2025 Grammy nominations: All the snubs and surprises
LA TimesThis year’s Grammy field is dominated by queens of pop — Taylor, Beyoncé and Billie, and now Chappell and Sabrina too. Snub: Jack Antonoff’s producer streak lapses After winning yet another Grammy for producer, non-classical in February on the strength of Taylor Swift’s “Midnights,” Antonoff seemed a shoo-in for a nomination given that same artist’s massive follow-up, as well as Sabrina Carpenter’s “Short ‘n Sweet.” Antonoff had won that Grammy three years running, but he won’t be adding to his streak this year — this is the first time he hasn’t been at least nominated for the award since 2019. Paul McCartney, left, George Harrison, Ringo Starr and John Lennon in “The Beatles: Get Back.” Surprise: The Beatles are back AI has a lot to answer for — mangled fingers, election misinformation, siphoning the world’s water. “Hackney Diamonds” did land one nomination, for rock album, but it’s surprising the group didn’t turn up in rock performance or song or even something bigger. Snub: Tommy Richman, don’t @ me Tommy Richman’s TikTok smash “Million Dollar Baby” was one of the year’s inescapable singles — a brash, funky and feather-light falsetto that rattled out of car windows and phone speakers for months.
