The Grammys Nominations 2019
This year the Grammy Awards ceremony is slated for
February 10.
Nominations for the 61st Grammy Awards were
announced Friday and one of the nominees was brought to tears live on
television.
Singer Janelle Monáe -- along with Alessia Cara and
Shawn Mendes -- announced some the nominees on "CBS This Morning."
Monáe became emotional when her "Dirty Computer" was announced for
album of the year.
She said she was moved because the project is
"about community," especially the LGBT community of which she is a
part.
"I hope they feel seen," Monáe said.
"I hope they feel loved and I hope they feel celebrated."
Rap artists Kendrick Lamar and Drake received the
most nominations with eight and seven, respectively. Singer/songwriter Brandi
Carlile received six nominations.
Fans of H.E.R., the singer/musician who wears
sunglasses and guards her privacy to keep the focus on her music, had plenty to
celebrate with her multiple nominations.
