"Here lies Taylor Swift's reputation—or at least the final nail in the coffin of her  Reputation  era." So writes Brittany Spanos in a  Rolling Stone  piece that mulls the singer's Grammy nomination "snub": no mention of the album or its singles except one lonely listing in the Best Pop Vocal Album Category. Consider that Reputation  was 2018's top-selling album and its fourth single, "Delicate," became "a sleeper hit this year" and "a massive radio hit." Plus Swift is a Grammy darling, the youngest artist ever to snag Album of the Year with Fearless  at age 20 and the first woman to  win twice when  1989  triumphed in 2016. So wither the love? OK,  Reputation  was dark and different. And it wasn't released in time for the 2018 Grammys, so it had to wait a year. There was also the controversy after  1989  beat Kendrick Lamar's "astounding"  To Pimp a Butterfly —and "this year's eight-album...

Bebe Rexha and Dua Lipa were both shocked and thrilled to receive nominations for the 2019 Grammy Awards, but for Rexha, their recognition goes beyond their musical accomplishments and strikes an emotional chord. In a brief note she posted to Twitter, the singer shouts out Lipa along with a sweet photo of the two of them embracing: "Two Albanian girls nominated for 2 Grammys. In my heart we already won." Billboard  spoke with both Rexha and Lipa following the announcement for the 2019 nominations, and Friday morning (Dec. 7) for both pop stars involved a lot of (happy!) tears. Rexha's parentsstarted bawling when they learned that their daughter was up for two awards, and Lipa was in the middle of a meeting when she heard the news and then "couldn't stop crying." Both Rexha and Lipa are nominated for best new artist. Rexha, along with Florida Georgia Line, is nominated for best country...

The 2019 Grammy nominees were announced Friday (Dec. 7) morning, which means hot on the heels of the congratulations and breathless exclamations of what an honor it is just to be nominated comes the inevitable sniping over perceived snubs. And this year is no different, as there are several A-listers shut out of the Big 4 categories (album of the year, song of the year, record of the year and best new artist). Taylor Swift, a long-time Grammy fave with two album of the year wins under her belt, misses the Big 4 entirely, with  reputation  only getting a nod for best pop vocal album. While the snub is understandable in some ways – Swift's latest received mixed reviews – it's still confounding given what a commercial blockbuster it was (it was Billboard's biggest album of 2018) and Swift's status as a Recording Academy favorite. Also in the pop snub realm, Ariana Grande was ignored in the Big 4 categories. Again, not a total shock considering the Grammys haven...

Music is easily one of the most subjective topics to debate — which places the  Grammy Awards' Academy members  in a constant crossfire. Major award shows are bound to make mistakes. It's unavoidable. Our challenge, then, is to sort through the uproar and find nominations that future generations will look back on with either rage or confusion. Here are seven artists whose nominations seem at least somewhat undeserving, in no particular order. Cardi B had a monumental year, but "Invasion of Privacy" isn't album of the year material.   It's certainly encouraging to see the Grammys hand five nominations to  Cardi B , an unapologetic, unconventional firecracker — whose success reflects the significant shift towards rap and hip hop for modern music fans. But that doesn't mean her debut studio album, "Invasion of Privacy," necessarily deserves the high praise. While the project hits some very high points — "I Like It,...
