The attendance at the awards ceremony was limited and many participants did not show up in person. The show consisted of a few live performances and a number of pre-recorded performances.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UrW352Kc1mQ?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>One of the reasons why the Grammy\u2019s was moved to Las Vegas was because most of the other popular venues in Los Angeles were already booked.
