Snub: Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/h2>\n\t<\/p>\n
\n\n\tSwift went 0-6 this year, marking the first time she has ever been blanked when she had six or more nominations. Still, it\u2019s hard to think of it as a snub. Every single voter knew that Swift has amassed more album of the year wins than anyone else in Grammy history. They may have simply decided to share the wealth this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n

\nSurprise: Sierra Ferrell<\/strong><\/h2>\n\t<\/p>\n
\n\n\tFerrell is a rising star in the Americana world, but you probably didn\u2019t think she was headed for a four-Grammy sweep. Her fourth full-length studio album, Trail of Flowers<\/em>, won best Americana album. The album\u2019s opening track, \u201cAmerican Dreaming,\u201d won both best Americana performance and best American roots song. Another track on the album, \u201cLighthouse,\u201d won best American roots performance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n- \n
\nSnub: Billie Eilish<\/strong><\/h2>\n\t<\/p>\n
\n\n\tEilish went 0-7 this year. Eilish and her brother FINNEAS lost song of the year, which I expected them to win for their silky ballad \u201cBirds of a Feather.\u201d Eilish also went 0-7 at the show in 2022. Eilish has won record of the year twice, song of the year twice (with FINNEAS) and album of the year once, not to mention two Oscars (again with FINNEAS). Again, voters may have just wanted to share the wealth this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n

It\u2019s Bunny\u2019s first loss in the category, which he won with El \u00daltimo Tour Del Mundo <\/em>in 2022 and Un Verano Sin <\/em>Ti in 2023.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n- \n
\nSnub: Jack Antonoff<\/strong><\/h2>\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\n\tAndr\u00e9 3000\u2019s New Blue Sun<\/em> was nominated for album of the year and best alternative jazz album. Few expected it to win album of the year, but most figured it would take the alternative jazz prize. It wasn\u2019t to be. Instead, the award went to Meshell Ndegeocello\u2019s No More Water: The Gospel of James Baldwin. <\/em>Ndegeocello accepted her award wearing a sweatshirt emblazoned \u201cAndre 3000 Live in Person.\u201d Andr\u00e9 3000 announced on Saturday that he wouldn\u2019t attend the show. He didn\u2019t state a reason: \u201cUnfortunately, I\u2019m not able to attend the\u00a0GRAMMYs<\/a>\u00a0tomorrow but some of the New Blue Sun musicians, friends and supporters will be in attendance,\u201d he wrote in an Instagram post on Saturday (Feb. 1).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n- \n

\n\n\tRapsody featuring Erykah Badu\u2019s \u201c3:AM\u201d won best melodic rap performance, a category most figured would go to \u201cSpaghettii\u201d by Beyonc\u00e9 featuring Linda Martell and Shaboozey. Many learned of Martell\u2019s compelling story through Cowboy Carter<\/em> \u2013 a talented Black country singer who was thwarted in her career in the late 1960s because of the less open attitudes of that era.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n- \n
\nSnub: Metallica<\/strong><\/h2>\n\t<\/p>\n
\n\n\tThe band has won best metal performance seven times and many expected them to win again with \u201cScreaming Suicide.\u201d But the award went instead to Gojira, Marina Viotti & Victor Le Masne for \u201cMea Culpa (Ah! Ca ira!). It\u2019s only the second time that Metallica has lost in this category. In 1996, their \u201cFor Whom the Bell Tolls\u201d lost to Nine Inch Nails\u2019 \u201cHappiness in Slavery.\u201d Gojira has had a very good year.

Many figured it might win, given that Prince was chosen to receive a lifetime achievement award, which was presented on Saturday (Feb. 1). But no. The album lost to Centennial<\/em> by King Oliver\u2019s Creole Jazz Band and Various Artists. Diamonds and Pearls <\/em>received two nominations when it was a current album \u2013 \u201cGet Off\u201d was nominated for best R&B performance by a duo or group with vocals. \u201cDiamonds and Pearls\u201d was nominated in the equivalent pop category.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n- \n
