Lily Allen took to Twitter last night (08/12/13) to express her anger at the Grammy Awards for not nominating Lorde in the Brand New Artist category - despite the fact she is still nominated for four awards.
Allen took to the social media site to air her grievance, pointing out errors in the explanation over why Lorde was snubbed in the category.
"Legendary producer Jimmy Jam, who is chairman emeritus of the Recording Academy, suggested that Lorde's omission was because she, in effect 'skipped a grade'by having such a successful debut song. 'She is still very new.' he told CNN. 'Sometimes I think the Grammy voters like to say "Well, let's see what else you have before we say you're the best new artist." 'AT WHICH POINT SHE WONT BE A NEW ARTIST!!! what crap (sic)"
She even went on to add "#SHAMMYS #lordemusic rocks (sic)".
Even though the 'Royals' artist may have missed out on a Best New Artist nomination, she is still nominated for several awards; Record of the Year, Song of the Year as well as Best Pop Vocal album.
