitive, this situation is made up of a community of musicians. For me, I came here as a young school teacher wanting to have a career in music 30 years ago, 35 years ago,’ Crow stated.
‘L.A. has a lot of layers to it. People that live here wind up staying here, raising their kids here, but it is a community. I think tonight really amplifies that.’
The Grammys will be hosted by Trevor Noah for the fifth consecutive year.
The show will raise funds to support fire relief efforts after the devastation caused by the LA blazes which began on January 7 in Pacific Palisades.
Superstar singer Beyonce dominates the list of Grammy Award contenders with 11 nods, including an Album Of The Year nomination for her venture into country music, Cowboy Carter.
Behind Beyonce, Billie Eilish, Charli XCX, Kendrick Lamar and Post Malone tie with seven nominations each.
Pop phenomenon Taylor Swift and newcomers Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter scored six each.
Women dominated the Album of the Year category, the top Grammy honor.
Beyonce, winner of more Grammys over her career than any other artist, has never taken home the album trophy. Swift has won the honor four times and is in the running again with her breakup album The Tortured Poets Department.
At the awards ceremony in February, the Beyonce and Swift records will compete with Carpenter’s ‘Short n’ Sweet,’ ‘Brat’ from Charli XCX, Eilish’s ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft,’ and Roan’s ‘The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.’
The two male artists nominated in the album field were rapper Andre 3000 with ‘New Blue Sun’ and jazz artist Jacob Collier for ‘Djesse Vol. 4.’
Winners will be chosen by the roughly 13,000 singers, songwriters, producers, engineers and others who make up the Recording Academy.
Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter was viewed by experts and fans as a reclamation and homage to an overlooked legacy of Black Americans within country music and culture.
It became the first album by a Black woman to land at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart when it was released last spring.
The Beyonce album was snubbed, however, by voters for the Country Music Awards in September.
Beyonce’s other Grammy nods included record and song of the year for single ‘Texas Hold ‘Em.’ Her 11 nominations brought her lifetime total to 99, more than any other artist. Prior to Friday, she had been tied for the lead with her husband, rapper Jay-Z, who has 88.

Other presenters at the show include Victoria Monét, Anthony Kiedis & Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Cardi B, Gloria Estefan, Olivia Rodrigo, Queen Latifah, and SZA.

Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. and Tammy Hurt, the chair of the Academy’s board of trustees said in a joint statement: ‘This year’s show, however, will carry a renewed sense of purpose: raising additional funds to support wildfire relief efforts and honoring the bravery and dedication of first responders who risk their lives to protect ours. In challenging times, music has the power to heal, comfort, and unite like nothing else.
‘The Grammys will not only honor the artistry and achievements of our music community but also serve as a platform to amplify the spirit of resilience that defines this great city of Los Angeles.’
MusiCares and the Recording Academy have created the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort and pledged $1 million to support musicians and those working in the industry who are impacted by the wildfires.
The 2025 Grammy Awards will air February 2 live on CBS and Paramount+ from 5pm PST.
