for me its 

 

Lana > SZA > Olivia > Janelle > Taylor > Boygenius > Miley > Jon

 

 

but i HOPE for a Lana win. I do think boygenius or taylor WILL win. to be fair id be good with any winning

[Antisocialites]

The Record is my favorite album out of those but it still doesn't come close to being AOTY.

[Pheromosa]

I think they’ll give it to SZA in an effort to prove they aren’t racist.

I would be ok with Taylor,Olivia or SZA winning 

[Trainwreck]

Lana>Taylor/SZA>>> the rest

 

I think either Taylor or SZA will have it and tbh it'd feel just as right as Ocean Blvd winning 

[Solaria]

SZA’s SOS is a masterclass on versatility, honesty, raw emotions and artistic capability. Her voice, her lyrics, her moody beats, the layers in so many off the songs… it’s all a recipe for a phenomenal ******* album.

 

SZA has had such a triumphant year as an artist and she deserves nothing but the highest award in music to get recognized for her skill. She’s a once in a lifetime artist

[Klein]

I want SZA, Taylor or Lana to get it. 

[Dragonfly]

I have to give it to my girlie Lana

also #CarolinkyPolachinkyRobbed

 

[Beyonnaise]

Lana or SZA should.

 

It’s too soon after Folklore’s win and we all know Taylor can do better. If TS11 is a sound change she will obviously be the frontrunner again so Midnights can hold off.

[duybeeGAshantiGA]

We know Lana deserves but they will give it to SZA.

[réveuse]

It's between SZA and Lana, their works were truly a work of art.

[NEX]

Lana > SZA > Olivia/Taylor

[Revolution]

SZA

[byzantium]

Gawd, they are going to give it to that John Batiste guy again.  He is the only male in that list and everyone else will cancel out each other’s votes.  

[Finkypop]

I just hope a woman wins. I'd want Taylor to win but I'd be fine with any of them winning since Taylor has won the category so many times and she'll have more chances 

[G.U.Y.]

Lana, but as a form of reparation for the NFR loss in 2020.

[khalyan]

SZA deserves it, she has the best mix of commercial and critical success out of the albums nominated. SOS really defined the last year. 
 

Watch boygenius win somehow 

[Credit]

sza deserves it 100% but i'm going to be happy with a liv win too

[Winged]

Boygenius

[Polgg48]

Janelle Monáe — The Age Of Pleasure

Jon Batiste — World Music Radio

Taylor Swift — Midnights

Lana Del Rey — Did You Know That There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd?

Miley Cyrus — Endless Summer Vacation

Boygenius — the record

Olivia Rodrigo — GUTS

 

will win: SZA — SOS - setup with foo fighter snubbed, clear path for the narrative and moment

should win: Lana Del Rey - quality isnt that far off from NFR and one of most nom too

token/dark horse: Janelle Monáe - honorary from last album...

[iamanearthling]

Taylor, Lana or sza.

[ThousandMiles]

Miley of course 

[Raver]

Sza 

[Cain]

SZA

[Timeless]

Lana or SZA should win AOTY, and Taylor should win Best Pop Vocal Album
