i heard a few stars are boycotting the display...gossip site hits every day double currently claimed taylor swift, ed sheeran, lorde and justin timberlake could sensationally boycott the grammys because they're furious at being snubbed.

within the past, artists like frank ocean, justin bieber and kanye west have averted the ceremony over a perceived racial bias; so a similar movement through white pop artists (some of whom have been accused of appropriating black culture) would be misguided at fine.

a more likely explanation is that the story is rubbish.

what do you suggest?

whilst it is authentic that several stars are lacking from the seating plan, maximum of them have legitimate reasons for missing the ceremony.

justin timberlake is busy rehearsing his remarkable bowl half-time display, as an instance. and taylor speedy's ultra-modern record, recognition, isn't eligible for the awards till subsequent year.

as for chart-bothering pop megasaur ed sheeran? he's most effective nominated in the pop categories, which are surpassed out in an in advance, non-televised rite. so he might as properly stay at domestic and get a takeaway.

then again, drake is really boycotting the show. the canadian celebrity refused to publish his track for attention after the grammys relegated him to the rap classes last year.

the canadian superstar stated he felt "alienated" by way of organisers "putting me in that category, cos it's the best vicinity you can parent out in which to position me".

"perhaps due to the fact i've rapped inside the past or due to the fact i'm black, i cannot figure out why."
