Among some of the other nominees in various categories are Taylor Swift ( who got no major nods ), Pink, Meshell Ndegeocello, Chris Stapleton, Kurt Elling, Carlos Vives, Bettye LaVette, Lee Ann Womack, Chris Rock, Linda Perry, Pharrell Williams and Donald Glover/Childish Gambino.
In the best new artist category, the nominees are H.E.R., Chloe x Halle, Luke Combs, Greta Van Fleet, Dua Lipa, Margo Price, Bebe Rexha and Jorja Smith.
The Grammys will be broadcast live from Los Angeles on Sunday, Feb. 10, on CBS. |
