The NFL is allowing a limited vaccinated crowd to attend the superbowl, I wonder if the Grammy’s will do the same…

That would be a good idea. The AMAs had a socially distanced small group, which could work too.

Can someone remind me of why Truth Hurts probably won pop solo over bad guy?

It was, but I doubt voters also thought Shape of You was a better performance than Praying or Million Reasons.

Truth Hurts and Bad Guy were probably very close everywhere. Bad Guy likely got the edge on an expanded category since Rock/Alt and tech voters who likely went for it in the GF didn’t vote pop. Lizzo also had H.E.R and Lil Nas X taking votes away from her in the General Field.

I like the fact that all the winners of Best Pop Solo Performance can sing perfectly their winning songs.

Imo it’s because “Truth Hurts” blew up as a hit closer to voting than “bad guy”.

A smaller voting pool than the general field and Truth Hurts appeal to more “demographics”. In The GF she was likely splitting votes with Old Town Road and H.E.R for hip-hop and R&B voters. Also the Academy seemed to be obsessed with voting Finneas everywhere.

Honey, that part!  Dumb ass users believe Pharrell Williams was ahead of Beyoncé in Album of the Year due to winning Best Urban Contemporary Album.  That may not be true since every voter does NOT vote in the R&B Field. However, more voters vote in the General Field.

I agree that Truth Hurts and Bad Guy were extremely close but it’s Billie’s major support with the producers/engineers/alt/indie voters pushed her over. Billie probably had their full support while, like others said, Lizzo split a bit with her other voting blocks. Similar to how I don’t think it’s impossible to see a Dua BPVA with a Taylor AOTY win.

FYC 2021:
AOTY: folklore
ROTY: Don't Start Now
SOTY: cardigan
BNA: Phoebe Bridgers

A Dua BPVA and Taylor AOTY split is not happening. Splits like that never happen since they’re both in AOTY.

The only split i can see is Dua with Pop Solo and Taylor Pop Album
