Kanye West, Taylor Swift, ABBA and others are added to the Grammys nominees list
report published Wednesday said West and Swift, already nominated in other categories, were late additions to the album of the year lineup, with the rapper’s Donda album and the singer’s Evermore joining a list containing albums from Justin Bieber, Olivia Rodrigo, Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga, Doja Cat, H.E.R., Billie Eilish, Lil Nas X and Jon Batiste.
The Times reports that it was possible to see which artists were added last minute as those names were absent from the “final nominations list” of eight names in those categories, a list the newspaper says was created several days before and which it had obtained.
Last year, Canadian singer The Weeknd said he would boycott the awards after his album After Hours incredibly failed to gain a single nomination, despite huge commercial, critical and chart success. After the shocking snub, The Weeknd, a hugely influential artist, declared the Grammys to be “corrupt.”
