Is THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT the clear frontrunner for Album of the Year now?

this exact sentiment applied when folklore won AOTY as well. Everybody said she would never get another one but Midnights still won.

Except she had no honest to God real narrative to not win. The four wins would break the record (which they probably campaigned on) and the SZA discourse was relatively minute. Next year, she goes against Beyoncé who has - at this  point - the strongest "where is her aoty" than possibly anyone in the history of the award. So strong is it that her husband called sit out AT the Grammys. 
 

They are either going to give Beyoncé the award or they will do what they did between her and Adele and choose the safest choice (possibly Deeper Well). They won't give it to Swift back to back lie she's Stevie Wonder.

Clearly, but (as a Taylor stan) I am hoping Deeper Well takes it tbh :heart2:

Most of the aoty winners have been bland artists so yes. The last interesting winner was OutKast and Amy Winehouse..

Amy Winehouse didn't win AOTY, she lost to a Herbie Hancock album of Joni Mitchell covers, an absolute travesty

artistic integrity, something taylor doesn't have

artistic integrity is not crying/ranting about not winning aoty at the grammy in front of many people or in song but okay :suburban:

"privately" when she put it out there for the world to see and profited from it by including it in her documentary. :skull:

If Midnights can win, I don't see any reason why this won't. Especially if 2M debut week is on lock.

 

Or if they want to avoid backlash, just give it to Ariana..

And what effect did that have on her career? Right

 

When are yall gonna understand she's immune to "twitter backlash"


i mean she had a had a massive drop from 1989 to Reputation and Lover

 

She will always have us fans, but the GP can take her down or hurt her sales still

 

Right now she has everyone on her side based on hype alone.

I hope not 

its already so stupid that someone like Taylor has won 4 times let alone 5

beyonce deserved one since ST but I think Cowboy Carter is gonna win it, its her most acclaimed record and its also country and for a black artist winning that would be huge

That's Jay-Z, not Beyoncé. Two different people with their own views. Women are no longer their husband's possessions, but as a swifty I wouldn't expect you to understand that.

 

Anyway Jay made points with his speech and if you watched the full thing and not just a few seconds of it you'd know he was calling out the academy's racism. But I'm not surprised swiftys are racism deniers. :rip:

:alexz: I am afraid Beyonce is the wrong color to ever win but the stars are aligning for Grammy darling Billie who of course is the other white blonde lady....

Nope. 

It's a monster album commercially but it's not critically acclaimed enough or breaking new ground to justify a back to back win.

 

The ball is now in Billie's court.

If she is able to put out an album better than HTE then it can be viewed as a comeback and the momentum with her infamous campaigning is the right recipe.

 

Many who voted Taylor last year will not vote her this year and will vote Billie, Beyonce, Ariana and others.

 

Beyonce has Kacey and Chris Stapleton as well as losing urban support if a rap or r&b album also is in AOTy.

 

Billie has Vampire weekend to be worried about but not as much as Beyonce has Kacey, Chris and others.

 

Because taylor came out with a successful yet not massively acclaimed album more votes will go to her and she already has cross genre support in every group.

 

Billie's new album better than HTE: Billie > Beyonce > Taylor > Ariana > Vampire Weekend> chris stapleton > Kacey> and others

Billie's new album on par with HTE or worse: Beyonce > Billie > Taylor > Ariana > Vampire Weekend > Chris S > Kacey and others
