The Recording Academy has confirmed that the iconic Canadian folk musician will finally make her debut on the Grammys stage at this weekendâs awards ceremony on Sunday, February 4.

Mitchell is a nine-time Grammy winner, clinching her first award in 1969 with Best Folk Performance for âCloudsâ. Her most recent Grammy win came in 2022 when her âJoni Mitchell Archives â Vol. 1: The Early Years (1963â1967)â was named Best Historical Album.

In 2002, Mitchell was the recipient of the Recording Academyâs Lifetime Achievement Award. This year, she is being nominated in the Best Folk Album category for the 2023 live album, âJoni Mitchell at Newportâ.
âJoni Mitchell at Newportâ was recorded at the musicianâs 2022 surprise set at the legendary music festival â which she last appeared at in 1969 â delivering a 13-song âJONI JAMâ set that featured Brandi Carlile on the tracks âCareyâ, âA Case Of Youâ and âBig Yellow Taxiâ.
Following the Newport set, Mitchell played her first full headline set in over two decades in June 2023, at the Gorge Amphitheatre in Washington state. At the show, like the Newport performance, she played with Carlile and a group of collaborators including Marcus Mumford, delivering a 24-song set of tracks from across her career and a few covers.
