The news was delivered in an hour-long live-streamed show on the Recording Academy’s official YouTube channel, with John Legend, Olivia Rodrigo and more guests there to announce each category’s competitors. It brought an end to many weeks of speculation over who will face off at the Feb. 5, 2023 ceremony, particularly in the contentious album of the year category.

The real showdown is still a couple months away, but first-time nominees and Grammy vets alike are taking to social media to share their excitement in lieu of the honor — because, as everyone knows, it’s an honor just to be nominated.
“I’M CRYING,” wrote GAYLE, who received her first ever nod for song of the year with “abcdefu,” posting a tearful selfie on her Instagram story. “SONG OF THE F–KING YEAR.”
Lizzo started her day with a major surprise: that her album Special was nominated alongside her pal Harry Styles, Kendrick Lamar, Bad Bunny and more. “I JUST WOKE UP WHATS GOING ON?!?!?” she tweeted minutes after the Grammy noms were announced.
Anitta shared an emotional video reacting to her name being announced in the best new artist category. “Thank you, thank you, thank you… grateful forever,” she tweeted. “Winning or losing this is the biggest achievement I could ever imagine.”
