That felt like the message that the 2019 Grammy Awards was sending out during its live telecast on TV last Monday morning, Feb. 11. Rap artists like Kendrick Lamar, Childish Gambino and others also opted out of appearing because hip-hop recordings never seem to win in the major categories anyway. Childish Gambino did not and lost the chance to savor the joy of accepting wins for his This Is America in the major categories of Record of the Year and Song of the Year. As for Grande, she also lost the chance of holding her first Grammy ever, Best Pop Vocal Album for Sweetener. • Record of the Year: This Is America by Childish Gambino• Album of the Year: Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves• Song of the Year: This Is America by Childish Gambino.
