Every year the Grammy nominations reveal causes consternation from artists and fans upset seeing their preferred selections snubbed and this year is no different. But one thing always brightens the day’s announcements with the pure euphoria: new stars publicly celebrating their nominations. This year’s cohort of first-time nominees includes Khalid, Cardi B, 6lack, GoldLink, Rapsody, Daniel Caesar, and Tyler, the Creator, who all had exciting reactions to the news, running the gamut from joy to triumph to shock to “put some respeck on my name” attitude.
We’ve compiled highlights of some of our favorite responses below, including one artist who’s been vocally waiting for this day for many years. Revel in their success with us:
