The Grammy Awards'
The year represents the year in which the Grammy Awards were awarded for works published in the previous year. Supposedly, winning the award for best new artist is considered by many to be a curse, as many artists who have won this award have not been able to repeat the success they achieved in the year of their debut.
Formally, there are no cash prizes associated with winning a Grammy award and even selling the statue is against the rules of the Recording Academy, the organization that presents the awards.
Last year, Drake earned a pair of Grammy nominations in the rap categories, but he later asked the Recording Academy to rescind them, as he apparently wasn't interested in the recognition.
Sinead O'Connor has always been an artist who refuses to beat to the sound of anyone else's drum. The Irish singer is a maverick in the truest sense of the word, and O'Connor proved this in 1991 when she turned down an award from the Grammys.
Due to a disagreement with Grammy producers over which songs she would perform, Ariana Grande, who has been featured on billboards promoting the show all over Los Angeles, not only won't be performing at the Feb. 10 show, she will not even be attending it, according to sources close to the situation.
The singer chose not to come to the Los Angeles ceremony, although her absence isn't all too surprising. Not only does Grande not have any nominations this year, but she's also been in the U.K., filming Wicked, for months. Grande has kept a lower profile generally while working on the project.
In an interview, Eminem said of the award show, “I'm tired of seeing it. For whatever reason, they're always pitching this hint that you might win album of the year, which used to be a big deal.
Controversy. The religious aspect of Minaj's performance was seen as disrespectful towards by the Catholic Church. As Nicki said in an interview with Extra: "I've been doing theatre my whole life.....you are doing a musical, right? So if you saw a scene with a church is that blasphemous?
The reason Cardi B didn't attend this year's Grammys is fairly simple: “I'm not going to a [sic] award [show] if I don't got a new song to perform or my album ain't out… Next year,” Cardi shared on social media, per Billboard.
The trophies are actually made of a zinc alloy, which Billings dubbed Grammyum, and then plated in gold. Based on the cost of materials, each award is estimated to be worth $15. However, once the statuette has been awarded, the actual value drops to 0.
However, once the statuette is awarded, its actual value drops to $0, as the Recording Academy prohibits the resale of its awards. Although the award has no value, there is a monetary addition to the winners due to the phenomenon known as the 'Grammy bounce.
The record for the most Grammy Awards won in a lifetime is held by Beyoncé, an American singer, songwriter, record producer and dancer, who has won 32. It was previously held by Georg Solti, a Hungarian-British conductor, who won 31.
When the album was nominated for several Grammys in February 1991, O'Connor shocked the industry. Not only did the artist bail on attending the celebrated event, she also refused to accept any awards if she won (which she did for Best Alternative Music Performance).
8-year-old Leah Peasall, who won in 2002 after being featured on the "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" soundtrack, holds the record as the youngest-ever Grammy winner. Blue Ivy Carter, at 9, became the second-youngest in 2021.
30 Years Ago Milli Vanilli Won The Only Grammy That's Ever Been Revoked. Maybe you've seen the clip. There's Rob and Fab, the two model-handsome faces of Milli Vanilli, cavorting around onstage at a July 1989 MTV concert to their #2 hit “Girl You Know It's True” when the backing recording — or is it main recording?
Kanye West has been barred from performing at the Grammy Awards due to his “concerning online behavior,” a rep for the artist confirms to Variety. Reps for the Recording Academy and CBS, which present the Grammys, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
But Jungkook, J-Hope, Jin, Jimin, Suga, RM, and V all didn't come out to Los Angeles for the ceremony. Jin is serving military duty right now, which explains his absence. None of them were photographed on the red carpet.
She was the first lead artist to top the Billboard Global 200. Her accolades include a Grammy Award, eight Billboard Music Awards, six Guinness World Records, six American Music Awards, 14 BET Hip Hop Awards, and two ASCAP Songwriter of the Year awards.
In 2018, Drake refused to submit his album More Life for Grammys consideration after being frustrated that his single Hotline Bling won best rap song in 2017 despite not featuring rap. “Maybe because I've rapped in the past or because I'm Black, I can't figure out why,” he said at the time.
She has received numerous awards throughout her career, including 9 Grammy Awards, 5 American Music Awards, and 22 Billboard Music Awards.
The singer, who is actually up for Album of the Year for “Evermore,” decided to forgo the red carpet. She is only nominated for one award tonight, so it's a good chance that she just wanted to keep things low-key the night.
Gomez opted to not attend the show tonight for a very fair reason: She has no direct nominations, although she is credited in Coldplay's Music of Spheres album nomination for Album of the Year, as she collaborated with the band on “Let Somebody Go.”
There's speculation that she didn't want to make a huge deal over her one nomination. Others said that as the show was in Las Vegas, perhaps she didn't want to take a flight or was attempting to keep things low-key.
