Awards season isn’t just about movies and television. Music gets its own day to shine with the highly-anticipated Grammy Awards. This year, since some of the artists who always take home awards aren’t nominated, there are some very interesting nominees and music proposals that might win this time. Also, with Cardi B, J Balvin, and Bad Bunny leading one of the most important categories, we can say that the Grammys have never been so diverse and surprising.
Though the entire list includes about seventy different categories, we’re going to save you some time and give you the list of nominees in the most popular categories. Is your favorite on the list? Take a look!
