Kendrick Lamar is nominated for a lot of Grammys! Album and Song of the Year! Like every rap category, for songs that aren’t even his! Best Video — with and without Taylor Swift! But will he win? We’re rooting for him the same way we were rooting for Cam Newton. We hope he fares better in the Super Bowl of music. We’ll be updating this post live as the results come in today, throughout this afternoon’s pre-telecast awards and the main ceremony tonight, where Kendrick will also perform. Tune out the other noise if you want and just focus on what’s most important about Grammy night: Kendrick Lamar.
