Fans Are Mad About Egregious 2021 Grammy Snubs For Harry Styles, Fiona Apple, And Women In Rap
Getty Image As is tradition, there are complaints about the list of Grammy nominations and some are justified. …
The full list of nominees for the 2021 Grammys was announced starting at noon ET this morning, which means the inevitable criticisms of the list began at approximately 12:01 p.m. ET this morning. One important piece of information to remember during these trying times, though, is the eligibility window: Only works released between September 1, 2019 and August 31, 2020 are eligible to be nominated at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards. Even with that in mind, however, there were some head-scratching omissions this year.
The most immediately obvious and profoundly confusing is The Weeknd not earning a single nomination for After Hours, “Blinding Lights,” and other related works. Both the album and single topped the charts (“Blinding Lights” actually just set a longevity record) and were critically beloved. It’s possible The Weeknd didn’t submit any of his work for consideration this year, but if he did, the confusion of fans on Twitter is justified.
The Weeknd having the biggest song of the year and the best album was snub by the #GRAMMYs … pic.twitter.com/0yklLwaPjd

Similarly, some people are wondering why Harry Styles’ Fine Line and Fiona Apple’s Fetch The Bolt Cutters, two of the year’s most acclaimed releases, didn’t earn Album Of The Year nods.
HOW GRAMMYS GONNA SNUB HARRY AND THE WEEKND FOR AOTY??? THEY HAD SUCH A BIG YEAR???

I haven't screamed like this all year.
I am so ridiculously proud of him and the #GRAMMYs can live on with me for another year….but not including him in the bigger categories is a snub.
Congratulations Harry Styles!

The Grammys have always made less sense to me than the Golden Globes…but oh well. Still doesn’t make me less disappointed for Album of the Year snubs for Chromatica and Fiona Apple.

Wow the #grammys are a big joke this year. Happy for @DUALIPA but the snubs on @theweeknd and Fiona Apple for @justinbieber ?!? Scooter Braun must be paying these fools because Yummy is garbage.

Meanwhile, hip-hop heads wondered why women didn’t have a significant presence in the rap categories: Of the 20 works nominated for Best Rap Performance, Best Melodic Rap Performance, Best Rap Album, and Best Rap Song, only two were by women, and they were both the Beyonce remix of Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage.” On the bright side, though, women dominated the Best Rock Performance category.
do the grammys know women rap too? https://t.co/dhITIlx3lM

Why were there no women nominated in the #GRAMMYs Rap category besides Megan Thee Stallion & Beyoncé for ‘Savage’?
— Marques Stewart (@MarquesJStewart) November 24, 2020
All of the black women nominated for R&B/rap at this year’s #GRAMMYs
Beyoncé
Chloe x Halle
H.E.R.
Megan thee Stallion
Jhené Aiko.… that’s it I think.
