‘Wasn’t my year’ Ed Sheeran on his Album of the Year Grammy snub
The past 12 months have been amazing for singer/song writer Ed Sheeran.
The musician released his highly anticipated album ÷, which almost went double-platinum in Ireland, as well as leaking his lead singles from the album Shape of You and Castle on the Hill, which remain in the charts almost nine months after their release.
Ed also sold out a global stadium tour – not too shabby we think.
With all the success and Ed-man ia gripping the globe, many thought that Ed Sheeran wa a shoe-in for a Grammy nomination.
However, when the nominations for Album of the Year were revealed, Ed hadn't made the cut.
He was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Solo Performance for Shape of You, but fans were definitely disappointed that he wasn't up for Album of the Year.
Ellen DeGeneres echoed fans sentiments, telling Sheeran in an interview that she is outraged he was not nominated for Album of the Year or Song of the Year.
'My outlook on it is like, some years you have your year and some years you don't have your year, and maybe this year wasn't my year,' he replied.
He also said that validation for him comes from people enjoying his music, and not from awards.
