The 56th Annual Grammy Awards were announced over the weekend, and while R&B singers Tamar Braxton, Faith Evans and Fantasia received nominations for their singles this year, K. Michelle and Ciara were left out. While K. Michelle took to Twitter to vent, Ciara explained to fans on her Instgram page why she wasn't surprised.

"Unfortunately it couldn't be eligible because of the -My Boo- sample in it. I discovered this before the songs allowed for nominations were set..." 'Body Party' was praised by critics this year, and went to number on the Billboard charts.

She recently also won a the Soul Train award for Best Single for 'Body Party.'
