AceShowbiz – Beyonce Knowles is going for gold at the 63rd annual Grammy Awards in 2021 after leading all artists with nine nominations, including two for Record of the Year.
“Black Parade” and “Savage Remix” with Megan Thee Stallion has landed Beyonce a double mention in the top category, while the former will also compete for Song of the Year, as well as Best R&B Performance and Song.
“Black Is King“, the visual accompaniment to “The Lion King: The Gift” – the superstar’s soundtrack for her 2019 Disney remake, is shortlisted for Best Music Film, and “Brown Skin Girl” is up for Best Music Video.
Additionally, the “Savage Remix” is nominated for Best Rap Performance and Song.
