The 2018 Grammy Nominations Are Here & Justin Bieber Is On The List
Good morning, world! On Nov. 28 the 2018 Grammy nominations dropped, and if you can even believe it, the Biebs made the cut. Justin Bieber is nominated for Song Of The Year for his work on the hit "Despacito," and the competition is fierce. He's also nominated for Record Of The Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for the same track.
Bieber is in great company, competing against heavy music hitters like JAY-Z, Bruno Mars, and Kendrick Lamar, who all soared in their own right this year. (I mean... do you guys even remember when JAY dropped 4:44?)
Sure, "Despacito" is the best thing that's ever happened to most of us, but was it enough to win Bieber the coveted gold record player? Also, when was the last time you guys can remember seeing Justin Bieber on a red carpet?
Ever since canceling his Purpose tour, Bieber has been on a healing journey. Call it a hunch, but something tells me winning a Grammy would be another huge step in the right direction for the "I'm The One" singer.
Take a look at some of the other awesome categories and nominees, and be sure to tune into the 60th Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, Jan 28. on CBS.
We're rooting for you, JB!
