Every year, usually from summer to fall (but sometimes even the whole Grammy season), multiple artists promote their work in order to gain traction for the Grammy Awards.
Which artists have been campaining and how for this year? These campaigns usually include TV & radio performances/interviews, Recording Academy programming such as events at the Grammy Museum, extended FYC campaigns in websites and magazines, narrative-building, etc.
Please feel free to share below. These past years some of the more “surprising” nominees like Vampire Weekend, H.E.R, Brandi Carlile, and Lana del Rey (alongside other big players like Kacey Musgraves, Lizzo, Lil Nas X, and Billie Eilish) were among the artists with big campaigns to help their chances.

ReplyCopy URLLady Gaga (Interscope) is eyeing the release of a music video the coming weeks.
Also, she has a radio weekly podcast on Apple Music for this month titled GagaRadio every Friday, where the creators of Chromatica are taking the spin.
This will lead up to VMAS night. Thats for now for her.

Any word on how Taylor will be campaigning “folklore”? I wouldn’t be surprised if she had a VMAs performance planned as well.

ReplyCopy URLI’m not banking on a huge campaign since she’s been completely MIA since the album drop and hasn’t done any promo for it whatsoever.
She has been so silent since release. What’s going in her mind? Girl, start doing some promo.
I think she is secretly re-recording her previous album to release it later this year or early 2021 one by one.ReplyCopy URLLove Roger Federer ♥ the most.
GaGa sweeping the VMAs ala Beyoncé in 2016 is the ultimate GRAMMY campaign.
Chromatica has risen lol

She doesn’t really need to do much right now, because each week there are album reviews and Billboard chart updates to keep her in the news.
But there are also news events like this.
https://twitter.com/i/events/1296630185320538112Copies of folklore sent to independent record shops in the US don’t just help the indie record shops, it also helps the smaller artists that sell their records in those shops and many of those indie artists are NARAS members.
This is very similar to what she did in 2016, where according to the official media reports, Taylor Swift forced Apple Music to change it’s policy on paying royalties during Apple Music’s free 3-month trial period, which was billed as a win for the indie artists
https://www.latimes.com/83843511-132.html(in 2016 she also spoke out against Spotify, but now she is with Spotify)
This seems to have helped her campaign for 1989, so no harm in trying a different variation on the same plan for folklore.
Perhaps we will see more open campaigning in the future, but there is a good chance she doesn’t do much until at least the point where the first round voting is about to start and maybe not even then.
