On Tuesday morning, the nominations for the 63rd Grammy Awards were revealed, with Beyonce, Taylor Swift, and Dua Lipa leading the pack. However, some major artists were absent from the list, including The Weeknd, who received critical acclaim this year for his songs “Blinding Lights” and “After Hours.”
The 63rd annual Grammy Awards nominations were released on Tuesday morning, and contrary to expectations, The Weeknd did not make it to the list. This came as a shock to many considering his recent achievements in the music industry.
Wow, he had an amazing year! The talented artist, also known as Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, impressed both fans and critics with his hit songs Blinding Lights and After Hours. He even took home some major awards at the American Music Awards and was selected to perform at the 2021 Super Bowl halftime show. However, it’s unclear why he wasn’t nominated for a Grammy – perhaps there was a mistake on the part of his team. The Weeknd has already achieved success with previous hits such as Starboy and Can’t Feel My Face, and he’s also made headlines for his romantic relationships with Selena Gomez and Bella Hadid. We’ve reached out to his representatives for further comment.
Not interested: Even Selena Gomez, his former flame, didn’t receive much recognition. Her popular album Rare was snubbed despite featuring chart-topping hits like “Look at Her Now” and “Lose You to Love Me”.
Back in 2017, Gomez and The Weeknd were a couple and attended the Met Gala together. However, neither of them received much love from the Grammys this year. Despite releasing hit songs like “Look At Her Now” and “Lose You To Love Me” from her album Rare, Gomez was not nominated. Meanwhile, her other ex, Justin Bieber, received several nods, but expressed his dissatisfaction that his latest album was not considered R&B. In an Instagram post, the Sorry singer thanked the Grammys for acknowledging his artistry, but emphasized his meticulous and intentional approach to music.
Upset: Justin Bieber was seen at the American Music Awards this week, and reportedly expressed dissatisfaction that his latest album did not fall under the R&B category, despite receiving multiple nominations. Meanwhile, his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez was not nominated for any awards.
Yikes: I embarked on creating an R&B record, but surprisingly, it’s not being recognized as such. It’s quite puzzling to me.
Gomez and Justin were photographed together in 2009 when they were dating. However, Justin is now married to Hailey Baldwin, known as Hailey Bieber. Gomez shared that he wanted to create an R&B album, but it’s not recognized as one. He feels strange about it because the songs are undoubtedly R&B. His album Changes got nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album alongside Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, Dua Lipa, and Lady Gaga. Katy Perry’s sixth album Smile wasn’t acknowledged even though it featured Never Really Over, Harleys In Hawaii, and Daisies. Recently, she gave birth to her first child with Orlando Bloom. Harry Styles received a nomination for his album Fine Line in the Best Pop Vocal Album category, but some fans believe he deserved more. Lady Gaga’s supporters also think that she should have received more recognition for her album Chromatica.
