Once again, the Grammys managed to disappoint millions by not awarding Lana Del Rey with a single award! Lana was nominated in five categories, including the coveted Album of the Year award, which was won by her friend Taylor Swift (but we’ll talk about her and that uncomfortable moment in a minute).
So far, Lana Del Rey has eleven nominations in her career and she’s never won anything. Just like Miley Cyrus, who after decades in the business, just won her very first two Grammys this year. Naturally, all fans were outraged and even made “Justice for Lana del Rey” viral on social media, since they think she keeps being robbed.
Besides the fact that fans considered Lana had been snubbed once again, they also made viral some photos where she looked angry and even uncomfortable when her pal Taylor forced her to join her on stage to receive her Album of the Year award.
Truth be told, probably Taylor Swift intended to celebrate with Lana, with whom she collaborated on a song on Midnights. However, many Netizens also claim that this moment and Taylor pestering Lana all night on the red carpet was egocentric and didn’t even allow her to shine on her own once. But that’s another tea since our Lana has another perception of the night.
The “A&W” singer, responded to a post on Instagram to shut down all rumors surrounding her attendance at the event. “I literally just loved being there. I love to see everyone, get the tea, and hang out. Get dressed up. I literally did not feel 1 ounce of negative emotion at any point in that award ceremony. It was pure funniness and laughter,” said Lana.
At the end of the day, there are always winners and losers in these awards, and for Lana Del Rey, someone who doesn’t love putting herself out in the spotlight, we can even say it was a lovely night. She even got a nod from her friend Taylor when she said: “I think so many female artists would not be where they are and would not have the inspiration they have if it weren’t for the work that Lana has done. I think she’s a legacy artist, a legend in her prime right now. I’m so lucky to know you and to be your friend.”
