It looks like the Recording Academy is saying ‘thank u, next’ to Pop darlings Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift as both chart-toppers were serially snubbed at this year’s Grammy Awards despite entering the ceremony with multiple nominations.
Details inside:
Ariana Grande dominated 2019 with hits from her blockbuster ‘thank u, next’ album. Reigning atop the Hot 100 with its tunes ‘7 Rings,’ ‘Break Up with Your Girlfriend,’ ‘thank u, next’ (the song), and more, it came as no surprise when it was announced the 26-year-old had scored five nods at the 2020 Grammy ceremony including RECORD OF THE YEAR (“7 rings”) and ALBUM OF THE YEAR (“thank u, next”).
Rocking the night’s stage with a medley of the LP’s favorites (as seen above), it later became apparent the appearance would be the only time she graced the platform as she – much like gal pal Taylor Swift (who earned three nods including mention in the SONG OF THE YEAR category for work found aboard her ‘Lover’ album) – left the event empty-handed.
Needless to say, the absence of acceptance speeches saw their fan bases – affectionately called #Arianators and #Swifties respectively – outraged. See highlights of their responses to the tragedies below:

The grammys keep getting worst and worst. But did Ari and TyTy fan realley think they could beat that werdio Billie chick?
Why TGJ keep making articles based on random people tweets? Who cares…
I love Tay Tay and Ari but I’m not even bothered Billie won.
I love and vibe and her album was one of the greatest I’ve heard this year alongside with lover and Norma f*cking Rockwell.
She deserved*
Who cares?! Camila didn’t win and that’s all that matters. Camila Cabello could perform a hysterectomy on Obama in space and perform one of her songs and still, nobody would care except her ONE rabid fan on this blog. ??
??????????
Don’t you dare disrespect President Obama on your imbecileness
Taylor has 2 album of the year Grammys she’ll be fine and thank u next is good not Ariana’s best work so ?♀️
I mean, both had terrible albums by Grammys standards. They shouldn’t have even been nominated. Secondly we must stop using the word snubbed. Everyone can’t win. Snubbed is only fitting when an artist put out a game charging body of work that is both critically acclaimed and commercially successful but still doesn’t get an award. There was nothing groundbreaking about Taylor or Ariana’s projects.
This!
Meme, thank you! The Grammys sent Mariah Carey home Grammyless on the iconic, 25 million selling Daydream album! Ariana and her fans should’ve known better with her lil album, damn lol
#JusticeForLemonade
Lemonpiss was an awful album which relied HEAVILY on visuals and marital problem whòring. ?♂️
I said at the beginning of the show that arianna was used to get viewers. No wins and she probably performed the medley they asked her to perform last year. A lot of artist that leave empty handed. She will live .
They used Camila and shawn to get viewers also.
Everybody thought Camila and shawn were gonna perform their number one song, (not everybody has that to their credit)
Well, I’m happy for everyone
C u next year.
Best pop solo performance- first man
Best pop vocal collaboration- my oh my
Best pop vocal album- romance
Best music video short form- my oh my
Record of the year- my oh my.
What the f*** y been smokin B**** ur Crazy as hell!!!
LOL
Boo. Cry me a river. Ariana can win a Grammy once she becomes her own artist and finds her own identity instead of chasing trends.
She has a Grammy
And it’ll be her last ?♂️
That’s what happens when you nominate artists with a fan base full of children. They always cry foul over the little things. This isn’t VMA’s or BBMA’s. It’s not just about album sales and chart position. I saw someone said Ariana’s been through so much and poured her heart into making that album. LMAO! As if she’s the only artist who poured her heart into making an album. Jeez… Lover and TYN aren’t even ground-breaking albums. I understood the protest over Lemonade not winning, but TNY? LOL!
Both of them are trash.
Sorry but both albums were average at best. Ariana was just used for viewers. I can not say either Ari or Taylor were snubbed.
Maybe Ariana shouldn’t have been a brat last year when she boycotted the Grammy’s. The one and only time she WON a Grammy, she didn’t go because of a temper tantrum. As much as I like Ari’s music, I see her as nothing but a brat, especially after that donut licking scandal.
