YES HONEY!

The Grammy nominations are here folks, and one is standing miles above the rest.

Michelle Obama has been nominated for best spoken word album for the audio version of her memoir, Becoming.

Aziz Ansari also received a nomination for best comedy album for Right Now, in which he addressed sexual misconduct allegations directed at him in 2018.

Also among the nominations, was our queen, Lizzo, who received eight nominations, for her album Cuz I Love You as well as her iconic single “Truth Hurts.”

Billie Eilish (we’re obsessed) also received six nominations thanks to her debut album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, and her single “Bad Guy.”

This means meaning that the best new artist category—which also includes Black Pumas, Maggie Rogers, Rosalía, Tank and the Bangas, and Yola.

This isn’t a huge surprise for Michelle Obama, when you consider the year she’s had.

Having already been crowned the ‘World’s Most Admired Women’ in July, we can’t say we’re surprised that she has herself a Grammy nomination.

Now, all we need is for her to announce she’s running for president.
