Naya Rivera fans are not happy that the late Glee star was left out of the In Memoriam segment at the 2021 Grammys on Sunday night (March 14).
Rivera, who passed away in a tragic boating accident in July 2020, was nominated in 2010 as part of the Glee cast for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for their over of Journey's "Don’t Stop Believin,'" yet she was omitted from the Sunday ceremony. The evening did see the Recording Academy honor the likes of Little Richard, Kenny Rogers, John Prine and more. Scroll on below to read what Rivera fans had to say about the late actress' omission from Sunday's 63rd annual Grammy Awards.

what about naya rivera @RecordingAcad? one of our most terrible losses this year. it doesn’t matter if she didn’t have a solo musical career of her own, she made history through glee. you don’t find a voice like hers anywhere, she was unique. her covers were bigger than many.

Anyone else surprised they didn’t show Naya Rivera. I know a lot of ppl have passed but Cory was definitely shown when he passed #GRAMMYs
