People are speaking out after Aaron Carter was noticeably missing from the Grammys' touching "In Memoriam" tribute that included Loretta Lynn, Jeff Beck, Fleetwood Mac's Christine McVie and Migos' Takeoff among others.

Fans of the late singer are outraged Carter was excluded from the tribute after his death in November of last year at 34 years old. Carter released his first album at age nine and rocketed to stardom with his hits "I Want Candy" and "Aaron's Party (Come Get It)."


More recently, Carter was on Broadway, cameoed in several reality shows and released an EP. Several of his songs were posthumously released for streaming.

Many of Carters fans took to Twitter to honor him and call out the Grammys for not including him in the on-air tribute.













Though Carter was not featured in the on-air tribute, his name was included in the memoriam tribute section in Sunday night's program book on page 191.

A source told HuffPost:

"There are hundreds of names to consider and it's always a tough call for the people who put the show together."

Other noticeable omissions from the on-air tribute include Thee 6 Mafia's Gangsta Boo, rapper Lil Keed and Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins.

Hawkins, however, was honored by Trevor Noah during last year's Grammys.

Osment, who began acting at age five, is one of a rare breed in Hollywood—a child star turned successful adult actor. It's a journey many kids have infamously stumbled on, but that Jordan has also successfully navigated perhaps in part thanks to Osment.

Texas GOP's Bizarre Text Warning Voters About 'Weirdo Furry Socialists' Sparks Mockery

A Texas political action committee sparked online mockery after multiple people independently told the San Antonio Current they received a text message urging Texans to vote Republican to keep so-called "furry Socialists" from choosing their leaders.

The message was sent Saturday alongside a photo purportedly showing a man wearing a fox-tail accessory as he left a polling location in Collin County. The message identified its sender as Texans for Common Sense, a political action committee funded entirely by Texans United for a Conservative Majority PAC, a far-right organization backed by West Texas oil billionaire Tim Dunn.
