Pretty sure we can all agree that it’s been a ~woke~ year in music with gals like Little Mix slaying the scene and of course, the epic solo debut of our bae Harry Styles.

And while most of the nominees are V well deserved, we couldn’t help but notice some other V deserving artists were left off the list like Nicki MinajLady Gaga (“Perfect Illusion” was lit!) and Dua Lipa (um, how did she not get nommed for Best New Artist!?).

Meanwhile, you’ll notice that feuding exes Calvin Harris and Taylor Swift are going head-to-head in the Best Collaboration category.

Get it, Tay!
