“The 68th Annual Grammy Awards” will air live at 7 p.m. Sunday on CBS, and as is tradition, artists with Louisiana ties populate the nominees list.
Baskin native Lainey Wilson has three nominations, while Addison Rae, formerly of Lafayette, has one — for best new artist. She’s also one of the evening’s performers.
