As Gossip Cop reported, a selection of the 2017 AMAs nominations were unveiled by Ciara at the ā€œGood Morning Americaā€ studio in Times Square, where Halsey was set to perform. For ā€œCloser,ā€ her collaboration with The Chainsmokers, Halsey scored a nod in the category of Best Pop/Rock Song. But she noticed that the nominees for Artist of the Year and Best Pop/Rock Album were all male.

ā€œReally honored to have received an @AMAs nomination but really disappointed to hear near exclusively male namesā€¦ such a missed opportunity,ā€ she tweeted, adding, ā€œSo many incredible female artists have released this year. hoping the coming award shows give them the credit that is due to them.ā€ Nominations for the American Music Awards are typically decided based on sales data, radio airplay, social media activity, touring and other business-related factors. There were also more than a dozen categories still left to be announced later this morning.

Halsey did not mention her gripes on-air, though Robin Roberts did give her props for a successful year. ā€œ[Your] chart-topping album Hopeless Fountain Kingdom has been wonderful. I mean, 2017 has been crazy,ā€ the host said. ā€œYou had the two Grammy nominations. Oh, that song ā€˜Closer.ā€™ Itā€™s like an earworm, over and over again. So, what has this year meant to you?ā€

The singer replied, ā€œItā€™s been really special. I just put out my second album, and the fans were so warm and amazing in receiving it. Iā€™m on my ā€˜Hopeless Fountain Kingdom Tourā€™ right now. I get to play Barclays tomorrow, which is crazy. Itā€™s the biggest tour Iā€™ve ever done and I designed it so lovingly, with so much care and attention to make sure itā€™s a really intimate and mind-blowing experience for everyone who comes.ā€

ā€œIā€™m just hoping that everyoneā€™s having the time of their lives on the tour, ā€™cause I am,ā€ she added. Check out the video below.
