THE GRAMMY NOMINATIONS were announced earlier today.

Jay Z is the most nominated male artist, with eight nominations for his album 4:44. SZA is the most nominated female with five nods, following the release of her debut album Ctrl.

Kendrick Lamar follows Jigga with seven nods, while Bruno Mars is the third most-nominated artist with six.

However, given how big a year it was for music, there were some obvious omissions for some …

Namely Ed Sheeran, who missed out nominations within the Record Of The Year, Album Of The Year for ‘Divide’ or Song Of The Year.

Awkward.

People are surprised, naturally, seeing as he’s been everywhere this year.

Roisin reckons the move might have been deliberate.

She could be on to something, there.

Not to worry though! He is nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Best Pop Solo Performance for ‘Shape Of You’.

Fellow nominee Kelly Clarkson took to Twitter to congratulate him.

I mean, really, who needs a Grammy award when you have a purposefully misspelled tattoo from Saoirse Ronan? I know what I’d choose, anyway.
