With nine nominations, Beyoncé is the most nominated at the awards, followed by rapper Kendrick Lamar, with eight. Adele and Brandi Carlile each received seven nominations.
The award ceremony will take place after a year marked by successful albums, such as the vibrant “Renaissance”, by Beyoncé, the introspective “30” by Adele and the lively “Un Verano Sin Ti” by Puerto Rican Bad Bunny.
The attention of the night is focused on Adele and Beyoncé, whose works are in the same categories as six years ago, when the British singer won against the revolutionary “Lemonade”, by Queen B. The competition is further fueled by criticism that the Recording Academy, responsible for the awards, does not give due recognition to black artists.
