For the first time in her legendary career, Joni Mitchell will perform on the Grammy stage at the 2024 awards show. The singer-songwriter is nominated for Best Folk Album for Joni Mitchell at Newport. Mitchell returned to live performing in 2022 after a two-decade absence, making a surprise appearance at the Newport Folk Festival that year, before making her official return at Echoes Through the Canyon in June 2023. She was also a guest at Brandi Carlile's Hollywood Bowl shows, and at a Gershwin Prize concert in her honor.
The iconic Canadian experimental artist, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 and won a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Grammys in 2002, is best known for 1970s hits such as “Big Yellow Taxi,” “Blue,” “Amelia” and “Woodstock.”
Previously announced performers for the telecast include U2 (in a remote appearance from Las Vegas’ Sphere), Billy Joel, Dua Lipa, Olivia Rodrigo, Luke Combs, Travis Scott and Burna Boy.
The Grammys will air on CBS live coast-to-coast from L.A.’s Crypto.com Arena on Feb. 4, starting at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

I'm also adding this interview Elton John did with Joni Mitchell last year. During the conversation, they talk about the music and stories behind each song, as well as her experience performing at Newport Folk Festival. Enjoy!
