Since 2000, the Grammy Awards have been held annually at the [[Crypto.com Arena]] in [[Los Angeles]], with a few exceptions. Before 1971, Grammy Award ceremonies were held in different locations on the same day. Originally [[New York City]] and [[Los Angeles]] were the host cities. [[Chicago]] joined as a host city in 1962 and [[Nashville]] became a fourth location in 1965.

The 1971 ceremony at the [[Hollywood Palladium]] in Los Angeles was the first to take place in one location as it was the first live telecast of the event. In 1972, the ceremony was held at [[Madison Square Garden]]'s [[Felt Forum]] in New York City. In 1973, it took place at Nashville's [[Tennessee Theatre (Nashville)|Tennessee Theatre]]. From 1974 to 2003, the Grammys were held in various venues in Los Angeles and New York City, including Los Angeles' [[Shrine Auditorium]], [[Crypto.com Arena]] and Hollywood Palladium; and New York's Madison Square Garden and [[Radio City Music Hall]].

In 2000, the [[Crypto.com Arena]] (known as the Staples Center from 1999 to 2021) became the permanent home of the award ceremonies. [[Grammy Museum at L.A. Live|The Grammy Museum]] was built across the street from the Crypto.com Arena in [[LA Live]] to preserve the history of the Grammy Awards. Embedded on the sidewalks on the museum streets are bronze disks, similar to the [[Hollywood Walk of Fame]], to honor each year's top winners, Record of the Year, Best New Artist, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year. Since 2000, the Grammy Awards have taken place outside of Los Angeles only three times. [[New York City]]'s [[Madison Square Garden]] hosted the awards in [[45th Annual Grammy Awards|2003]] and in [[60th Annual Grammy Awards|2018]], while the [[MGM Grand Garden Arena]] in [[Las Vegas Valley|Las Vegas]] hosted in [[64th Annual Grammy Awards|2022]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.grammy.com/grammys/news/new-york-city-host-2018-grammys|title=When are the 2018 GRAMMYs?|date=May 9, 2017|website=Grammy.com|access-date=December 30, 2017|archive-date=May 1, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190501023745/https://www.grammy.com/grammys/news/new-york-city-host-2018-grammys|url-status=live}}</ref>
