Here Are the 2018 Grammy Awards Nominees

Some of country music’s biggest stars are among the nominees in the 2018 Grammy Awards.

The 2018 Grammy Awards nominees were announced on Tuesday morning (Nov. 28) during the daily broadcast of CBS This Morning, then listed in their entirety at Grammy.com.

Country music was shut out of all four of the biggest all-genre categories of Album, Song, Record and Best New Artist of the Year, and there were also some genuine surprises in the country nominations. Reba McEntire turned up in an interesting non-country category in the 2018 Grammy Awards nominations.

The 2018 Grammy Awards take place on Jan. 28 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
