The 2020 Grammy Awards nominations have been announced and music’s biggest stars couldn’t be more excited!
On Wednesday morning, the Recording Academy announced the nominees for the 62nd Grammy Awards, set to take place Jan. 26, 2020, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. First-time nominee Lizzo led this year’s crop of hopefuls with a total of eight nominations, including record of the year and song of the year for “Truth Hurts,” album of the year for Cuz I Love You and best new artist.
Two other first-time nominees, Billie Eilish and Lil Nas X, follow closely behind her with six nominations each, while other musicians nominated include Ariana Grande, the Jonas Brothers, H.E.R., Beyoncé and Taylor Swift.
On Twitter on Wednesday, Lizzo, 31, thanked her fans with a slew of all-caps excited tweets.
“THIS HAS BEEN AN INCREDIBLE YEAR FOR MUSIC AND IM JUST SO THANKFUL TO EVEN BE PART OF IT,” she wrote, responding to another tweet which simply read, “THANK YOU.”
“WE ARE ALL WINNERS,” she added in a third tweet.
