Drake’s album is in, thats interesting given his past with the grammys. lets see how it goes this time.
Good to see new categories but what about more representation in other genres? seems like the same old names every year.
Lana Del Rey and Billie Eilish in the same categories, this is gonna be tought to choose, both are amazing artists.
No way Dolly Parton got nominated again, she’s such a legend! fingers crossed for her win.
wow so many great artists this year, can’t wait to see who wins! Really hoping for Boygenius or Taylor Swift.
Finally, some recognition for alternative jazz, About time the Grammys caught up!
