She's also scheduled to perform alongside Mick Fleetwood and Bonnie Raitt in tribute to the late Fleetwood Mac vocalist and keyboardist Christine McVie, who died at age 79 in November 2022.

"Not to mention I get to do it with Mick Fleetwood, which makes it feel even more, I don't know, sacred. And of course, Bonnie Raitt, who — I mean, I just feel like I get an honor to honor her with them. It's cool."

The 2023 Grammy Awards are airing live on CBS and Paramount+ Sunday night from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
