Ariana Grande fans erupt over 2025 Grammy snub: "she deserves better!"

Ariana Grande's devoted fanbase is fuming after the 2025 Grammy nominations failed to recognize her critically acclaimed album Eternal Sunshine in the top categories. Released in March 2024 after a three-year hiatus, the album featured chart-topping hits like "Yes, And?" and "We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)." Despite its record-breaking success and emotional depth, the Recording Academy excluded the album from prestigious categories such as Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year.

Grande, 31, did secure three nominations: Best Pop Vocal Album for Eternal Sunshine, Best Dance Pop Recording for "Yes, And?", and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for her collaboration with Brandy and Monica on "This Boy Is Mine." However, fans argue that these nods don't reflect the album's cultural and commercial impact.

Fans take to social media in outrage

Disappointed fans wasted no time expressing their anger on social media, with many accusing the Recording Academy of "blackballing" Grande.

• Ariana Grande, one of the few artists to write, produce, and deliver an emotional concept album, gets snubbed again. The Grammys are a joke!" one fan wrote on X.
• How does Eternal Sunshine, the only album this year with multiple #1 singles, miss out on Album of the Year? The Grammys remain rigged," another shared.
• Justice for Ariana! She was robbed. 'We Can't Be Friends' deserved Best Pop Solo Performance and Video of the Year," another tweet declared.

A history of grammy tensions

This isn't the first time Grande has had issues with the Grammys. In 2019, she skipped the ceremony after a dispute with producers over her performance setlist. Despite the snub, 7 Rings went on to dominate the charts, proving her enduring popularity.

While Grande has remained silent on this year's nominations, fans continue to rally behind her, demanding recognition for her artistry.

As the Wicked star balances her music and acting careers, many wonder if the Recording Academy's oversight will push her further away from the music industry. For now, fans are making their voices heard, ensuring the world knows Eternal Sunshine is anything but forgotten.
