Grammy Awards have decided to boycott Spotify‘s party for the ceremony.The likes of Jessi Alexander, Amy Allen, Jessie Jo Dillon and RAYE – who have all been nominated for Songwriter Of The Year have announced they will be skipping the streaming platform’s celebratory bash and will also not be performing at the event.While speaking to Billboard, Allen (Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Sabrina Carpenter) and Dillon (Jelly Roll, Megan Marooney) confirmed that their absence is due to Spotify’s treatment of songwriters.“After some thought, I couldn’t in good conscience support this initiative given their approach to bundling royalties,” said Dillon in a statement to the publication. “It is very nice to be individually honored, but it is better for me and my entire songwriter community to be paid fairly for our art.
