The 2021 Grammys Have Been Postponed

If you thought the new year was going to bring about the end of cancellations, guess again.

With one of the first casualties of 2021, the Grammy Awards have officially been postponed. The show was originally set for January 31st, however due to the ongoing pandemic will be rescheduled, with a target date of somewhere in March. A specific date has yet to be revealed.

The event was already expected to have limited participants, no audience, but with Los Angeles’ skyrocketing COVID rates, they decided to push the event back.

Trevor Noah is set to host.

In the country music world, Miranda led the way with three nominations for Best Country Solo Performance, Best Country Song and Best Country Album.

Some of our other favorites also picked up some well-deserved nominations, including Eric Church’s “Stick That in Your Country Song” for Song of the Year, Brothers Osborne for Best Country Duo/Group Performance and Ashley McBryde’s “Never Will” for Album of the Year.

Newcomer Ingrid Andress racked up three nominations, one for Song of the Year for “More Hearts Than Mine,” one for Best Country Album for Lady Like, and another in the all-genre Best New Artist category. Brandy Clark snagged two, Mickey Guyton one, and Sturgill Simpson also secured a nomination in the Rock Album category.

Maren Morris, who won two trophies at this year’s CMA Awards, was also nominated for Best Country Song for “The Bones” (which is really pushing the limits of what’s considered a “country song”).
