The same backlash that she was supposed to receive this year, or the year she won her 3rd, or 2nd? Maybe we do need a 5th win, so that "backlash" can lead to a massive ratings increase again like it did this year. 1

Interesting to say that now...that wasn't the case during the I am...Sasha Fierce, BEYONCE, Lemonade and Renaissance eras but ok. That said, I'm thinking neither and still going with Billie, Vampire Weekend or someone else. A rap album and possible r&b album or two rap albums or just one rap album inclusion will pull votes and sway things a bit. Because it has shown more than ever that it doesnt reward what it says it rewards. You cannot under no circumstances deny black artists from winning in major categories like that. It just reads really really bad, and it's worse now than it was in the 80s. Adele and Taylor having more AOTYs than all black females together in the history of the show? No ma Always rewarding Bey in genre categories only to "humble" her in the general fields? No mam And I dont believe Bey shouldve won all of her genre awards, but its clear its their way of comforting her because of the riggamoris that is happening and because Bey is too valuable for them Edited March 31 by Kristie Kuwa
Jude Posted April 1 Posted April 1 (edited) Imagine if Taylor wins again. It'll probably go to another random male artist lbr. Edited April 1 by Jude
Arrows Posted April 2 Posted April 2 How are there still people who believe the Grammys are one entity that take viewership and their own image into consideration when awarding? If you believe that, why would you care one bit about the Grammys?
byzantium Posted April 2 Posted April 2 Can't we wait until September for these threads? Chances are they will give it to some white guy this year.

superben Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Neither. Cowboy Carter does not deserve a nomination let alone an AOTY win. And Taylor won't get a consecutive win. 2
Venice B Posted April 4 Posted April 4 No shade to Beyoncé because I really enjoy the album but when they announce the nominees and Cowboy Carter takes two whole slideshows for all the writing credits... 1 1

GreatestLoveofAll Posted April 5 Posted April 5 neither. Giving Taylor another win after the backlash from SOS loss would end the Grammys and Beyonce already has the old heads furious with her reclaiming her country music roots. I would be very very very surprised if they award her for such a move.

Is it really about the music? Yall give out reasoning about this and that and none is about the actual music. So it's about playing the game and politics? bingo tbh almost every time this question pops up, it's actually about the logistics of the voters or campaigning of it all, almost never about the contents of the album.

NARAS can't control the final decision voters (most of our faves) will vote for whoever they like they don't care bout the backlash. The Grammys used to have BRP to block nominees but thanks to Abel we now can witness Taylor's 5th AOTY

Robyn. Posted April 5 Posted April 5 I don't understand the fascination for these specific Grammy categories because who actually checks those? Like who thinks of a certain year in music with the Album, Record, Song of the year in mind? It look great on paper, but it's something you most probably forget. 1
