Morgan Wallen Will Not Submit Latest Album for Grammys Consideration
The country superstar Morgan Wallen will not submit his latest album for consideration at the Grammy Awards, his representatives confirmed on Wednesday, rebuffing an institution that has paid him little attention during his rise as one of the most popular artists in music. Wallen's 'I'm the Problem' has held the top spot on the Billboard 200 chart on 11 nonconsecutive weeks since its release in May. The Recording Academy has recognized Wallen with two past nominations. Neither was for work on his previous three albums; he picked up both nods for the 2025 ceremony for his feature on 'I Had Some Help,' a hit off Post Malone's album 'F-1 Trillion.' Wallen, who didn't explain his decision to step away from the awards, has joined an assembly of major artists who have abandoned the music industry's most recognized honors. Drake, the Weeknd, Frank Ocean and Zach Bryan have all at times opted not to submit their music for Grammys consideration, citing reasons including concerns over the nomination process, the makeup of the voting body and the restrictions of genre-based categories. The Weeknd boycotted the awards for several years, until a détente in February, when the singer played two songs on the telecast. In a speech before the performance, Harvey Mason Jr., the head of the Grammy Awards, said that the academy had listened to artists' criticism of the institution as being out of touch with younger tastes, noting that it had recently refreshed much of its membership. Hits Daily Double, the music industry gossip site, was the first to report the news of Wallen's decision. On 'I'm the Problem,' the singer and songwriter's moody and melancholy fourth album, Wallen delivered 37 tracks that include collaborations with Tate McRae, Eric Church and Post Malone. Songs on the album could end up receiving recognition at the Grammys if they are submitted for consideration by other songwriters — the album's extensive roster includes the producer Charlie Handsome and the songwriter Ernest.. Wallen has a history of keeping mainstream music institutions at a distance. Last year, he won entertainer of the year at the Country Music Association Awards and was the most nominated artist, but he was absent from the ceremony. Once rebuked by the mainstream music industry after video surfaced of him using a racial slur, Wallen faced another wave of public scrutiny last year when he was arrested and accused of throwing a chair from the sixth-story roof of a downtown bar owned by Church. He pleaded guilty to reduced charges, for misdemeanor reckless endangerment, in December. The incident did little to dampen his popularity — he was among the most streamed artists of last year — and he is currently on a stadium tour for 'I'm the Problem.' Nominations for the upcoming Grammy Awards will be announced in November, and the awards show is scheduled for Feb. 1. Artists may submit their music for consideration through Aug. 29.

Party on, Jon Jamón: Jon Hamm spotted at Bad Bunny concert in Puerto Rico
When Jon Hamm touches down in PR, he's far from a "Turista." The Emmy-winning actor, who's made it no secret that he's a Bad Bunny superfan, was spotted attending the reggaeton superstar's concert residency in Puerto Rico over the weekend. Bad Bunny kicked off the hotly anticipated string of shows, titled No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí, on July 11 at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico, the island's largest indoor arena. Hamm, also known by his fan alias "Jon Jamón," was seen dancing to the Grammy-winning singer's energetic set throughout the concert. The "Mad Men" alum, 54, also channeled the tropical inspiration of the Puerto Rican landscape with his show attire, which included a short-sleeved, island-style shirt with matching bottoms and a bucket hat. As seen in concert footage, Hamm had one of the best seats in the house. The actor was spotted in Bad Bunny's "La Casita," a VIP section modeled after a traditional Puerto Rican home. Hamm waved and blew kisses to nearby fans, and he gyrated to the music as Bad Bunny made his way through the crowd. Hamm isn't the only celebrity who's partied it up at Bad Bunny's casita. Actor Austin Butler, who went viral for his dance moves at the singer's residency, raved about the concert experience during an Aug. 12 interview on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon." "I'm just like, so proud of him," Butler recalled. "I'm watching him going, 'Oh my God, look how much you mean to everyone here.' I'm like, falling in love with Puerto Rican culture and the dancing, and everybody is so sexy and amazing." Bad Bunny is expected to continue his residency performances every weekend through Sept. 14, followed by a world tour that commences in November. 'My brain is in two movies': Austin Butler recalls trippy Bad Bunny concert after taking edible Jon Hamm explains his love for Bad Bunny During an April 10 appearance on the "Today" show, Hamm opened up about his love of Bad Bunny's work. "You can't listen to his music and not smile," Hamm told host Savannah Guthrie. "I just love his story. He's a really nice guy. He's funny. He's an 'SNL' guy, too. They love him over there." Hamm and Bad Bunny performed together for the 50th anniversary special of "Saturday Night Live," during which Hamm received the nickname "Jon Jamón" from "SNL" alum Amy Poehler as a play on his surname (Jamón translates to "ham" in Spanish). Bad Bunny setlist: All the songs on his No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí residency Hamm also shared his excitement about his plans to attend the No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí residency, praising Bad Bunny for staying true to his Puerto Rican roots. "It's really cool that he's going back to his home, to really kind of give back to the fans," Hamm said. "He's reserving the first four, five or 10 shows, or whatever it is, for only residents of Puerto Rico, which is so cool."
