The 66th Annual Grammy Awards are happening on Sunday, February 4, 2024, and they're a big deal for music stars.

Back in November 2023, they announced the people and songs nominated for awards. This rapper named SZA got the most nominations, a total of nine! Others like Phoebe Bridgers, Serban Ghenea, and Victoria Monét also got a lot of nominations.

When SZA found out about her nominations, she was really happy but also a bit nervous. She shared her feelings on a platform called X, which used to be Twitter.

She said she was grateful and surprised. SZA also talked about how she wished her grandma was still around to go to the Grammy Awards with her. Back in 2018, when she was nominated and performed at the Grammys for the first time, her grandma came from St. Louis to be with her.

It was a big deal because her grandma had never been on an airplane before. Sadly, SZA's grandma passed away a year later. So, this year's Grammys hold special memories for SZA.

The Grammy Awards in 2024 promise to be a fantastic event, and everyone is excited about it. It's a time to celebrate the best music and the talented artists who make it.
