It was always going to be tough competition for the 2025 Grammys — what with the pop girlie renaissance. We had divas like Chappell Roan, Charli XCX, and Sabrina Carpenter sharing the charts for what was a particularly iconic Brat Summer (well, winter for us Aussies).

Who was snubbed for the 2025 Grammys?
For every music fan celebrating their favourite artist's nomination, there was at least two more calling for justice for a snubbed musician. Here are the biggest Grammy snubs for 2025, according to fans.
Ariana Grande.
While singer Ariana Grande received nominations in smaller categories — like Best Dance Pop Recording for her song 'Yes, And', and Best Pop/Duo Performance for 'The Boy is Mine' with Brandy and Monica — the Wicked actor was missing from the major categories. It came as a shock to fans after the success of the 31-year-old's seventh studio album, Eternal Sunshine, which debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart.
Tyla.
While Tyla won Best African Music Performance last year for her hit single 'Water', fans couldn't help but notice she didn't receive any Grammy nominations this time around. Her self-titled album was certified gold in Brazil, Canada and the United States, and won Best Pop Album at the 30th Annual South African Music Awards, with the musician also earning Newcomer of the Year and Female Artist of the year.
Jack Antonoff.
Fans were shocked to see Jack Antonoff wasn't nominated for Producer of the Year. The producer, who worked with Taylor Swift on The Tortured Poets Department and Sabrina Carpenter on Short n' Sweet, has won the accolade for the past three years in a row and has been consistently nominated in the category since 2019.
Jungkook.
BTS breakout star Jungkook broke records with his debut solo album Golden, also earning acclaim from critics. The album entered music charts in 25 countries and topped the South Korean, Belgian, French, Lithuanian and Japanese album charts. Jungkook has been previously nominated with the group BTS, but has never won.
Megan Thee Stallion.
Despite having won three Grammy Awards in the past, Megan Thee Stallion was absent from this year's noms list. While only debuting at three on the US Billboard 200 chart, some fans argued that the album influenced culture, with songs like 'Mamushi' going viral on TikTok.
Dua Lipa.
Also missing from the list of the pop girlies was Dua Lipa. While her first two albums scored several Grammy nominations, her recent release, Radical Optimism, missed out. The album received mixed reviews, but fans pointed out that it debuted atop the UK Albums Chart and scored the biggest opening week for a British female in three years.
