Longtime Grammys producer Ken Ehrlich will step down after the 2020 Grammys, the Recording Academy announced today (July 17). Ehrlich has produced every Grammys telecast since 1980. Producer, director, and writer Ben Winston will succeed Ehrlich in 2021 as executive producer. The 62 Annual Grammy Awards, Ehrlich’s final telecast in charge, is set for Sunday, January 26, 2020.

Ken Ehrlich has faced heightened scrutiny in recent years. In a 2017 interview, Ehrlich said that Frank Ocean’s 2013 “Forrest Gump” Grammys performance was “faulty” and “not great TV.” Ocean responded with an impassioned Tumblr post criticizing the Grammys.

The next year, after Lorde chose not to participate in a Tom Petty medley at the Grammys (because she was reportedly not offered the chance to perform her own music), Ehrlich responded, “There’s no way we can really deal with everybody.”

This year, Ariana Grande backed out of a planned performance at the Grammys, with Ken Ehrlich telling The Associated Press that Grande “felt it was too late for her to pull something together” for the show. Following his interview, Grande tweeted, “I’ve kept my mouth shut but now you’re lying about me. I can pull together a performance over night and you know that, Ken. It was when my creativity & self-expression was stifled by you, that I decided not to attend.”

Responding to Grande’s tweets, Nicki Minaj also criticized Ken Ehrlich online. Ehrlich later called Grande’s remarks “a surprise.”
