Some of country music's biggest stars are among 2018's Grammy nominees.

Country music was shut out of all four of the biggest all-genre categories of Album, Song, Record and Best New Artist of the Year, and there were also some genuine surprises in the country nominations. Reba MacEntire turned up in an interesting non-country category in the Grammy Awards nominations.

The 2018 Grammy Awards take place on Jan. 28 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
