<p>Although there is still a global pandemic going on, that does not mean that music&#8217;s biggest night will come to a stop. On Tuesday, the nominations for the 2021 Grammy Awards were announced. Like many events this year, the reading of the nominations happened virtually. However, stars like Megan Thee Stallion, Sharon Osbourne, Gayle King, Dua Lipa, Yemi Alade, and a few others were on board for the live stream as they announced the latest nominees.</p>
<p>With a total of 83 categories spanning across various genres of music, major names like Beyoncé, Jhené Aiko, Da Baby, Roddy Ricch, Drake, Lil Baby, Justin Bieber, Chloe X Halle, and many others are being recognized for their amazing artistry over the past year.</p>
