November 10th 2024.
It's that time of year again - the Grammy nominations for 2025 have been released and, as always, they have caused quite the stir. This year, the snubs and surprises seem to be more controversial than ever before. Of course, the big headline is that Beyoncé has received a whopping 11 nominations, making her the most nominated artist in the history of the awards with an impressive 99 nods. This surpasses her previous record of 88 nominations, which she shared with her husband, Jay Z (also known as Shawn Carter). It seems that Jay Z might have to update his hit song "99 Problems" to mark this incredible feat.
On the other hand, Taylor Swift has also made her mark on the nominations, earning a spot in the best album category for her latest release, "The Tortured Poets Department". This has earned her a total of seven nominations, overtaking Barbra Streisand for the most nods in that category. It's no surprise that other popular artists like Charli XCX, Chappell Roan, Kendrick Lamar, and Post Malone have also received nominations after a whirlwind year.
But, as always, there are also some notable absences from the list of nominees for the 2025 Grammys. Here are five of the most shocking snubs this year.
First up, we have Jack Antonoff. Although he is hardly one to complain about his lack of nominations, as he has already won several awards as one of the biggest pop producers in the music business, it's still surprising to see him left out of the running for producer of the year. He has won this award for the past three years, but this year it's the turn of other talented producers like Alissia, Dernst 'D'Mile' Emile II, Ian Fitchuk, Mustard, and Daniel Nigro.
Next up, we have Ariana Grande. While she did receive a nomination for her album "Eternal Sunshine", it's not in the categories that we would have expected. Instead, she has been nominated for best pop vocal, best pop duo performance, and best dance pop recording. Some fans were disappointed to see her absent from the album of the year category, which features breakout stars like Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter. One fan even tweeted their frustration, claiming that the Grammys will never truly appreciate Ariana's talent and artistry.
Hozier is another artist who has been left out of the nominations, much to the surprise of many. Although his hit single "Take Me to Church" earned him a song of the year nomination in 2015, he has not been nominated since. This year, his song "Too Sweet" was expected to be a strong contender, but it failed to receive a nomination at all. Fans were disappointed, with one even exclaiming their shock on social media.
Next, we have Benson Boone, who has been nominated for best new artist. While this is a great accomplishment for the young singer, fans were disappointed to see that he wasn't represented in other categories, such as record of the year or best pop solo performance. However, Benson is keeping a positive attitude and is hoping for better luck next time.
Finally, we have the legendary Cher, who released a Christmas album last year. Many fans were expecting her to receive a nomination for this album, but she was nowhere to be found on the list. However, some fans understand that Christmas albums are not always considered "cool" and that Cher has had a successful career in other areas, such as acting. One fan even encouraged her to keep making great music and try again next year.
So, there you have it - the five most shocking snubs for the 2025 Grammy nominations. It just goes to show that even the most talented artists can sometimes be overlooked in the competitive world of music awards. But, as always, there's always next year for them to make their mark.
