Thanks to her blockbuster 2022 album, ‘SOS,’ R&B singer-songwriter SZA entered the 2024 GRAMMYs as the night’s most-nominated act (9).
Rightfully so, as the project had not only birthed multiple Billboard Hot 100 dominating hits (‘Kill Bill,’ ‘Snooze,’ and more) but was easily one of the most critically acclaimed albums of its genre in years.
For its critical and commercial successes, many of her dedicated fans figured the project would be a shoo-in for the award show’s most prestigious honor.
Much to their surprise and chagrin, the LP and its content did not capture one of the Big 3 categories it was nominated in.
After watching Song of the Year get awarded to Billie Eilish, SZA (born Solana Rowe) applauded as Miley Cyrus won Record of the Year.
For some Solana supporters, the final straw came when Taylor Swift collected the Album of the Year trophy – marking the fourth time she’s done so over her career.
Taking to Twitter in droves to express their disappointment, many did not hold back their criticism of the GRAMMYs.
For some, the snubs were reminiscent of the GRAMMYs’ treatment of her debut album, ‘CTRL,’ which entered the 2018 ceremony with 5 awards but left with none.
Unlike that night, at least SZA did capture three trophies on Sunday night (February 4) – Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, Best R&B Song, and Best Progressive R&B Album.

Better content next round. No shock
Killing an ex, and more side chick/ s*** songs
She did get one
Blacks doesn’t have the creativity most people think! Most hip-hop/rap are just samples, ghetto or too cringy!!
🥱
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Like pop music doesn’t sample the work of black artists.
Welcome to the bring black in America club.
I would have been happy if someone else won Album of the Year. Taylor did not deserve the award. What a joke! Ridiculous! At this point the Grammys was a joke to award Taylor again with this award! Jon Batiste should have won the award. There is a private committee that chooses the big winners. I’m not surprised if Taylor paid them so she could break the record. Gross!
The focus so much on writings! Producing…
Sore much 😂
This was a insult! Album of the year should have been Sza’s SOS! Period the grammy’s are prejudiced! I will never waste my time watching another telecast of the white washed show! Black people have no chance esp. Black women pitiful! Taylor swift has 4 album of theyeas awards and Beyonce, SZA and Toni Braxton , andJanet Jackson have none?!? Ridiculous and prejudice no Black woman has won sine Ms.L Hill in 1999 ?!? Outrageous! Outrageous! Not even Mariah Carey ?!? Just sad.
SZA whooooo??
Who wants to listen to your ghetto life???
Stop sleeping on Taylor Swift. Like, it’s literally not a game. If the girls are ever gonna win, learn from the legend. This is not the first Rodeo, everybody, shut the f*** up lmao
As much as I love SZA, she just has to keep working as hard as she does and release ‘Lana’ ASAP. And then work on the next album. Be consistent. Don’t take long breaks. No more 5 year hiatus between albums. Continue to make albums with good concepts, writing, production etc. Taylor’s ‘poet’ album is coming out soon, I think April. TS is consistent. Her music isn’t fast food type music. It has depth, it’s relatable to the masses. I’m not a massive fan of TS but you can’t deny her skills. With writing and concepts for each album. Her loyal fanbase adds to her commercial success of course. And it helps she’s not problematic. If other artists want to win, they have to keep up. That Jay Z speech was embarrassing.
she is sucks. tailor sh*ts new album every 6 months.
ts is SO overrated. i don’t get it at all.
