Morgan Wallen has yet to receive a single Grammy nomination over his career, while Doja Cat was left out of key categories including Record of the Year.

Grammy Awards SNUBS! Controversial country star Morgan Wallen and Doja Cat BOTH ignored - while the Barbie soundtrack misses Album of The Year By Brian Marks For Dailymail.com Published: 19:15, 10 November 2023 | Updated: 19:25, 10 November 2023 e-mail 11 shares View comments The 2024 Grammy nominations were announced on Friday morning , and artists including SZA , Taylor Swift , Miley Cyrus , Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo were among those with the most nods. But several high-profile singers and musicians were left out of the Grammy nominations altogether or snubbed from major categories they were expected to be nominated in. Among the snubbed artists was the controversial country superstar Morgan Wallen, whose One Thing At A Time album topped the Billboard 200 albums chart and the Top Country Albums chart. Despite that, he didn't score a single nomination, bringing his total career Grammy nominations to zero. Doja Cat , on the other hand, was lucky enough to earn three nominations this year, but she was notable absent from the Record of the Year category for her song Paint The Town Red, and her album Scarlet received no nominations in any category. Passed over: Morgan Wallen and Doja Cat were among the major artists snubbed when the 2024 Grammy Awards nominations were announced Wallen's third studio album One Thing At A Time was a massive hit upon its release in March. The 36-track LP — which runs just over 111 minutes — managed to place all of its songs on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart when it debuted, breaking Drake's record for most singles on the chart at once and the record for most debuts on the Hot 100, with 27. However, the album received mixed reviews from critics, and the Recording Academy (which runs the Grammys) may have been unwilling to nominate Wallen again due to his past racist behavior. In February 2021, TMZ published a video of a seemingly drunken Wallen returning to his home near Nashville, while his friends made plenty of commotion and honked car horns. After an angry neighbor began filming his antics, the musician shouted that someone should 'take care of this p***y-a** motherf*****,' before calling them a 'p***y-a** n*****' as he went into the house. Wallen apologized in a statement after the incident was revealed, but his music was temporarily taken off multiple high-profile radio stations, and several streaming services removed his music from public playlists. The country hitmaker's record label Big Loud suspended him from his recording contract indefinitely, and several country award shows removed content he had previously filmed for them. His then-new album Dangerous: The Double Album was also made ineligible at the upcoming ceremony by the Grammy Awards. Left out: Wallen's album One Thing At A Time was a massive record-breaking hit, but it earned no nominations, and Wallen has a grand total of zero Grammy nods across his career; seen November 8 in Nashville Not original enough: Doja Cat's Paint The Town Red was snubbed for Record of the Year, possibly because of its sampling of Dionne Warwick's Walk On By; seen in September in Newark, New Jersey But something about Wallen's N-word controversy spurred his fans to stream and purchase his album even more, and Dangerous' sales rocketed up in the immediate aftermath. He helped make amends by donating $300,000 to the Black Music Action Coalition, while singling out 20 Black artists. Six months after the video first was published, Wallen's music began appearing on the radio again, and since then he has been performing in front of large crowds as if the scandal never happened. Doja Cat, who had her own racism controversy when she was forced to deny that she had ever engaged in racist conversations after being pictured in a chat room featuring an alleged alt-right/incel group, missed out on some key nominations. Her single Paint The Town Red topped the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, but it failed to secure a Record of the Year nomination, which goes out to the artists, producers and engineers who work on a song, whereas the Song of the Year category is awarded to songwriters. Billboard speculated that Grammy voters may have left the song off the list of nominations because of how prominently it uses a sample of Dionne Warwick's 1964 song Walk On By. Doja's album Scarlet, which featured Paint The Town Red, was also missing from the Album of the Year category, despite receiving relatively strong reviews and peaking at number four on the Billboard 200 albums chart. Morgan Wallen wasn't the only snubbed country artist, as Luke Combs also was absent from the Record of the Year category. MIA: Country star Luke Comb's massive hit cover of Tracy Chapman's Fast Car was also left out of the Record of the Year category; seen November 8 in Nashville His cover of Tracy Chapman's Fast Car topped several Billboard charts and reached the number two spot on the Hot 100, proving massive crossover appeal for the singer.
