WELL, leave it to 2020 to present yet another disappointment for the everyone who is struggling to balance everything that has been thrown at them. While we might be on the cusp of ringing in a new year, The Grammys have pissed A LOT of people off for this year’s nominations, which were announced this morning.
Many fans, and artists alike, have taken to social media to express their disdain for one of the biggest snubs of the year as The Weeknd, who made history with “Blinding Lights” and his more than successful ‘After Hours’ album, received zero nominations for the prestigious honors. And on the flip side, there are artists like Justin Bieber who called out his Grammy nominations as he believes that his ‘Changes’ album was not recognized as an R&B album.

Snubbing The Weeknd in all categories on his best album? After it did 444k first week?
After blinding lights has been on the top 10 for almost a year?
