Additionally missed was The Weeknd, whose sixth album ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’ got here out in January, however didn’t garner him any nominations. His historical past with the Grammys is much more frayed than Lorde’s – in 2021, he declared he was boycotting the awards when ‘After Hours’ was snubbed, explaining the Grammys “stay corrupt” and saying the Academy “owe me, my followers and the trade transparency”.
That boycott got here to an finish at this 12 months’s ceremony, nonetheless, when he made a shock look on the present, performing ‘Cry For Me’ and ‘Timeless’. The backtracking has not helped him decide up nominations, nonetheless, and plenty of followers have famous the irony.
“Doing all that work to convey The Weeknd again into the Academy and make amends simply to play in his face once more,” wrote one X consumer. “Man no matter.”
