I'm kinda surprised she didn't take home a Grammy this time.

She got the shaft tonight. I'm just gonna say it, I love Maxwell, I want to marry him and have all of his babies. But no, that is one of the weakest singles of his entire career from the weakest album he's ever released. "Kiss It Better" was a classic from the first time I spun that record. It should have won. It TOWERS over every song in that category by such a wide margin all I can do is stand back in awe and admire it like it's a goddamn sequoia.
And "Work" should have won over TOP. But at least they had the common decency to take their pants off and be super cute when they went onstage.

She was robbed. ANTI deserved UCA if nothing else.

Is that you?

One of the biggest award show snubs since Mariah's Grammy snub in 1996.

One of the biggest award show snubs since Mariah's Grammy snub in 1996. Is it? On one hand, she and Kanye both just set a new record for most nominations in a night without a win (and I'd say Ri's 0-for-8 is a large injustice, as she had a ROTY nom in the mix and two of Kanye's noms were for featured appearances). OTOH, Rihanna wasn't heavily favored in any of her categories. I also think her snub across the board is being massively overshadowed by the dust-up over Bey not winning AOTY. I agree it's a travesty, but as an objective matter of perception, this just doesn't feel as big as '96 Mariah or even '02 India.Arie. The real snub is in how for some reason she wasn't one of the bigger stories of the night despite being one of the most nominated artists.

There's something humbling about her showing up last night while sipping on her diamond encrusted flask. She could've easily performed but she came ready to shade from a distance.

The real snub is in how for some reason she wasn't one of the bigger stories of the night despite being one of the most nominated artists. I mostly going by number of losses, but I felt like she deserved at least 3 of her noms (Urban Contemp and Recording Package for ANTI, and R&B Song for Kiss It Better). I read some articles that actually had her as favorite, especially in the R&B categories. Yeah, they're making this mostly about Bey, which could be good as it's less "negative" publicity about Rih, I guess. Some sites and blogs writing #GrammysSoWhite-type of articles mention Beyoncé and not Rihanna. At least she was named best dressed by some

I love RiRi and ANTI had some bops. But comparing ANTI to Daydream is... generous.

I think she should have won "Work" for Pop Collabs (it may have been smarter for them to submit this to Best Rap/Sung instead) and ROTY and I would have given her Urban Album. I have no clue what Recording Repackage Album is.
But R&B Song was definitely Maxwell and I'm glad he was not overshadowed with his one nomination.

Don't be coming for Lake By the Ocean, it is the CLASSIC in that category. "Kiss It Better" is cute and good, but just that. The hit won, ok. He doesn't want your baby now. You supposed to support your man. He only had one nomination, shoot. Hell, Rihanna and me were shocked that KIB got nominated, we still shocked. Shoot. The nomination was the reward. However, she deserved so much more than how she got played on Sunday. Shoot.

Me and Maxwell are gonna be okay, we have our issues, but once he lotions up those ashy vocals and releases a good album we have plans for an island wedding.

The snub is an insult to all the babies that were conceived while Kiss It Better was playing in the background on loop.

Happy birthday legend! Hard to believe that she hasn't even reached 30 and she's already one of the biggest artists in history.

29??? For some reason I thought she was already over 30. It really is impressive that she's been able to have so many hits in her 20s.

LOTB feels so much like a quiet hit. I didn't even expect it to catch on. I always forget how good the song is until I hear it lol

It's still kind of a miracle that this song became a top 10 hit thanks to airplay alone.

Assumed to be featured on Future's new album, Hndrxx, out this Friday based on his tagging her in an IG post of the album cover.
