Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news It was one of three nominations the Puerto Rican superstar scooped for his mega-successful set, and many had anticipated it.

Taylor Swift, Jack Antonoff & St. Vincent Are No Longer Grammy Nominees for Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘Sour’
When the Grammy nominations were announced on Nov. 23, Taylor Swift, Jack Antonoff and St. Vincent were listed as album of the year nominees for their role as songwriters on Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour.

Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga and ABBA might want to thank the Recording Academy for getting rid of its nominations review committees. Wizkid might feel differently. This year, for the first time in 27 years, the final nominations in the Grammys’ Big Four categories were determined by the Academy’s 11,000 voting members without being second-guessed by a review committee.
