Meanwhile Billie Eilish, 17, made history with six nominations, making her the youngest artist to be nominated for the top four categories, per the Los Angeles Times: best new artist, record, album, and song of the year. Lizzo is also nominated in each of the top categories, making this the first year the awards show has two new artists dominating the top four awards, per Billboard.
After spending 19 weeks at number one, "Old Town Road" snagged Lil Nas X a nomination for record of the year. The first-time nominee is up for six awards and he appropriately celebrated the announcement with a meme.
Notably missing from the list was breakout K-pop group BTS. Rolling Stone points out the award show is behind the times, as major American labels have been scooping up K-pop acts throughout 2019 and BTS's album Map of the Soul: Persona outsold Beyoncé's Homecoming.
For a full list of nominations, visit the Grammys website. To see who comes out on top, tune into the Grammy Awards Jan. 26 on CBS. Meanwhile, the internet will continue to war over who got snubbed and who snagged a nom they didn't deserve.
