The Grammy Awards nominations for 2018 dropped on Tuesday (Nov. 28), and a number of country music’s top artists received nods for their work. Country was shut out of the major all-genre categories, but you’ll find a legend outside of the typical list of country nominations.
Scroll down to get all the details of country’s presence at the 2018 Grammy Awards show.
Who
It should come as no surprise that acts like Kenny Chesney, Lady Antebellum, Chris Stapleton and Sam Hunt all scored Grammy nominations. Both Stapleton and Little Big Town tie with three nominations in 2018, appearing together in the major categories of Best Country Album and Best Country Song. Miranda Lambert‘s “Tin Man” also earned two nominations in Best Country Solo Performance and Best Country Song, with both categories also featuring Hunt’s massive hit, “Body Like a Back Road.”
Country queen Reba McEntire has also scored a nom, but surprisingly not in country. She is one of the five nominees in the Best Roots Gospel Album for Sing It Now: Songs of Faith & Hope.
