• The 2021 Grammy Awards nominations were announced on Tuesday.
• Fiona Apple, Bad Bunny, BTS, and Phoebe Bridgers were all snubbed in major categories.

• BLACKPINK, Ashe, BENEE, and Finneas all deserved to be nominated for best new artist, but none were.

Nominations for the 2021 Grammy Awards were announced on Tuesday.

The 63rd annual ceremony will honor music released within the eligibility period, from September 1, 2019 to August 31, 2020. The show will be broadcast live on January 31, 2021 at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.

Standout nominees this year include Beyoncé, who leads the pack thanks to "Black Is King" and "Black Parade," Taylor Swift, whose "Folklore" already feels like the album of the year, Dua Lipa, and Megan Thee Stallion.

There's plenty to celebrate about this year's (largely female) array of potential winners — but, as usual, there were hit songs, renowned artists, and beloved albums that were left neglected.
