  1. ^ Lady Gaga (November 20, 2019). "I am overwhelmed with joy that our work on A Star Is Born continues to be recognized over a year after it was released. THANK @recordingacademy for the 3 Grammy nominations today!! 😭 This is me and my engineer, and co-producer of "Shallow", Ben Rice on July 9, 2018 when we turned in the final master for the soundtrack. And it's the exact same mood that I have today finding out we were nominated for best compilation soundtrack, song of the year, and best song written for visual media (the song categories for two years in a row 🎉)! I love you all, thank you for the love and support!". Instagram. Archived from the original on December 26, 2021. Retrieved January 17, 2021.
