Listen, Jennifer Lopez does not age, and if you need further proof, please direct your eyes to Versace's Spring 2020 runway.J.Lo strutted her stuff in a design that was almost identical to the iconic dress she wore to the 2000 Grammys.
This morning's announcement of the 2021 Grammy Awards nominations came with some very good news for fans of Beyoncé and Taylor Swift and marked major milestones for both BTS and Harry Styles, who nabbed their very first noms. Big news aside (Beyoncé is the one to beat with nine nominations total), Twitter stans rallied around their favorite artists, celebrating the news in the only way they know how: with GIFs and fancams.

Megan's four nominations include Best New Artist — and her reaction was flawless.
