She is nominated for three awards for “Right on Time” – record of the year, song of the year and best pop solo performance. It’s possible that her voters would have been more inclined to find her and vote for her in the country album category.Ĭarlile’s “Right on Time” was moved from the American roots music field to pop. Those were Musgraves’ only nominations this year. It wound up not being nominated in that category, though a track from the album, “Camera Roll,” was nominated for best country solo performance and best country song.

Musgraves’ star-crossed was moved from best country album to best pop vocal album. Kacey Musgraves and Brandi Carlile both made headlines in the run-up to the announcement of the Grammy nominations when they or their representatives expressed displeasure that their recordings had been moved. That could be in part because his supporters in the Academy are more apt to vote in the pop field than in R&B, but “Peaches” was nominated for best R&B performance – Bieber’s first nomination ever in an R&B category. Justin Bieber’s soul/pop jam “Peaches,” featuring Daniel Caesar and Giveon, is nominated for song of the year, but was passed over for a nod for best R&B song. He was this year’s leading Grammy nominee, with 11 total nominations, the most by any artist since Kendrick Lamar amassed 11 nods six years ago. But Batiste’s failure to land a nod for best R&B performance is a surprise.

They are ABBA’s “I Still Have Faith in You” (which was passed over for a nod for best pop duo/group performance) and Jon Batiste’s “Freedom” (which was passed over for a nod for best R&B performance).ĪBBA’s record of the year nod is the group’s first Grammy nomination in any category, so its failure to land a nod for best pop duo/group performance is not a surprise. Two other record of the year nominees were passed over for nominations in performance categories this year. It’s possible that some of Lil Nas X’s supporters in the Academy simply didn’t vote in the pop field, focusing instead on rap and R&B. Grammy voters were allowed to vote in up to three musical fields, in addition to the General Field, the Academy’s name for the Big Four categories: album, record and song of the year, plus best new artist. Lil Nas X’s only nomination in a genre-specific category was best melodic rap performance for “Industry Baby,” featuring Jack Harlow.
