Where's the Grammy love for folks like Megan Thee Stallion and Orville Peck???!???

The 2025 Grammy nominations are officially out!

Many of our favorite artists (and specifically, many of our favorite queer artists and allies) scored nominations, including Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Charli xcx, Chappell Roan, and Troye Sivan — but that doesn't mean that some of our faves didn't alsoget left out in the cold.

Here are some of the biggest queer snubs from the 67th annual Grammy Awards.

Megan Thee Stallion

Megan Thee Stallion was somehow shut out of this year's Grammys despite putting out a brilling rap album (Megan), having her first solo number one hit ("Hiss"), and the terrific collab "Mamushi" with Yuki Chiba.

"Claw Machine" by Sloppy Jane ft. Phoebe Bridgers

This haunting and beautiful track from Sloppy Jane ft. Phoebe Bridgers is on the flawless soundtrack for I Saw the TV Glow, and we are simply stunned it didn't get nominated for Best Song for Visual Media.

Orville Peck

We would have loved to see some love for Orville Peck and his duet album Stampede. Songs like "Death Valley High," "Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other," and "The Hurtin' Kind" deserved some recognition.

Doja Cat

We are truly stunned that Doja Cat got no love this year for her songs "Agora Hills" and "Demons," which were some of the biggest, best rap and pop songs of the year.

"Puntería" by Shakira & Cardi B

This sexy and fun duet between Shakira and Cardi B was ignored by the Grammy voters despite the album it was from, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, being nominated for Best Latin Pop Album.

Ariana Grande

While Grande DID pick up noms in Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, Best Pop Vocal Album, and Best Dance Pop Recording, she was left out completely of the big categories like Album, Song, and Record of the Year, despite Eternal Sunshine being one of her most highly-anticipated and critically-acclaimed releases in her career so far.
