Taylor Swift’s “Folklore” is a major contender for Album of the Year, and Lipa’s “Don’t Start Now” will be pitted against Swift’s “Cardigan” in the Song of the Year category.

“The Box” apper Roddy Ricch scored six nominations this year, including one for Song of the Year; meanwhile, Billie Eilish, who took home the night’s top awards last year, walked away with four nominations, including Record and Song of the Year for “Everything I Wanted.” Doja Cat, Megan Thee Stallion, Chika and Phoebe Bridgers were all represented in the Best New Artist category, and Doja Cat was also named in the Record of the Year category for her viral hit “Say So.”

It’s unclear exactly what a pandemic-era Grammys will look like, but we’ll find out when The Daily Show comedian Trevor Noah hosts the show on January 31.

However, this special Yankees-themed version takes it a step further.

Kim Kardashian’s Tesla Robot Photoshoot Sparks Social Media Firestorm

HonkMagazine

Kim Kardashian is no stranger to stirring up controversy, but her latest photoshoot has generated quite a surprising backlash. Recently, she shared a striking set of images for Perfect Magazine, where she posed alongside a humanoid robot from Tesla and sat on top of a shiny Cybertruck. The shoot was intended to playfully highlight her reputation as being “robotic,” something she feels has been used to describe her in the media. “I think the big joke about doing the shoot with the robot is that I feel like I’m so robotic,” she explained. However, not everyone found it amusing.

Many people online expressed their disapproval, and it wasn’t just about the futuristic look of the photos. Critics viewed the shoot as a nod of support for Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, who is currently a controversial figure facing boycotts. One commenter remarked, “She definitely picked a side,” while another harshly suggested that the Cybertruck could be iconic only if it were on fire! The discussion quickly expanded beyond fashion, with some linking the imagery to international conflicts. “Well, that’s a very clear side just picked, the same one that sides with Russia. Not great,” one user stated.

This incident highlights how public figures like Kardashian are closely watched for their choices and associations. Even what might seem like a fun photoshoot can carry significant meaning. While she intended the shoot to be lighthearted, the timing raised concerns for many fans, especially with Musk’s political connections currently under scrutiny and Tesla facing criticism. Despite the backlash, Kardashian has chosen to stay quiet and let the photos speak for themselves. As always, she is navigating between bold fashion choices and cultural debates, showing that whatever she does, people will have something to say about it. It remains to be seen if she will respond to the controversy or move on to her next big moment.
