The other upper nominees are the British “abrupt” Charli XCX and Shape-Shifter Post Malone (with eight nods each), followed by Lamar and Billie Eilish, with seven. Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan and Taylor Swift have every six.
Carpenter and Roan are also competing for best new artist, a trophy that would be a crown performance after a year of quick pop increase for both artists. This all-gene category also includes the buzzy “Denial is a river” rapper doechii, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” Country-singer Shaboozey and “Beautiful Things” singer Benson Boone.
Who was snubbed?
There were no expected nods for Pop Powerhouse Dua Lipa or the respected ties The Smile and Vampire Weekend. Tommy Richman’s inevitable viral tracks “Million Dollar Baby” were also not recognized.
How does voting work?
Grammys is chosen by more than 13,000 music people – artists, songwriters, producers and others with credits on recordings – who are members of Recording Academy. Members first scan through huge lists of submissions to vote for nominees. After the last vote is set, they do it again to select winners. Previously, anonymous committees had the power to override members’ choice of nominees; After some controversies, these were largely dissolved, although the academy still has the power to grant submissions if necessary.
The 94 categories are divided into 12 fields, including six awards in the general field and the rest in 11 other divided by genre. Voting members are allowed to give ballots in up to 10 categories across three genre fields plus the eight categories in the general field. While members can choose where to vote, they are “referred to only to vote in the areas where they are friends of the nominees,” according to Recording Academy rules.
Who will present?
This year’s presenters include Anthony Kiedis and Chad Smith from Red Hot Chili Peppers, Cardi B, Gloria Estefan, Olivia Rodrigo, Queen Latifah, Sza, Taylor Swift, Victoria Monét and Will Smith. (Swift will return to the stage where she announced last year “The Tortured Poets Department”, which is up to five awards.)
