The Kennedy Center Honors will be held on December 7 at Capital One Arena in downtown Washington, DC, instead of its traditional venue. This marks the first time since 1978 that the ceremony is not hosted at the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The move follows a bitter battle regarding Donald Trump's efforts to have the venue named after himself. A Kennedy Center spokesperson confirmed the change, though this year's honorees remain unannounced.
