Grammys 2021 criticized for not including Naya Rivera during lengthy 'In Memoriam' segment
Fox News
The late "Glee" star's fans were upset to see she wasn't included in the 2021 "In Memoriam" segment following her tragic death in July of 2020.
This was especially perplexing to some who noted that Rivera received a Grammy nomination in 2010 thanks to her work on the hit FOX TV show. She was nominated for best pop performance by a duo or group with vocals for the cast’s cover of Journey’s "Don’t Stop Believing" at the time. Host Trevor Noah opened the 2021 "In Memoriam" segment by noting that viewers could go to the Grammy’s website to see a full list of nearly 1,000 names of music industry stars who died this year. Although Rivera is included in that list, the actress and singer’s fans were quick to take to social media to voice their displeasure with the Recording Academy for not including her in the main broadcast.More Related News
