The music industry and its enthusiasts are still buzzing as Tuesday (November 23) brought with it the highly anticipated unveiling of the 2022 GRAMMY nominations.
Honoring the year’s best and brightest in the music realm on January 31, 2022, the coveted tally expectedly listed the likes of chart-toppers Lil Nas X, Doja Cat, Cardi B, Kanye West, Drake, and Megan Thee Stallion as competitors for the ceremony’s top honors.
But, while jaws dropped to see Tayor Swift, Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, BTS, and more also mentioned alongside those hitmakers, some fan groups are steam pressed their favorites were placed in interesting categories or totally shut out.
Look inside to see who made That Grape Juice‘s list of ‘2022 GRAMMY Snubs and Surprises.’

Delusional àss fanbase.
Lol this list of noms shows how underwhelming music was in general this year.
Even the “misses” who didn’t get a nom. I’m never bothered as previous years. There was no ground breaking albums or songs. It’s giving TikTok awards.
I’m GLAD the Grammys paid Normani DUST, She Can’t SING!!!!
I want to say that I’m just to old for the grammies, but really everything is water down. I like lil Naz, but grammy? Maybe.I don’t know. Is Travis Scott and LIl Uzi nominated?
Tinashe wad also snubbed
who?
Every year at every award show I don’t understand!!!!!
How can people be mad that those females of color got snubbed WHN THEY ALLLLLLL SANG OR RAPPED ABOUT THEIR PUSSSIES AND HOW GOOD THEY ARE….AND TBEY ALL TALK ABOUT HOW THEY’RE EACH THE BEST THAT EVER DID IT
Alicia Keys- Alicia is nominated for Best Immersive Audio Album and Song Of The Year with Brandi Carlile.
Wow
Chloe, Normani, migos and miley being snubbed is not a snub, its natural. All of them are garbage and rubbish
The Grammy is so much garbage now. Won’t be watching.
The Grammy is so much garbage now. Won’t be watching. Where did these people come from? Anybody can get a career in singing
