Last year’s Grammys had a similar trend of female nominees. Dua Lipa shouted out the Academy in her acceptance speech last year.

Lipa said, “I just wanted to say how honored I am to be nominated alongside so many incredible female artists this year, because I guess this year we really stepped up!”

Former first lady Michelle Obama was also nominated for a Grammy for best spoken word album for the audiobook narration of her memoir “Becoming.”

The 2020 Grammy Awards will be broadcasted live from the Los Angeles Staples Center on Jan. 26, 2020.
