Grammy Nomination Snubs: Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande Left Out of Big 4 Categoriesįollowing a year in which the Recording Academy was criticized for not nominating more women in its top category (Lorde was the only one nominated last year and wasn't invited to perform), this year's album of the year category is more evenly split. Taylor Swift, whose album Reputation polarized critics and fans, earned just a single Grammy nomination, for best pop vocal album.

The best new artist nominees include Chloe x Hale, Luke Combs, Greta Van Fleet, H.E.R., Dua Lipa, Margo Price, Bebe Rexha and Jorja Smith. Four of the mentions for Gambino (aka Donald Glover), came for his lauded hit 'This Is America,' including for song and record of the year. Other top Grammy nominees include Drake, with a total of seven Boi-1Da and Brandi Carlile with six apiece and Mike Bozzi, Cardi B, Childish Gambino, H.E.R., Maren Morris and Sounwave with five each. Gaga received an additional nom, for best pop solo performance, for 'Joanne (Where Do You Think You're Goin'?).' While the Star Is Born soundtrack as a whole wasn't eligible for any Grammy nominations, the song 'Shallow,' by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper was, earning a total of four mentions, including for record of the year, song of the year, best pop duo/group performance and best song written for visual media. He earned a second nom for best rap song for co-writing 'Win,' as K. Lamar also is nominated for 'King's Dead,' for best rap performance and best rap song, alongside Jay Rock, Future and James Blake.

That album's song 'All the Stars,' written by Lamar and SZA, is also up for record of the year, song of the year, best rap/sung performance and best song written for visual media. He earned a total of eight noms, including for album of the year for the Black Panther soundtrack.
