Following Eilish’s album of the year win, Billboard asked music fans who should’ve won instead, and almost 40 percent voted for Del Rey’s Norman Fucking Rockwell!, with Ariana Grande‘s Thank U, Next coming in second. According to Newsweek, fans started dubbing the award show the “Scammys” in response to their favorite artists being “snubbed.”

Del Rey has yet to comment on Eilish’s win, but it appears she has no beef with Eilish. In August, Del Rey told the New York Times that she loved Eilish and called her “prodigious.”
“I personally am very discerning,” Del Rey told the Times. “I can tell if a female pop singer, for instance, has a generosity of spirit or a playful fire in her heart. With Billie, she’s prodigious. I needed to hear one line of one melody and I just know.”
