66th Grammy Awards

SZA Is Not Bothered Losing AOTY Award At Grammys: “Only Way From Up Is Higher”

by

SZA had another solid outing at the Grammys this past weekend, taking home three awards. The Missouri-born R&B superstar won Best R&B Song for “Snooze,” and Best Urban Contemporary Album for SOS. Additionally, SZA would snag the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category for “Ghosts in the Machine” with Phoebe Bridgers. However, there is one trophy that every artist wants to add to their collection. That would be the Album Of The Year. SZA was going up against some stiff competition. Lana Del Rey, Olivia Rodrigo, Miley Cyrus, and of course Taylor Swift.

Expectedly, Taylor and her Swifties were able to celebrate another win as she took home the honors. While it might be a little disappointing for SZA, she is moving on from it. In fact, she has no ill will toward the Recording Academy or anyone else. TMZ even said that SZA and Taylor were chopping it up and enjoying each other’s company at the award show.

Sukihana Gets Dragged Mercilessly For NSFW Outfit At The Grammys

by

The annual musical event of the year took place over this past weekend and it brought out all the stars. We are talking about the 66th installment of the GRAMMY Awards. As all award shows do, they provide headlines galore for better or worse. Some of the biggest of the night, especially on the hip-hop side of things include Killer Mike. His evening went from triumphant to disastrous after he was arrested after nabbing three of the four categories for rap. Sukihana is also grabbing some attention but for all the wrong reasons.

Red carpet looks always bring out the most weird and stunning designs. Some want to look elegant and others want to make statements. Sukihana certainly made the latter with her peek-a-boo black leather dress. Her cropped top also featured some sharp spikes and it caught the eye of fans. Suki is a part of the new wave of “ratchet” female rappers that make extremely explicit tracks about sex, promiscuity, drugs, and violence.

“Ratchet” was just one description of her dress and fans were disappointed with her choice. One person says, “Yall always screaming ‘unapologetic’ when there really should be some apologizing going on 😪” Another chimes in, “Why do y’all embarrass y’all self in front of white people👩🏿👎🏼” There were also a few people that came to her defense, though. “But when Kim k do it it’s classy and iconic. Am I missing something here. Or we just putting down another black woman. What we do is not who we are.” There is certainly a debate to have, so check out the questions below.

What are your thoughts on Sukihana’s look for the red carpet at the 66th GRAMMY Awards? Do you think the fans are right that she dressed too inappropriately? Or, is she allowed to wear what she wants? Who had the best outfit at the show last night and why? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

Travis Scott Calls Out Grammys Mid-Performance After Being Snubbed 10 Times

by

Music award shows can be a controversial thing for artists or fans to discuss. For instance, we know how Drake and Eminem feel about the Recording Academy. Their opinions on the Grammys are well-documented at this point. Now, we know how Travis Scott views it. He let his emotions be clear as day during his hat-trick performance at the 66th Grammys last night. Travis Scott led with two of his most popular cuts from UTOPIA, “MY EYES” and I KNOW ?” The more mellow cuts were a stark contrast to the explosiveness of “FE!N.”

The rage track, featuring Playboi Carti, turned out to be the perfect moment for La Flame to set the Recording Academy ablaze. Travis Scott shouted “They slept on me 10 times!” in place of the song’s traditional lyrics. Yes, believe it or not, he has never won a GRAMMY award in 10 overall nominations. One of his most shocking snubs was back in 2018 when he lost Best Rap Album to Cardi B’s Invasion of Privacy.

Travis Let’s The Academy Know How He Feels

Many felt Cardi should not have won that year over all of the nominees. Fans of Travis Scott were expectedly stunned when they found out he was “snubbed” again. One fan comments, “lol if I’m trav im leavin.” Another adds, “man he should’ve won.” However, the winner this year was more respectable than back in 2018 in many people’s eyes. Killer Mike, one half of Run The Jewels, swept almost every rap category. He went on to take Best Rap Album, Rap Performance, and Rap Song. While UTOPIA was a great album, it seems Travis has to step his game up even further to snag a GRAMMY award.

What are your thoughts on Travis Scott saying that he was slept on during his “FE!N” performance at the Grammys? Do you think we will ever win an award, why or why not? Do you think he will continue to submit his work to the Recording Academy after going 0-10? Did he have the best performance of the night? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below.

The 2024 Grammy Awards are still months away, but as we enter the second half of the year, some buzz is starting to build over who will be honored during music’s biggest night. The Recording Academy added a spark today (June 29) when they answered some major questions about next year’s ceremony. For example: When will the nominations for the 2024 Grammys be announced?

The answer for when the 66th Annual Grammy Award nominees will be unveiled is November 10, 2023. More news about how that process will go down should be revealed closer to then.

There are some other key dates to keep in mind as well. For starters, the eligibility window for works to be considered is from October 1, 2022 to September 15, 2023. After that, the first round of voting for Academy members will run from October 11 to 20, while the final round of voting will take place from this December 14 to January 4, 2024.

Then, there’s the actual show itself, which is currently scheduled for February 4, 2024 at Crypto.com Arena.

This news comes after the Academy shared some changes to the 2024 awards. For one, they’ve added three new categories: Best African Music Performance, Best Alternative Jazz Album, and Best Pop Dance Recording. They also revealed that the big four categories will have fewer nominees, and they outlined policies on music made using AI technology.
