Grammy season is here– and Beyoncé is currently leading the pack.
The artist gathered a total of nine nods as the 2021 Grammy nominees were revealed on Tuesday (November 24), making her the most-nominated artist this year. Dua Lipa, Taylor Swift, and Roddy Ricch follow behind Bey with 6 elections each.
Swift and Lipa are up for Album of the Year, along with Jhené Aiko, Black Pumas, Coldplay, Jacob Collier, Haim, and Post Malone. Megan Thee Stallion, who saw her star enormously increase in 2020, likewise acquired a handful, consisting of in the Record of the Year and Best Rap Tune categories. She’s also up for Best Brand-new Artist together with Doja Cat, Noah Cyrus, Phoebe Bridgers, D Smoke, and more.
Harry Styles, meanwhile, snatched his first-ever Grammy noms in the Best Music Video, Best Pop Solo Efficiency, and Best Pop Singing Album categories.
Notably, the Recording Academy– frequently criticized for its absence of variety and inclusivity, and still reeling a bit from previous chairman Neil Portnow’s 2018 comment that females required to “ step up“– celebrated 5 females acts in the Best Rock Performance category, including Fiona Apple, Big Burglar, Phoebe Bridgers, Haim, Brittany Howard, and Grace Potter.
The 2021 show likely will not look like last year’s broadcast, which featured performances that literally burnt up the phase, a star-studded flight down “ Old Town Roadway,” and a gala of glittering red carpet dress.
This will also be the first Grammys ceremony given that the Recording Academy dropped the word “city” from some of its classifications in June, following Tyler, the Developer’s remarks at last year’s show (” I do not like that urban word.
The broadcast will be hosted by The Daily Program‘s Trevor Noah, who takes over from Alice Keys, who hosted the 2019 and 2020 events.
The 2021 Grammys will air Sunday, January 21, 2021, on CBS. Discover the candidates below.
