Grammy Nominations Announced, Beyonce Leads The Pack
Posted on Tue Dec 6th, 2016 8:00am PDT By X17 Staff
Queen Bey cleaned up yet again!
The Grammy award nominees were announced this morning on CBS, and if Kanye wasn't already having a bad enough month, he's bound to be pissed about falling short of Beyonce's whopping nine nominations! Yeezy, Drake, and Rihanna came close to the songstress with eight noms each.
'Ye isn't going to be too pleased, either, that "Lemonade" is up for Album of the Year, but "Life of Pablo" got totally snubbed. The Louis Vuitton Don's "Famous" is up for Best Rap Video, so he can at least hope to win that one.
The Biebs, Adele, and some other big names round of the rest of the categories, and we can't wait to see who takes home the honors on the big night.
The 59th Annual Grammy Awards will air live Sunday, Feb. 12, 2017, on CBS. Click thru for a full list of the nominees.
