Phoebe is the most nominated from BNA artists. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves, Grammys love pop acts. I remember people predicting H.E.R in BNA but Dua Lipa won. Meaning… watch out for Doja Cat.

Honey, wrong!  Both Best New Artist nominees Phoebe Bridgers and Megan Thee Stallion received four nominations.

Gucci is right, but one alternative/rock girlie, one rap girl and a pop solo nominee in ROTY. Personally, I would like a change and not always having Pop winners, but the voters are kinda leaning to pop acts in BNA last 3 years.

don’t forget doja is in ROTY too despite that one credit …
it’s definitely quite close between those three but i think megan’s album gives her the edge especially if body is a hit

in my mind, everyone who votes for folklore will end up voting for Phoebe

she may lose a few of Taylor’s votes to Ingrid, but that’s better than Megan who is vote splitting with 2-4 other acts

Megan or Phoebe should win, but time and time again The Grammys have shown that they would rather reward and up and coming pop star / act over much more deserving artists see:

Meghan Trainor over James Bay
Alessia Cara over SZA
Dua Lipa over H.E.R.
Fun. over Frank Ocean

Doja Cat is the most likely choice to benefit from that.

of course, there have been exceptions like Bon Iver and Esperanza Spalding, but this trend has been occurring in more recent years.

I could also see Phoebe pulling off a win through vote splitting between Megan, D Smoke, and Doja, but not too sure. I don’t really know if Doja will attract THAT many rap votes, while she has clear pop support.

Megan and Doja split the vote and Ingrid Andress easily wins. She’s already got Country song and Album in the bag.

Megan SHOULD win but I see a pop act taking this (as they normally do)

ANYBODY but Doja Cat please. She’s trash and I guarantee in 5 years she won’t be around

Megan deserves it but I really don’t see these grammy members voting for her.

The academy members that will vote for Folklore to win AOTY will probably vote for someone like Phoebe or Ingrid. Phoebe will get all the alternative/rock votes and Ingrid will get all the Country votes and she’s the only country act nominated in the GF.

There’s also Doja Cat. She was really smart marketing herself as a pop star instead of a rapper. Just look at all those performances she has been doing everywhere and with all those BNA artist wins everywhere. She could be the token black winner of the GF that it’s also “pop friendly” to the Grammy voters.

I feel like Miranda is sweeping the Country Field. I live in Mid-Central America and I had never heard of Ingrid Andress until the noms, but Bluebird has been everywhere around here.

How do you automatically jump from Megan and Doja to Ingrid? Phoebe Bridgers and Kaytranada also have multiple nominations in their fields, plus the track record for country artists winning BNA is not great.

Not to mention, those country awards are going to Maren Morris and Miranda Lambert.

Bubba is a great album and actually acclaimed, you should also listen to the Kaytranada remix of Don’t Start Now, I would vote for him, but I think Doja Cat or Megan will win this.

Chika will also steal votes from Megan as well.
