PARADIXO

Lana (5), Olivia Rodrigo (6) and Jon Batiste (6) were the most nominated artists without a single win at the Grammys 2024.

I'm really disappointed because, just like most of you guys, I was so confident she was taking home at least one award. I know it's a competition and I don't want Lana to be a victim but this is all so unfair. Everyone was getting their awards, and nothing for Lana? Who was second best selling woman in the world, even more than the people she lost against? Who had one of the most monumental, critically applauded albums of the 2020s? Who didn't stop making the news for her magnetic performances at some of the most important festivals in the world? Who had the most talked-about album of the entire year? Midnights was the Best Pop Vocal Album, why give it the AOTY too? What Was I Made For won Best Song Written for Visual Media, the category it totally deserved as it was, well, the best song written for visual media of the bunch? How does that song reflect 2023 as Song of the Year, and not A&W with its actually thought-provoking lyrics? Boygenius for Best Alternative Music Album; I know The Record was acclaimed too, but in what world Ocean Blvd wasn't the alternative album of the year? The one that's actaully left-field, deeply conceptual, with multiple sounds, instruments, dynamics and lyrics that actually represent the alternative side of music; topics that aren't talked about, that are feared by most, and not as explored as they should. Why give This Is Why Best Alternative Song, when its parent album won Best Rock Album? Couldn't they, really, give anything to Lana? If this is a popularity contest, yes they all deserved... Miley, SZA and everyone else; but 2023 was undoubtedly Lana's popularity peak, and it only seems to rise. How, seriously how wasn't she awarded for that? What does she have to do to have this level of mainstream recognition? She doesn't need it, of course, as she's a critic darling, a festival darling, a GP darling... everyone loves her. She hasn't reached the tip of the "music industry" iceberg, but does she really need to? Prime TV, the Grammys, the Oscars... maybe her fate really is to be a trailblazer, watch all of her disciples come and go, grab the gold and the applause, but she will remain strong and influential, discussed and forever relevant. I love you Lana, and I love you Ocean Blvd; others are thankful for seeing their favorite artists reach #1 and undeservedly break Grammy records; I personally am thankful for experiencing the music, for being part of this global movement that is Lana Del Rey, driven by her pure talent and timeless songwriting. By the way, she looked breathtaking.

I’m devastated streaming A&W btw

What would be yall actual reaction if Lana wins

When Rob announces AOTY

I don’t like Flowers but Miley deserves

SORRY IT WAS A MISTAKE… ZODIAC!!

When Celine Dion announces Lana as AOTY winner

Oh Joni

A&W was the most acclaimed song of the year anyway

I have to wake up in 4 hours

Lana looks fucking incredible btw

Sza is obviously winning AOTY

☹️

There’s no hope left imho

I’m in an Uber watching this 😭

i think she had no nominations that year + she has a front seat with Taylor, no way she’s not attending

It’s so fucking stupid that they only have less than 10 categories during the main show… isn’t it an awards show? Bruh also artists 90% of the time don’t go to the pre-ceremony. We’re fucked up

Whatever happens tomorrow, I just wanna say that I’m so proud of Lana 😭

The Grammys start... the lights are off... and then you hear "...For the serial killer, the prostitute pickup"

Oh damn then... It's sad to think she's most likely not winning AOTY. She truly, really deserves that level of coverage and positivity.

I think they gave her tons of nominations only because she had the biggest song of the year. They always do that. Like, Thousand Miles nominated for Best Duo is a crime. That song is horrible and feels like they ran out of ideas for that category.

A bit off topic but… I love Miley but ESV is so bad. I gave it another chance last night and I had to stop by track 10. Imagine if it wins AOTY 😭

Some great country artworks

Beck didn't perform in 2015 but still won AOTY. Mark Ronson and Ed Sheeran didn't perform in 2016 and won ROTY and SOTY respectively. Again, Ed Sheeran didn't perform in 2018 and won SOTY. Same with Childish Gambino, H.E.R. and others that still won "big four" categories without performing. There's still hope.
