All Taylor Swift needs is acclaim/notable sales in order to be a GF lock. Which will likely happen.
afaik the grammys really dont look at sales as a main factor when considering who to vote for. otherwise reputation woulda at least been nominated lol. there were so many times when artists that were virtual no-namers and beat out the hotshots of that year. unless the grammys reconsidered their criteria i wouldnt put sales a factor.
that said, i feel like the grammys are still ‘hate-giving’ taylor swift AOTYs lmao. they’ll snub her at every opportunity in every fields, but given how weak the competitors are nowadays, they just couldnt give it to another artist lmao. we’ll see.

99% of the time it’s sales, or perhaps more accurately, how well known you are when Grammy voters scroll down that list of 1000 names to add someone to their nominations list (alphabetical order helps sometimes). For the most part it’s about having people in the industry know who you are and sales certainly help.

No?..
Taylor has had way too many pop snubs for her to ever be a lock with an album track.

October 8, 2022 at 6:08 pm #1205111854“Breathe” was nominated because there were a quadrillion Pop categories. In a merged Pop Duo/Group lineup, it would’ve definitely missed.
“exile” only nominated because it came out just months before voting. If “Snow on the Beach” came out in late Summer 2023, maybe it could get in.
Take “Nothing New” for example. It’s a great song, but it’s a non-factor this year. “I Bet You Think About Me” is a completely different story though.

October 9, 2022 at 9:36 am #1205112454“exile”’s BPDGP nod benefitted from Folklore’s late release. I doubt the Lana collab is locked unless it’s a single & performs well.

ReplyCopy URLOctober 18, 2022 at 8:01 am #1205124829I’m sorry but to Rihanna fans, did even R8 live up to the hype? Are you really excited to hear a Rihanna that’s been out of the studio for over six years when the one of half that period wasn’t anything exciting?
Most likely she’ll churn out another bare-minimum, trend-hopping record. This isn’t to insult her, it’s just what I’ve come to expect from her. I remember how hyped I was for ANTI just for me to be fast asleep less than halfway through.

ReplyCopy URLOctober 18, 2022 at 2:42 pm #1205125436ANTI is one of the longest charting albums in Billboard’s history. It exceeded hype & sustained longevity. The SB will only give it more of a boost.
