2018 GRAMMY AWARDS - Who Got Snubbed?

With each year, Grammy Award nominations bring about emotions of excitement, surprise and sometimes, rage. This year will be no different as the nominations have arrived and fans across the world have let their feelings known on whether their favorite artist snubbed or not.

Starting off with Harry Styles, it seems he has been completely shut out of this year's Grammy Awards. Styles' debut solo album, which was produced by 2016 Grammy Producer of the Year Jeff Bhasker, won over critics and doubters alike and the album has two hits "Sign of the Times" and "Two Ghosts" but the album did not receive any Grammy love and Styles will have to try again next time.

Ed Sheeran seems to be the biggest snub of the year while still earning two Grammy nods. Some believed that the 2018 Grammys would be a two-man race between Hip-Hop artist Kendrick Lamar and Ed Sheeran and while Lamar scored some seven noms, Sheeran onyl got two. His fans on twitter came out in force expressing their disappointment. Here are some of their reactions;

Taylor Swift was also shut out with none of her "Reputation" songs getting any nominations. While Swift can still win some nods with the 2019 Grammy Awards, due to the fact that while she released a few songs before the 2018 deadline, she released her entire album after the 2018 deadline, the two songs she released from her latest album, "Reputation," are not in the running.

The Recording Academy kicked off the 60th GRAMMY AWARDS nominations by revealing nominees in the four General Field categories (Best New Artist, Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year, and Album Of The Year) live on CBS THIS MORNING.
