A deserved Grammy nomination was not earned by many country performers this year, but instead by performers from outside of the country music genre. The country categories had plenty of familiar names too, but the majority of the nominations were filled by performers from outside of the country music genre. This goes far beyond feeling like your favorite artists lost out on an opportunity. When massive superstars from other disciplines such as Beyoncé, Post Malone, and Jelly Roll dominate the country nominations, it creates a very pernicious problem.
