The 2025 Grammy nominations have been announced, and as always, there are some major snubs that have left fans and critics scratching their heads. Despite their massive success and critical acclaim, some of the biggest names in the music industry have been overlooked or downplayed in the nominations.
One of the most surprising snubs is Ariana Grande, who has been dominating the charts and breaking records since her debut. Despite releasing multiple hit albums and singles, Grande failed to receive a single nomination. This is especially shocking considering her recent album, Positions, received widespread praise and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart.
Another major snub is Megan Thee Stallion, who has had a breakout year with her hit singles “Savage” and “WAP.” Despite her undeniable talent and impact on the music industry, she only received one nomination for Best Rap Performance. Many fans and critics believe she deserved more recognition, especially in the Album of the Year category for her debut album, Good News.
Dua Lipa, who won multiple Grammys in 2021 for her album Future Nostalgia, was also surprisingly left out of the major categories. Despite her album being a critical and commercial success, she only received one nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album. This is a major snub for Lipa, who has been hailed as one of the biggest pop stars of her generation.
Another notable snub is Jack Antonoff, who has become one of the most sought-after producers in the music industry. Despite his work on multiple hit albums, including Taylor Swift’s Folklore and Lorde’s Solar Power, Antonoff did not receive any nominations. This is a major disappointment for fans and critics who recognize his talent and contribution to the music industry.
While the Grammy nominations are always subject to debate, these snubs have left many questioning the credibility and fairness of the awards. It’s clear that some of the biggest names in music have been overlooked, and it remains to be seen how the winners will be chosen and if any of these artists will be recognized in the future.
