Grammy 2018: Here is the complete list of nominations
The nominations for the biggest music award of the year, Grammy have been announced for the year 2018. The list of nominations includes the most trending song of the year 'Despacito'. Despacito got nominated in the list 'Record of the year', 'song of the year' and ' Best Pop Duo/Group Performance'. The most controversial song of the year 'Look what you made me do' of Taylor Swift didn't get a space in the Grammy list.
However, there is a good news for the Swifties fans across the globe as the 10 times Grammy winner has been nominated for the best song written for visual media for her Fifty Shades collaboration with former One Direction fame ZAYN Malik, "I Don't Wanna Live Forever." The 27-year-old singer Taylor has also been nominated for the best country song as writer "Better Man."
