It’s hard to think that the 2021 Grammy Awards are nearly upon us because I swear the 2020 ceremony was like… last week. But they’re nearly here, which means that the nominations have been announced and are now ready for your judging pleasure.
Honestly, it’s a great year for women in music, with them dominating a number of categories, including Best Rock Performance, which is a straight-up ladies show this year for the first time *ever*.
Dua Lipa, Phoebe Bridgers, Doja Cat and Billie Eilish all managed to cop a few nominations, in amongst the obvious dominators like Beyonce and Taylor Swift.
The 63rd Grammy Awards will take place on Sunday, January 31. We’ll be sure to keep you updated with all of the need-to-know info and where to watch the awards closer to the event.
In the meantime, kick back, relax and have a squiz through the full list of nominees for the 2021 Grammy Awards.
