Thank you to the Recording Academy for recognizing our song “Shallow” from A Star Is Born in four categories including Record and Song of the Year! And thank you deeply for nominating my piano version of “Joanne,” a song I sang while I was recovering from many issues, a moment that revived me, a song about family and loss,” she wrote. “I love you and I love my fans so so very much. Thank you for this honor. God Bless.” Another major contender? Cardi B could be a big winner with five nominations in many of the major categories.

This is yours too.” After 25 years as a group, the Backstreet Boys were thrilled with their nomination for best pop group/duo group performance for “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart.” See more nominee reactions below! https://twitter.com/Zedd/status/1071120371120828416 The 61st annual Grammy Awards air Feb. 10 on CBS.
