2024 Grammy nominations snubs and surprises: Love for Lana Del Rey, not so much for Drake or Morgan Wallen

PinkPantheress, Ice Spice – Boy’s a liar Pt. 2 (Official Video)

While it’s always fun to see less mainstream musicians crack the Best New Artist category, it’s nevertheless a surprise when some of the year’s buzziest young performers don’t make the cut. Ice Spice getting the nod but not PinkPantheress, with whom she collaborated on the popular “Boy’s A Liar Pt. 2,” is one example. Reneé Rapp, who had the biggest female debut album of the year with Snow Angel (and is the face of the new Mean Girls musical), also missed out on a Best New Artist nom.

Disney Channel alum Sabrina Carpenter also missed out on a nomination in this category despite a big year opening for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour (perhaps bumped in favor of another DCOM star, Coco Jones). Then there’s country singer Lainey Wilson, who scored nominations for Best Country Album and Best Country Duo/Group Performance but missed out on the Best New Artist category, though her collaborator Jelly Roll made the cut.
