Tylerbv Posted July 8 Posted July 8 I'm kind of seeing Taylor and Bey being mostly shut out. They'll get noms, but I only think we'll see 1-2 wins amongst them. I could see Billie picking up a few and Sabrina sneaking some SOTY/ROTY.
Erreur2 La Nature Posted July 8 Posted July 8 The Grannys should really try to… evolve. How boring, predictable and sad. 1
family.guy123 Posted July 8 Posted July 8 As long as SOTY goes to a previous recipient of that award and AOTY goes to TTPD, I'll be happy 1

Chappell's album came out on Sep 22, 2023. OT: It is kind of exciting to see such a competitive year. Here are my 2 cents: AOTY: I think they have the "perfect" story to finally give Beyonce her AOTY. The whole "going country" narrative could be their excuse. Not saying she does not deserve it, just that she has had more successful and more impactful albums. If she does not take it, I doubt it'll go to a pop girl (maaaybe Billie). They could give it to a male artist like Hozier. ROTY: Yeah, it should be "Not Like Us". If not, I guess Sabrina can snatch it, but I am not sure, her songs are huge but they don't feel monumental like "Flowers" did. SOTY: Probably Hozier or someone not even on ATRL's radar. Or Billie can snatch another win with BOAF. BNA: Yeah it's Chappell against Sabrina, unless a male sneaks in. I doubt Taylor will leave empty handed so she'll probably get Pop Duo as there's no much competition in that field (that I can remember). The pop categories is probbaly where Chappell and Sabrina have more chances. Sabrina could probably get the Pop Solo and Chappell Pop Album (unless Sabrina's album is amazing). In theory, Ariana should be a threat here too with "We Can't Be Friends" and 'Eternal Sunshine'. And while it may not have been super successful, Dua could also snatch some nominations here. As for Charli, I am afraid she may be too edgy for the Grammys. 1
TayDuaStan Posted July 8 Posted July 8 I just hope Taylor wins any other Grammy besides AOTY because I'm craving for her to work with new producers… and i fear this is the only way. She didn't win AOTY for Red, we got new producers for 1989, she didn't win AOTY with Rep… new producers for Lover, no AOTY for Lover, a new producer for Folklore. 1

Putting GLB in the album would make her fly dangerously close to one era wonder territory. Anyway I don't think Chappell has a chance at AOTY. I'm betting on Billie.

But when is that supposed sophomore album gonna come out? Releasing one soon is a bad idea considering the debut only started smashing recently. I think it makes far more sense her for to push it as a TRAFOAMP single (a la Hozier with Too Sweet) and just kick off a new era early next year.
Venice B Posted July 8 Posted July 8 Chappell is not getting AOTY like be for real. It's 100% going to Billie.
50thStateofMind Posted July 8 Posted July 8 I think it's between Bey and Billie for AOTY. Billie seems like a shoe-in unless Beyonce does something to promote the album and give it any longevity 2
aotearoa Posted July 8 Posted July 8 I don't see Taylor winning anything besides maybe Best Music Video
bad guy Posted July 8 Posted July 8 Surprised BRAT wasn't mentioned, it deserves a nomination at the very least. It feels like a breakthrough era for her and she's pretty connected among industry peers. I feel like people are overestimating Chappell/Sabrina's chances in the Big 4. Pop solo or BNA maybe but the rest is a stretch.
KillingYourCareer Posted July 8 Posted July 8 If Grammy's want to prove that their awards aren't about hype/success but about objective quality, then Billie and Beyoncé should sweep!
Wicked Posted July 8 Posted July 8 ScHoolboy Q should be the Rap Album frontrunner. After the way Rap treated Killer Mike this year Blue Lips feels like a lock. Rap industry, critics and fans have all been singing the album praises since it dropped. Depending on what drops by August 30th he should even get an AOTY nod but that probably won't happen since they boring and basic (same goes for nominating Charli)
