Fans react to the biggest Grammys 2026 snubs – from Lorde and The Weeknd to Gracie Abrams and Benson Boone

The Grammy nominations are out and fans of some of the snubbed artists – Lorde, The Weeknd, Gracie Abrams, Benson Boone – are not happy.

Earlier today (November 7), the Recording Academy revealed the full list of nominees for the 2026 Grammys, which are set to be presented at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena on February 1.

Kendrick Lamar was the big winner with the announcement, picking up nine nominations thanks to his 2024 album ‘GNX’, while Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter, Bad Bunny, Justin Bieber, Billie Eilish and Tyler, The Creator were well represented.

Records had to be released between August 31, 2024 and August 30, 2025 to be eligible, but several big hitters in the music industry who were eligible were still left without any recognition.

Among those names is Lorde, who released her fourth album ‘Virgin’ in June, but received zero nominations. The New Zealand singer has had a fraught history with the Grammys, dating back to her 2018 record ‘Melodrama’, which was nominated for Album of the Year but did not result in her being offered a solo performance on the telecast, in contrast to all of her fellow male nominees.

In response, she seemed to subtweet the Recording Academy and later took out an advert in a newspaper pointedly thanking music fans for “believing in female musicians”.

Lorde fans were not impressed with her snub this time around, with one X user speculating: “Lorde being blacklisted from the Grammys since she came for their ass in 2018.”

 

Also overlooked was The Weeknd, whose sixth album ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’ came out in January, but did not garner him any nominations. His history with the Grammys is even more frayed than Lorde’s – in 2021, he declared he was boycotting the awards when ‘After Hours’ was snubbed, explaining the Grammys “remain corrupt” and saying the Academy “owe me, my fans and the industry transparency”.

That boycott came to an end at this year’s ceremony, however, when he made a surprise appearance at the show, performing ‘Cry For Me’ and ‘Timeless’. The backtracking has not helped him pick up nominations, however, and many fans have noted the irony.

“Doing all that work to bring The Weeknd back into the Academy and make amends just to play in his face again,” wrote one X user. “Man whatever.”

One of the most successful songs of the past 12 months was Gracie Abrams’ ‘That’s So True’, but despite being released during the eligibility window, it did not get nominated.

Another one missing from the list of nominees was Benson Boone. He was nominated for Best New Artist last time around, losing out to Chappell Roan, but this time, despite releasing his second album ‘American Heart’ in June, he is nowhere to be seen.

All records to have been released since the end of August this year will be eligible for the 2027 Grammys, including the likes of Taylor Swift’s ‘The Life Of A Showgirl’ and Doja Cat’s ‘Vie’.

The Weeknd to Lorde: Biggest snubs in Grammys 2026 nominations

Every year, many artists do not make it to the coveted Grammys list and the nominations for the 2026 ceremony are no different. 

The 2026 Grammy Award nominees were announced on Friday and with an exciting lineup, there were some artists who made it to the coveted list, while others missed out. Like every year, snubs were in no short supply.

Here are some of the biggest names who missed out on making it to the Grammys 2026 nomination list.

Biggest snubs of Grammys 2026

  • The Weeknd – The musician failed to make the cut despite being on the entry list for categories like Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for Hurry Up Tomorrow, as well as Record and Song of the Year for Timeless, which features Playboi Carti. “Despite having one of the best selling albums in 2025 and having hits like Timeless, The Weeknd was snubbed and received zero Grammy nominations,” one person wrote on X.
  • Lorde – The singer didn’t get a single nomination despite the success of her fourth album, Virgin. Lorde won her only Grammy in 2014, when she got the Song of the Year award for Maya Georgi, making history by becoming the youngest songwriter to do so.

  • Benson Boone – Boone, whose song Beautiful Things became wildly popular, and along with other works made him an exciting prospect, is nowhere in the nomination list this time. He was nominated for Best New Artist in 2025, but didn’t get a single nod this time – and all this after the much-discussed backflip across the Grammys stage.
  • Elton John and Brandi Carlile – Their album Who Believes in Angels? did not get a nomination in any major category, despite both artists being adored by the Recording Academy. However, they did get a nomination for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.
  • Role Model – The singer has been a success story in 2025 and his single Sally, When the Wine Runs Out seemed to have swept everyone up from AI Roker to Charlie XCX. However, the singer, whose name is Tucker Pillsbury, did not seem to make a mark at the Grammys. While there was some expectation he might have a shot at the Best New Artist category or the pop categories, he didn’t get a single nod. On the bright side, the artist is reportedly already working on his next album.

    The 2026 Grammy Awards will air February 1 live on CBS and Paramount from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

The 2025 Emmy Awards have come and gone, and it was a memorable and historic night for television. The Studio broke the record for the most Emmys won for a first season for a comedy series, while another freshman series, The Pitt, took home the top honor for dramas.

Comedian Nate Bargatze served as first-time host and revived a Saturday Night Live sketch that helped put him on the map. There were more historic wins and powerful speeches throughout the evening, such as Hannah Einbinder‘s acceptance speech which had people searching for what was censored.

The evening was also full of TV cast reunions from shows such as Gilmore Girls, Everybody Loves Raymond, and more. Here, we break down the highlights of the night, from the funniest bits and biggest surprises to snubs and the best reunions.

What was your favorite, or least favorite, part of the night? Let us know in the comments below. And see the full list of 2025 Emmys winners here.

Snubs & Surprises at 2025 Caribbean Music Awards: Chronic Law Shut Out

Although Shenseea dominated the night with five wins, including dancehall album, collaboration and song of the year, the third annual Caribbean Music Awards certainly spread the wealth. Hosted by Majah Hype at Brooklyn’s King Theatre (Aug. 28), this year’s Caribbean Music Awards honored performers and works across reggae, dancehall, soca, R&B, gospel, bouyon, zess-steam, konpa and more, highlighting the myriad styles that have helped Caribbean music and culture remain a global force.

Thanks to his collaborations with Shenseea (“Hit & Run”) and Romain Virgo (“Been There Before”), Masicka was the second most-awarded artist of the night with four trophies. Nearly every artist who earned at least three nominations took home something, except for Nailah Blackman, Chronic Law, Kranium, Bunji Garlin, Problem Child, Trinidad Killa and Jada Kingdom — all of whom were completely shut out. Notably, all three of last year’s female artist of the year winners repeated in their respective categories, with Shenseea taking home the dancehall honor, Lila Iké snagging the reggae award and Patrice Roberts winning the soca trophy for a third consecutive year.

In addition to over 40 competitive awards, several Caribbean music legends were honored for their towering contributions to the culture. DJ Khaled and Swizz Beatz honored Bounty Killer with the lifetime achievement award, Mýa presented Sizzla with the humanitarian award, and Buju Banton celebrated Busta Rhymes with the elite icon award. Additional special honorees included Austin “Super Blue” Lyons (calypso honors), Kerwin Du Bois (producer honor), Carimi (legacy award) and Shirley Ann Cyril-Mayers (gospel honors).

Here are six of the biggest snubs and surprises from the 2025 Caribbean Music Awards.
