During the event, Noah made a joke about the Trump administration’s rules on illegal immigration. “We’re going to be honouring the best in music as voted on by the 13,000 members of the Recording Academy," he said, “and 20 million illegal immigrants."

The South African comedian added that he planned to enjoy the evening because it “may be the last time I host anything in this country." He quipped, “I don’t know if you noticed, but there have been a few changes in Washington. So I’m going to enjoy tonight because it may be the last time I get to host anything in this country."

Since taking office on January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump has introduced several immigration-related executive orders to target undocumented migrants in the US. Trump has worked to reform parts of the US immigration system, including procedures for processing and deporting migrants. According to the BBC, he has pledged “mass deportations" and arrests.

He quipped, “She’s nominated in Best Country, Best Pop, Best Americana, and Best Melodic Rap. Yeah, Andre 3000 better watch out next year—she’s coming for that flute.”

The 2025 Grammys are taking place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, featuring performances by Dawes, Billie Eilish, and Sabrina Carpenter.
