Not everyone who’s been invited plans to show up at the Grammys 2018. It’s a prestigious event, but some are apparently choosing not to come. Some for good reason, others not so much. Drake, for one, famously announced he will be sitting out of the awards show this year. He’s said he feels ‘alienated’ by the categories he was put in last year, as he only featured in rap categories.
He said he felt that the organisers were ‘putting me in that category, cos it’s the only place you can figure out where to put me. ‘Maybe because I’ve rapped in the past or because I’m black, I can’t figure out why.’ And thus this year, he plans to sit out.
Lorde is said to be refusing to perform this year. The singer reportedly requested a solo performance, but was only offered to be part of the Tom Petty tribute. As her solo venture has been turned down it’s now being reported she won’t perform at all and will not appear on the red carpet. But annoyingly for Lorde, there will be many male performances on the night, including Bruno Mars, Childish Gambino and Kendrick Lamar.
Taylor Swift is also said to be avoiding this year’s ceremony. Although her’s is less of a statement and allegedly more to do with the fact her album wasn’t actually eligible for an award this year as it was released after the cut off date.
However, this probably unlikely. Taylor loves a good old Grammys knees up so chances are she’ll still be there to enjoy the night anyway, unless she has a better offer for a night in with her bloke. Justin Timberlake is another said to be missing out. He’s got good reason though, he’s prepping for his epic performance at the Super Bowl next week. Or this could all be a ruse and they’ll all be there with their bells and
