Because the song and the video is not as good as this fanbase gaslight themselves into thinking that it is 

Or maybe because Grammys do not indicate or mean anything unlike the whole world gaslight us to think otherwise

Delete pls !! :franminervini:

I’m not 100% well-versed in how the academy works, but maybe the members in charge of nominating Best MV just don’t like Gaga? Or maybe their criteria for the nom is something the video missed? Idk tbh but I really do think  it deserved the nom.

Its a great video as others have said - but primarily because of it's choreography. 

I'd assume that the voting members were more interested in videos that did more with cinematography.

Some said that because she directed the mv herself but Not Like Us directed by Lamar himself and even All Too Well was directed and produced by Taylor. It doesnt make sense if she didnt get a nom just because she directed Abra by herself....

So I guess she didnt want to submit it because Total Mayhem lead single is going to be the most iconic mv she ever released, hence Best Music Video nom for Grammys 2027 :ally:

I think we tend to overestimate it a little bit.  It’s amazingly well choreographed and shot but it’s essentially just a dance video shot in one room.

I think we all reacted that way to it because Gaga’s last reaaaaally well executed/filmed group choreo in a music video was probably Yoü And I in 2011. It’s something we had missed. But the whole storyline demonstration basically happens in the first sequences of the video, from the start to the first verse. Then it’s essentially shots of the same scenes, one with a different outfit.

It’s still a fantastic video for what it is, but I probably wouldn’t name it in Gaga’s top 10 music videos.

Not the  rain on me erasure omg

At the vmas it was chosen to submit DWAS for whatever reason, probably for being a bigger hit and VMAs usually reserve those for the top categories (see Poker Face nominated in VOTY in 2009 while Paparazzi, the superior video, got the tech nods just like Abracadabra)

For the Grammys it was purely because the visual categories have a small jury to decide the nominees based on the top 20 most voted by general members. I am 100% sure Gaga got enough votes to be top 5 (hence her overperformance in other categories) but the jury blocked it who knows what were their motivations.

That's just it, when you're bound to a small jury it becomes highly unpredictable what the taste of that group will be like and there is no conspiracy to be taken after that.

I agree Abra should've been nom'd as is one of the best videos of the year (and they nominated the badly edited Manchild bffr) but voila, Let's just move on cause we have proof with other categories that Gaga is beloved by the populat vote.

They didn’t submit it for VOTY at the VMAs. 

What a bone-headed decision.

Great choreo and outfits but ultimately they’re just dancing in a plain black room, so I can see why it wasn’t nominated 

she/her 🖤 Gaga, Billie, MJ

What I do not understand is why this Kendrick Lamar is repeatedly nominated when he is cr*p...

Also, tea, security guards at Palau Sant Jordi (Barcelona) told us he is a huge *sshole whereas Gaga is the sweetest, we won :vegas:
