The Grammy Awards recently announced next year's nominees for several categories, and fans might be wondering why Adele's critically-acclaimed album "30" and her latest tracks didn't make the final cut; what happened?
According to E! News, neither the record nor its lead single "Easy on Me" was nominated in any category of the renowned awards show.
Did the Recording Academy snub Adele despite snagging several awards in the past? The answer is no.
The outlet mentioned that any of the singer's latest releases didn't make it to the edibility deadline last September 30.
The first round to determine the final nominees started on October 22, a few weeks before Adele dropped "30." The British star's latest record was released on November 19.
Fans shouldn't be sad because Adele is still eligible for the 2023 ceremony if she wishes to submit her songs or album.
Adele has won over 15 Grammy awards in the past, making her the fourth female artist to have the most trophies in the awards show.
She previously swept categories like Best Album, Best Song, Pop Solo Performance, Pop Vocal Album, and many more.

Adele's Thoughts On Having Many Streams, Positive Reviews
In a recent interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music 1, she mentioned that she's not writing music for the number of streams or critical acclaims.
Adele said it's not like that for her, saying, "when something is more powerful and overwhelming than me, I like to go to a studio because it's normally a basement, and there's no f****** windows and no reception, so no one can get ahold of me."
In addition, she said she's "basically running away," and no one else knew that she wrote a record. The singer added that her real intention is for her emotions to get out of her "system."
