Morgan Wallen, currently the number 1 artist on the lists of the United States, has resigned to appear to the Grammys, even the most relevant awards in America. This has revealed the portal of exclusive Daily Double Hits, and then Billboard has confirmed it.
As all pop music fans know, it is the artists and seals who have to present their candidacies, deciding the categories (rock, pop, country …) and the singles that present each one. In the case of Morgan Wallen, it has been known that he will not present ‘i’m the problem’, nor any of his singles, to any category. And it is no joke: we are talking about an album that has been number 1 of the Billboard 200 for several weeks and that can be the best -selling album of all 2025, in the absence of what Taylor Swift contains.
What does Morgan Wallen intend with this play? No one has any doubt: tell the Grammys that in no way will it have their presence for an action or deliver an award. Avenge for not having received any recognition in the past. Subtract credibility and all the thrust you can.
Although it is not well known in Europe, even less in Spain, Morgan Wallen is the singer (from country or not) more famous in the decade in the United States. ‘Dangerous: The Double Album’ (2021) sold more than 6 million copies in the United States, and ‘One Thing at A Time’ (2023) surpassed them, with 7 million units. However, the Grammys passed both, even in the country music categories. The only nominations of the academy to work are for a collaboration with Post Malone. And that is when it turns out that each party is right.
On the one hand, Morgan Wallen has to learn that a awards ceremony is supposed to be dedicated to quality. Not your popularity. For that, there are the Billboard Awards, of which it has a few. That Grammys go to quality and not to sales or streams has been a widely discussed issue, because after all they are a television program that is due to a mass audience. But Morgan Wallen’s case is one of the extremes: ‘One Thing at A Time’ had nefarious criticism. What had to be rewarded exactly?
On the other hand, it is not that his work with Post Malone is especially better. Nor that of the nominees in the country categories, a minor category, commented only locally, at least until Beyoncé arrived. And that’s when the factor “I get angry and I don’t breathe.” Because Morgan Wallen can look in the mirror and say: “Ok, I know I’m not Willie Nelson, but what does Post Malone have that I don’t have?”
His reaction reminds other great victims of the Grammys. Both Drake and The Weeknd decided at different times of their life not to appear to the awards, after having felt none with previous works that obtained a huge impact. Abel Tesfaye came to call them “corrupt.”
It is curious that the three great illustrious cases of angry with the Grammys are men. While Björk and Katy Perry still do not award or small, but they do not lose hope and both continue to present themselves, they manage to sound all this as a battle “let’s see who mes farther.” A little humility is missing from those who already have the recognition of people. Are Drake, Tesfaye, Wallen, that the Grammys will survive and move on, without them? What one day will they go out of style, like all artists, and that Grammys will remain there?
