Yes it does

 

You all are acting like Midnights is some panned album :rip:

 

 

Midnights is an excellent record in itself

And yes it defined a new type of artistic dominance 

 

It perfectly fits the bill

Yeah, technically it does. Midnight does showcase Taylor's musical proficiency, including the album's producers. 

 

However, if the question is: Is it the best album among all the nominees? My answer is no. There are way better albums than Midnights on that same category, and I'm saying this as a stan.

They just give it to her because their daughters and sons stan her and because she's at a commercial peak. Midnight doesn't deserve any awards, especially when compared to folklore.

It’s technically sufficient but it is in all ways an artistic regression from her previous win, so it’s difficult to call it an artistic achievement.

It’s such an underwhelming album. But Jack Antonoff is still Grammys darling. We have  to be strong and just wait it out till a new big producer emerges

Well, that's awesome that we give a chance to Elevator Music to win awards.

I think you need to have a word with yourself ATRL user Taeyong and wonder if it is normal to be this mad that a woman won an award? I’d suggest booking into therapy or seeking further help before ever logging onto ATRL again.

It may have deserved the nomination but not the win

Doesn’t Lana get the award too because she’s featured? I thought they got rid of the 30% rule

Not mad sweetie, never that. Disappointed, sure, but not mad.


The question was valid and it's allowed to be asked. You could always... not click on the thread and not reply if the question bothers you that much.

 

Sincerely,

A Swiftie since 2008

The album was ass imo but there was no way they were going to award to anyone other than Taylor.

Taylor is having the biggest year as a musician in this lifetime. And she's also acclaimed so it would be a susprise that she didn't win more than not. 

That's overall excellence being rewarded to me. You can't get to where she is right now in her career without excellence, boos.

It isn't panned

..but it's a Meh album.

 

if it was by any other artist, that would be evident..

but it's exactly because Taylor's name is attached to it, that it received so much praise

literally Swifties started calling it MIDnights

 

 

SOS deserved the AOTY award.

Anti-Hero wasn't even 3rd or even 4th in all categories, no one really expected AH to win.
