2016 Grammy Nominations!

Grammy Nominations

The 2016 Grammy nominations are HERE! As expected, Ed Sheeran, The Weekend, and Taylor Swift are heavily represented, but it was Kendrick Lamar who received the most (eleven!) nominations, mostly for his extremely well received rap album “To Kill a Butterfly”.  Taylor Swift comes in at second place with seven nominations, which, if history repeats itself, means that she will probably take home seven Grammys. Besides these obvious front runners, there were several surprises, like Drake’s diss track towards Meek Mill “Back to Back” earning a nomination while his certified hit “Hotline Bling,” did not.

(I’m only showing a few nomination highlights, because who really cares about the rest of the awards, to be honest, but you can see the rest here if you want.)
