Folklore won Album Of The Year, which is no surprise, just glad Future Nostalgia got the Pop Vocal nod at least <3
  • Author

These are her ROTY interview (the one which was shown before her performance) and her speech after she won Best Pop Vocal Album with Future Nostalgia.

 

 

I'm relieved she got something, but for an era this incredible and successful it felt very under awarded - I was really hoping for one of the big 3 she was up for

The Grammy 👏 Award winning album 👏 Future Nostalgia 👏

So proud of our pop princess ! She truly radiated on that stage looking more stunning than ever before! :wub: 💅

 

The Levitating segment was a OK but she really snapped for Don't Start Now wow! That choreo was ON POINT and I'm so glad we got to see it close up in full without the cameras constantly panning out all the time!

congrats to Dua for adding another Grammy to her records :clap:

 

and currently in US she's benefitted the most on iTunes with DSN #2, Levitating #5 & 31, New Rules #48 while her newest single We're Good at #55 :gaga:

 

I am wondering if we will see a surge on her album sales next week as well...it would be nice if she could reach a new peak for the album in Top 3!!!

 

And I have a feeling for tomorrow update on Spotify, Levitating might go back in Top 10 as well :cheer:

oh and her Grammy performance is trending currently #3 on YT, it has the highest views than any other performance of the night :cheer:

 

EDIT:

 

Upon looking back, it seems like the majority haven't uploaded their performances yet but great viewing numbers for Dua regardless!!!

The grammy performance is most viewed video in last 24 hours on YouTube :cheeseblock:

 

Already at 12+ million views!!!

The views and comments are insane! Definitely the most exposure she's had since New Rules!

 

Even Real Groove is charting on US iTunes :cheeseblock:

Ridiculous that they've blocked the performance on YouTube outside the US! Here it is for those of us who watch it on daily basis like me! :wub:

 

 

(Not sure for how long it will be up for, so watch while you still can!)

No Levitating submissions?!
No. The version featuring DaBaby wasn't submitted, although it was eligible, unlike the album version, which wasn't because it was part of Future Nostalgia, an already GRAMMY winning album. Another possibility was to release a live version of the song (like "New Rules" on the complete edition of her self-titled album) and submit that, but her team didn't do that either.

 

Regarding the omission of the track, the following was said on Variety, which also mentions that "Demeanor" was submitted to Record of the Year.

 

Q: Where's Dua Lipa's "Levitating," the biggest pop song of the year?

 

A: Nowhere. It should have been eligible, even though it was off an album that was up for multiple awards last year — because the single had its major impact this year, and because it was a new remix, with DaBaby as an added featured artist. But Lipa presumably could only have submitted the DaBaby, and that would have been a lot to ask of voters, to pretend that the persona-non-grata rapper really wasn't on it. Most likely Lipa was saving voters having to agonize over choosing between their love for her and their dread of giving the thumbs-up to a guy still considered toxic by much of the industry for his homophobic comments.

 

Lipa does have one song on the ballot for record of the year — but it's "Demeanor," the Pop Smoke song on which she is a featured artist.
