Grammy Noms Snubs & Surprises: André 3000’s Flute Opus Gets Album of the Year Nod, Ariana Grande Shut Out of Top Categories, and Much More


The Grammy noms had plenty of surprises, with Andre 3000's flute album getting an album of the year nod and Ariana Grande shut out of top categories.

In turn, Bryan joins an illustrious (and growing) group of artists who have no interest in the Grammys, as Drake and the Weeknd have famously withheld over the past few years. But there are a few less anticipated inclusions, namely Khruangbin, Doechii and Raye, the latter of whom is the first new-artist nominee in Grammy history also to be honored in the songwriter of the year category for her solo work and contributions to other artists’ records. It’s an obvious snub but not at a surprise: the only Spanish-language songs to have been nominated are “Despacito” (Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber) in 2017 and “Un Día (One Day)” (J Balvin, Dua Lipa, Bad Bunny and Tainy) in 2021.
