After the 2021 nominees were announced, the Weeknd announced his intentions to boycott the Grammys going forward when After Hours and “Blinding Lights” received zero nominations. Still, he got recognized three times this year.
Ahead of today’s announcement, Taylor Swift revealed that she would not submit Fearless (Taylor’s Version) for consideration, instead focusing on a campaign for Evermore.
Cardi B’s and Megan Thee Stallion’s 2020 single “WAP” was previously withheld from 2021 Grammy consideration; plans called for it to be submitted for the 2022 Grammys with a Cardi B album that never materialized.
