Today, the music world is focused on the list of nominees for The 64th Annual Grammy Awards, which was unveiled this morning. There’s a lot going on with this year’s list: Jon Batiste leads the pack with 11 total nominations, which is actually tied for the second-most in a single year ever. Tony Bennett became the oldest artist ever nominated for Album Of The Year. Barack Obama and Dave Chappelle are competing in the same category.
Across all categories, a lot of folks got nominated, and naturally, a lot of them have taken to social media to share their reactions to the news.
Batiste was pretty thrilled with his feat, writing, “WOW!! Thank you God!! I love EVERYBODY! I’m so grateful to my collaborators and to my ancestors [crying emojis] 11!”

So many awesome new artists (and not so new artists) got nominations at the #Grammys this year! In particular feeling over the moon stoked for @Jbrekkie who made a staggeringly good album, wrote a heart wrenching book and is a rad human and deserves all the praise she’s getting.

we wrote this song as a message of gratitude to everyone in our lives, and it’s only appropriate that this grammy nomination came during thanksgiving week. thank you to everyone at the @RecordingAcad for including us in this category for the 4th year in a row.
