Grammys 2019: Here's why Ariana Grande, Rihanna, Beyonce and Taylor Swift chose not to attend music's biggest night
As the Grammys 2019 red carpet concluded and stars made their way to attend the show, the absence of some of the biggest artistes was noticeable. While Ariana Grande made it clear that she would stay away from the awards show with a series of tweets much earlier, others have not really commented on their absence.
Kendrick Lamar and Childish Gambino's absence has especially made a point home about the snubs that the Black artistes have received at the Grammys in recent years. The most outrageous one being Beyonce's album 'Lemonade' being passed over for Adele's 25 at the 2017 Grammys. Adele, who had won the Grammys that year for Best Album had also said on stage, "I thought it was her year. I couldn't possibly accept this award," and added that Lemonade was monumental.
