Grimes alleges that the "irrelevant" Grammys told her she "wasn't allowed" to nominate Sophie
According to Grimes, the late electronic pioneer Sophie was blocked from an award nomination by the Recording Academy

In the cavernous wake of Renaissance’s Album Of The Year snub, another voice has entered the “Grammys Don’t Matter” choir: Grimes, who alleges that when she was a member of the voting body she was forbidden from nominating the late electronic music pioneer Sophie, and had to choose from a “pre-fabricated” list that left a bad taste in her mouth.
Grimes took her opportunity to read the Recording Academy in the comments of one of Charli XCX’s Instagram posts. In the post, Charli muses on her album Crash’s Grammys shutout, likening the situation to Pearl’s Mia Goth not receiving an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. Per Charli, her Grammys snub “only further proves that people don’t wanna see hot evil girls thrive.”
Tapping in with the empathy only another hot, evil girl can provide, Grimes comforted Charli by opining the Grammys are “literally not a relevant thing.”
“The Grammies are so irrelevant I wouldn’t even sweat it,” Grimes writes. “I stopped even clocking them in any capacity when I Was on the producer of the year board and they quite literally would not allow me to nominate anyone who wasn’t on a pre-fabricated list that was exceptionally boring.”
