While many of the artists invited last night definitely had a blast, many fans were quite surprised with the number of acts and songs that did not manage to take home any Gramophone.
Like any awards show, only one person wins in every category - except for a surprising tie. However, for the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, there was no such thing as a tie, as an artist either won or not.
We have listed out what we thought to be the biggest Grammy snubs last night!
2023 Grammy Awards Losers
Doja Cat
As always, Doja Cat looked fashionably "camp" in her outfits on the red carpet and during the show. However, it seems like her online clout and reaches still don't seem to translate to more Grammy wins. In 2021, during her biggest era yet, Doja was snubbed for Best New Artist, and her mammoth single "Say So," was also ignored. In 2022, despite being the second-most nominated artist of the night, Doja only managed to win one.
This year, with five nominations, Doja went home without a Gramophone, which was one of the big shockers of the night.
Mary J. Blige
Blige is already a Grammy royalty, with nine awards on her belt; many would expect that she would at least take home one or two trophies. However, her "Good Morning Gorgeous" failed to score even one.
DJ Khaled, JAY-Z
DJ Khaled's "GOD DID," was one of the biggest surprises during the nomination season. JAY-Z, who has collaborated with Khaled on the record, also failed to take home any. While they gave everyone somewhat of a big supper on their ensemble performance with Fridayy, John Legen, and Rick Ross, the two went home without any award.
2023 Grammy Awards Snubs
Anitta, Maneskin, Latto, Omar Apollo
Samara Joy managed to take home the Best New Artist Award - which has also shocked many, including herself too. However, the most obvious and highly-predicted acts, like Anitta, Latto, Omar Apollo, and Maneskin, failed to take home any award for themselves - which was a letdown for their fans, who have been debating on Twitter endlessly in the past few weeks.
Diana Ross & Bjork
The two veteran artists were nominated respectively in their own genres, Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album and Best Alternative Music Album. However, the two lost their own categories to younger artists - Michael Buble and Wet Leg. The two, despite their revered status in the music industry, have never won a competitive Grammy award. Ross only got two-lifetime achievement awards.
Taylor Swift
Everyone knows that Taylor Swift is in the music industry. With her stunning Billboard Hot 100 sweep last October at the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10, and selling the most albums than any artist on the planet with "Midnights" - everyone expected that Swift would get more than one Grammy last night. While Swift won Best Music Video for "All Too Well: The Short Film," many have anticipated that she would score Song of the Year for her 10-minute version of the same song. However, Bonnie Raitt won the award, to everyone's surprise.
