Grammy Nominations 2019: The Full List
The Grammys unveiled its list of 2019 nominees this morning, and Cardi B and Janelle Monae both have a lot to celebrate. Both women were honored with Album of the Year nominations (for Invasion of Privacy and Dirty Computer, respectively). Drake also scored big with nominations for Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year, in addition to the rap categories. A welcome surprise (or maybe not-so-surprise) is Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's song "Shallow" from A Star Is Born, which earned nods in both Record of the Year and Song of the Year.
Notable snubs included Taylor Swift, a normal Grammys favorite, who only scored a nomination in Best Pop Vocal Album for Reputation. Beyoncé and Jay-Z's joint album, Everything Is Love, was also shut out of the major categories, though they did earn a nod for Best Music Video (APES***).
