The highly anticipated Grammys 2018 nominations are in and as usual, the fandoms are in a state of shock.
Beliebers will be stoked to learn that Justin Bieber‘s banger with Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee “Despacito” is up for Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best Pop Group Performance.
Meanwhile Lorde lovers are celebrating their girl’s album Melodrama scoring nominations in the Album Of The Year category.
And, of course, Swifties are cheering at the news that Taylor Swift has received a nomination for her country song “Better Man.”
But aren’t the Grammys board forgetting about a certain someone who released one of the best albums of 2017 all time?
A certain banger-filled record featuring song after song of soul-melting goodness that received critical acclaim from fans and critics alike?
We are, of course, referring to this masterpiece by the legendary Harry Styles:
Our boy’s album and singles failed to score any Grammys love and we just wanna know why tbh!
Little Monsters and Sheeranators are also up in arms RN as their icons Lady Gaga and Ed Sheeran only scored two nominations each when they were more than eligible for other categories.
