As a reminder, Lana has been nominated for 11 Grammy awards… But she hasn’t actually won a single Grammy yet.
She’s been snubbed countless times, and it has been a massive disappointment year after year.
She’s been nominated for “A&W,“ “Norman F***king Rockwell,“ “Young and Beautiful,“ and more.
Some fans are noting that the Country album category is much less competitive, which will provide her with a better chance of taking home a Grammy.
