The list of the nominations for the 2020 Grammy Awards were recently released and while Lizzo led the nomination field with 8 nods followed by Billie Eilish and Lil Nas X with six each which came as big surprises as they belong to the young blood of this music's generation. But this year saw considerable snubs and here are some of them.
1. BTS
The Korean Boy Group superstar has turned the year 2019 into a record breaking year with 2 albums topping the Billboard charts and the guys notching their first Top 10 single with Boy With Luv. But the boys were shut out on all major categories and even in the best pop group performance category where they are regarded as shoo-ins for the past year.
2. Taylor Swift
2018's Reputation is not as well received as her previous albums but with her stellar turn in her newest album "Lover", fans were expecting her to grab nominations big-time once more. But with her being left out in the "Album of The Year" category, a lot of followers raised eyebrows. The only saving grace is that she grabbed a "Song of The Year" nomination for Lover, the only song in the nods list that is written solely by a single artist.
3. Halsey
Halsey had a breakthrough 2019 with her song "Without Me" and has been loved by all other award giving bodies and fans alike. But much like in prior years, she was again snubbed without any single nomination in the Big 4 category. Grammy love is not yet coming for Halsey.
4. Sam Smith
Smith's wonderful collaboration with Normani, "Dancing with a Stranger," was passed over for this year. Smith, who won four Grammys five years ago, hasn't been nominated since in what seems like a continuous dry spell for the talented singer.
5. Ed Sheeran
No major love for Sheeran as well this year as he was shut out in the major categories as well. Former winner Sheeran's newest album was passed out on major categories for this year which makes us think it is one of the major snubs for the year.
6. Lewis Capaldi
Although Capaldi's chart-topping song gets a nod for "Song of the Year", we can't neglect the fact that the talented young artist was surprisingly left out in the "Best New Artist" category.
