The Weeknd, Lorde, and Other Notable Snubs in the 2026 Grammy Nominations

The nominations for the 2026 Grammy Awards revealed an exciting lineup, yet many celebrated artists found themselves overlooked.

As always, some big names missed the coveted nominations. Here’s a look at the most significant snubs:

Major Snubs of the 2026 Grammys

• The Weeknd - Despite being eligible in categories like Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for his album Hurry Up Tomorrow, The Weeknd received no nominations. Fans were disappointed after his successful year with hits like Timeless.
• Lorde - The singer's critically acclaimed album Virgin did not earn her any nominations, despite her previous Grammy success.
• Benson Boone - After his viral hit Beautiful Things, Boone failed to secure any nominations, despite being recognized as a promising artist last year.
• Elton John and Brandi Carlile - Their collaboration on Who Believes in Angels? was surprisingly overlooked in major categories, though they received a nod for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.
• Role Model - The artist missed out entirely, despite a strong presence in 2025 with his catchy single Sally, When the Wine Runs Out.

The 2026 Grammy Awards are set to air live on February 1, 2026, from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Fans eagerly await to see who will take home the coveted awards, especially after such notable omissions.
