Grammy nominations for Song of the Year have gone to the writers behind GAYLE's "abcdefu," Lizzo's "About Damn Time," Taylor Swift's "All Too Well," Harry Styles' "As it Was," Steve Lacy's "Bad Habit," Beyoncé's "Break My Soul," Adele's "Easy on Me," DJ Khaled's "God Did," Kendrick Lamar's "The Heart Part 5" and Bonnie Raitt's "Just Like That."
The 65th annual Grammy Awards will be Feb. 5 at Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles.
A pair of artists who did not hear their names called Tuesday morning are The Weeknd and Drake, who did not submit their work for Grammy consideration this year.
The Weeknd cut ties with the Grammys a year ago after he was snubbed for any nominations, despite having one of the top-selling albums and songs of the year. The dust-up led to an overhaul of the Grammy nominations process, with the Recording Academy doing away with secretive nominating committees and instead allowing its membership at large to vote on the honors.
The other top category at the Grammys, best new artist, appears to be a toss-up, but look for nominees to include performers such as Latto, Anitta, Dove Cameron, Mitski and Steve Lacy.
