Rita Ora shares heartfelt message to Grammy Award nominees after brutal snubs

Singing sensation Rita Ora shared an inspiring message with the Grammy Awards losers ahead of the 67th annual ceremony

Rita Ora issued a heartfelt message to artists ahead of the 2025 Grammy Awards on Sunday night.

The Let You Love Me singer, 34, took to her Instagram stories ahead of the ceremony to share some words of wisdom with those who were nominated for this year's awards. The British-Albanian singer reassured those who didn't win the awards not to lose their 'power'.

Rita told her famous pals: "Good luck to all my friends at the Grammys this year you know who you are and make sure you go and F it up. Make me proud! A little power tattoo to remind you all that we all hold power within us. Awards feel nice yes but you are no lesser than if you don't win. It doesn't justify the amazing music you all provided us in 2024! Mwah."

This year's Grammy Award for Album of the Year was won by Beyonce. It marks her first ever album win at the awards and fans were quick to react on social media.

Despite leading the nominations with six nods-including Album of the Year for "The Tortured Poets Department" and Record of the Year for "Fortnight" featuring Post Malone, Taylor Swift left the ceremony empty-handed. The Album of the Year honor went to Beyoncé for "Cowboy Carter," marking her first win in this category after four previous losses.

In a surprising twist, Taylor took to the stage to present the Best Country Album award to Beyoncé. Reflecting on her own roots in country music, she remarked: "Hi, they say you never forget where you came from and I will never forget standing here, right on this spot, almost exactly 15 years ago accepting the Grammy Award for best country album." The two superstars then shared a heartfelt embrace.

Prior to the 67th Grammy Awards, a leak had teased the winner of the category. Gold Derby, an authority in awards show coverage and predictions, had suggested the Album of the Year winner.

They claimed the award was set to go to Billie Eilish's Hit Me Hard and Soft or Beyonce's Cowboy Carter. Both albums have received four votes each from Gold Derby's experts and editors.

The prediction meant stunned fans of Taylor Swift, who were expecting her to lift the gong for her latest latest album, The Tortured Poets Department. Her record-breaking concert film The Eras Tour was already overlooked in the Best Music Film category, despite being the highest-grossing concert film of all time.

For some of the other Grammy categories, all of Gold Derby's experts and editors had unanimously agreed that Sabrina Carpenter's Espresso was destined to lift the Record of the Year award.

This year's event took place once again at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Trevor Noah was again on hand to take on the hosting duties. It marked his fifth successive hosting sting on the annual bash. The comedian is best known for hosting Comedy Central’s The Daily Show between 2015 to 2022.

This year's telecast on CBS was also raising funds to support relief efforts after wildfires devastated the Grammys' hometown.
