And shout-out to Chance for a little self-promotion. Praises to the most high for the new rule that allows streaming-only projects such as Chance The Rapper’s Coloring Book mixtape to be considered for awards. There’s zero chance the outcome of the faceoff between Beyoncé and Adele will disappoint as much as that one did.īEST NEW ARTIST: Chance’s blessings could continue It might be hard for Bey to take down the behemoth that was 25 in the album of the year category, but a win for Formation as the song of the year would also be cause for celebration for Khalif Brown, aka Swae Lee from Rae Sremmurd, who co-wrote the track.Īt last year’s Grammys, Taylor Swift’s 1989 won album of the year over Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp A Butterfly. There are some great nominations in the top three categories - from Drake’s long-awaited ode to Toronto Views, to his smash summer with Rihanna, Work(which to my chagrin only got nominated once), to even Justin Bieber’s track Love Yourself, which had one of my favorite lines of 2015: “ My mama don’t like you, and she likes everyone.” But everyone knows the Big 3 - record, album and song of the year - is a battle between Beyoncé and Adele. RECORD, ALBUM AND SONG OF THE YEAR: Beyoncé vs. There are 84 categories at the Grammys, but here are the 11 we’re paying attention to the most: As the #BeyHive will tell you, there’s nothing Beyoncé can’t do, but standing in her way of musical immortality is no other than Adele, whose diamond album 25 earned her five nominations. It’s a tall task, but if she wins eight out of nine in February, she’ll pass Alison Krauss as the most-awarded woman in Grammy history. The on-and-off-again couple everyone wants to stop messing around and be together, Drake and Rihanna, each received eight nods for Views and for Anti, respectively, while Kanye West also notched eight for The Life of Pablo and Chance The Rapper’s fairytale year continued with seven for both his work with West and Coloring Book, a project he’ll empathically tell you was a mixtape, not an album.īeyoncé now has 62 total nominations in her career - more than any other female artist in history.
The nominations for the 59th Annual Grammy Awards were announced Tuesday, and Queen Bey leads the 2017 field with nine nominations for Lemonade. The singer, who wasn't slated to perform, brought her own ~~accessories~~ to the show and all the Rihanna's diamond flask tweets and memes are a reminder that she's having more fun than all of us - except maybe Blue Ivy, but she can't drink yet, so she's out of the running for this race, OK? Nominated for seven awards this year - Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for "Work" Best Urban Contemporary Album for Anti Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for "Famous" Best Recording Package for Anti Best R&B Performance for "Needed Me" Record of the Year for "Work" and Best R&B Song for "Kiss It Better" - it felt like 2017's award show would be an opportunity for Rihanna to sit back and enjoy the night without all the pressure of putting on a performance.Īnd with the show quickly winding down, we see that Rihanna was actually one of the most memorable acts of the night, not for her presence on the stage, but for her antics off the stage - all thanks to her diamond flask.All hail Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter. Show me an adult who is having a better time at the Grammys than Rihanna and I'll literally fork over my savings.
