Unsure if popularity, nostalgia, and/or young age has clouded some people's judgement, but it's not groundbreaking and definitely not in her top tier albums; that's saved for folklore, evermore, Speak Now, and Red. Because it is

Holiest Dreams Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 That tweet is a lie (not shocked). The full list is out and Best Music Video and Best Country Song are both in the pre-show.

Kinda want IBYTAM to win as well but let's not get greedy

Anytime someone gets it that these 4 are in a league of their own, I know the world is healing a little. But don't forget the masterpiece that is Wildest Dreams in the process.
Taylor fanboy Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 I just want a Speak Now TV announcement. TODAY IS THE DAY!!!
Holiest Dreams Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 9 minutes ago, Taylor Swift said: Wildest Dreams' lyrics aren't great. Melody, vocals, and production is what saves it Maybe the verses aren’t anything special lyrically but the chorus is perfect pop writing and the bridge is lyrically good too, both in a pop and non-pop sense. Kinda still one of her best bridges. I wish she’d explored the dreampop sound more on Midnights a bit.

Yup! 1 hour ago, Steve Johnson said: Ik. But Blank Space is still better than all of them. 1989 is the better album, SN lacks that timeless/ evergreen factor that 1989 or folklore have.
Taylor fanboy Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 “He’s so tall and handsome as hell” is just the same as “look at your face” but with no quirk or personality.
Cruel Summer Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 1989’s lyricism shines in its precision. The songs are cohesive, effective pop tracks with little time or energy wasted where it wouldn’t improve the piece, even in the words. I find it much more resilient to passing time than Lover or Reputation have been - and while I still think Midnights is her best pop album, I can’t honestly say that I’m certain it will age as well as 1989. I can actually go back to that album and just sink into it and feel something.
Kyle-x Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 1989's lyricism is great, it's just great in a different way than a Speak Now or an evermore. Her versatility as a songwriter is overlooked here because people are so busy focusing on how x is better than y while not realizing there's room for both to shine in different ways.
littlebodybigheart Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 swifities needing every song to be written like a 17th century book is wild like it’s okay to just write a very cut and dry pop song with great melodies instead.

Taylor fanboy Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 Why would she attend if she knows so well that she’s going home empty-handed? I’m sure SHE knows she’s getting at least ONE!
Ms. Togekiss Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 her relationship with the Grammys is so weird. She's no grammy darling at all, yet every couple of years her presence and artistry is so undeniable they cant help but give her AOTY. But she's been completely ignored in genre categories... Her last non-AOTY Grammy was in 2016...
