The Grammys 2019 are a few weeks away but a leaked list of Grammy winners is circulating the internet. The tweet has since been deleted but the damage is already done. The Recording Academy has responded to the list saying it’s fake.
The original tweet reportedly had a video of the list from the Grammys website making it seem like the list was leaked directed right from the Grammys site.
“There is no legitimacy to this,” the Recording Academy spokesperson told Billboard. “Grammy Awards results are not shared, even with the Recording Academy staff members, until the day of the Grammy Awards ceremony, when names of the recipients are delivered by [accounting firm] Deloitte in sealed envelopes.”
Here are the supposed winners from the leaked list.
Song of the Year — “Shallow,” Lady Gaga, Mark Ronson, Anthony Rossomando and Andrew Wyatt, songwriters (Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper)
Record of the Year — “I Like It,” Cardi B, Bad Bunny and J Balvin
Album of the Year — H.E.R., H.E.R.
Best New Artist — Chloe x Halle
Best Pop Solo — “Colors,” Beck
Best Pop Duo — “The Middle,” Zedd, Marren Morris and Grey
Best Pop Album — Reputation, Taylor Swift
