At 80, Joni Mitchell will achieve a new first in her career: Performing at the Grammys

Joni Mitchell is no stranger to the Grammys — she’s won nine in her career, plus a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Recording Academy.

But the Grammy Awards ceremony on Sunday will mark a significant milestone in Mitchell’s decadeslong career: The 80-year-old singer-songwriter is performing at the event for the first time.

There aren’t many details about the upcoming performance, but Rolling Stone has reported that Mitchell will be accompanied by several friends and collaborators, including Brandi Carlile , who produced the 2023 live album “Joni Mitchell at Newport” that is nominated for best folk album and could mark Mitchell’s 10th Grammy Award.

Ahead of the ceremony, here’s a look at the album that brings to life Mitchell’s first public performance since suffering a brain aneurysm in 2015, not to mention her first full set in two decades, according to The New York Times .
