Fans are rallying behind former “Voice” coach and singer Ariana Grande after she was snubbed by the 2025 Grammys for Album of the Year.

According to TMZ, the 2025 Grammy nominations “had some jaw-dropping snubs — including of Ariana Grande.” Her album “Eternal Sunshine” failed to earn a nomination for Album of the Year, TMZ reported, although she did receive three other nominations.
TMZ reported that Grande may have been hurt by lack of a “full throttle” promotional campaign because she was busy with the movie “Wicked.”

“The grammys nominated ai vocals of the Beatles over ariana grande. let that sink in. AI VOCALS,” another person wrote on X.
According to TechCrunch, The Beatles were nominated for two Grammy awards after their song was “refined with the use of AI and released last year.” TechCrunch reported that Paul McCartney took one of Lennon’s demos from 1978 and used AI to clean up the recording’s poor sound quality.”
“Ariana grande not getting nominated in the main categories is a JOKE. eternal sunshine and we can’t be friends were snubbed #GRAMMYs,” wrote another person.
Wrote another fan on X, “I get it this was a joke now give us the REAL nominations where ariana grande doesn’t get snubbed #GRAMMYs.”
