The Grammy Awards will have five new categories starting from next year's ceremony, organizers said on Thursday, including honors for songwriting, as well as a special recognition for the best song for social change.

The Grammy Awards were postponed Wednesday weeks before the planned Los Angeles ceremony over what organizers called “too many risks” from the omicron variant, signaling what could be the start of another year of pandemic upheaval for awards season.

The Grammy Awards will adopt an inclusion rider that will require producers to recruit and hire more diverse candidates backstage and in front of the camera for next year’s ceremony.
