The Anthology is the weaker half actually

where does it says shes crying there??
at least she didn't say she was gonna make a better album, as implying she only does it for the awards and not for the art (the better album being lover, mind you)

[dussel_06]

Nothing. Life moves on. 50 years from now, grammys will still be there and will still be relevant. She will just be in the history books to have won 5 AOTYs. Cause I don't think anyone will be touching that record for decades

Well, yeah, Beyoncé doesn't make albums. "I'm gonna change writing camps" would make more sense for her

I love The Anthology, it has some major highlights (e.g., I Hate It Here, The Prophecy, I Look In People's Windows). But the first half has a well-rounded, self-contained story. It's only for the girls and gays that get it. The Anthology, on the other hand, is more scattered and unfocused (which is not a criticism). But it has the skips of either side of the project: Robin, Thank You Aimee, and Cassandra.

doing writing camps to produce and make songs to put on a single cd... that's making an album

Nobody will take Grammys and Taylor's wins seriously anymore, as they should

[Theluckyone]

I don't think Taylor's previous wins should be negated. Fearless, 1989 and folklore were masterpieces that absolutely deserved their wins. Midnights was slightly sketchy but it wasn't a strong year as a whole, and it again cemented her place as pop's queen, so it made sense to have won AOTY. 
 

As Taylor's huge Stan, I don't think TTPD as an album is one of Taylor's best, and I don't think the Grammys would hand her another AOTY so quickly. That being said, if she does indeed win, it shouldn't negate her prior 4 AOTYs as they were all so deserving. But I'm sure the Grammys would receive backlash- and probably deservingly so, as there are stronger albums this year.

The funniest part about this is how after this she immediately said something like "I need to release better music" and then proceeded to release ME!

Yep!  The first half has a narrative running through it from start to finish and takes you through the story of it all.  Just about every song has a purpose in building and unpacking that narrative (I could do without The Alchemy though).  It feels a lot more emotionally "in the moment", whereas the second half is a bit more of a collection of songs if that makes sense...there are a few songs that definitely add context to the first half, but overall it's more reflective, has a few more "storytelling" types of songs, and songs that don't necessarily relate to the main story.

 

On my first listen I preferred the 2nd half since I'm a big folklore/evermore stan but the first half really reveals itself with repeated listens.

[MissedTheTrain]

Also!  Let's not negate Taylor's first 3 wins as they were very much deserved, and represent different imperial phases for her.  2023-now is definitely a new, bigger imperial phase for her but it's more a result of a number of things, not just one album.  That's why it felt like Midnights' win was moreso people rewarding her for a historic year, which is unfortunate because I don't think Midnights alone had the same impact or belongs in the echelon of her previous 3 AOTY wins.

I agree. The Anthology side was more instant for me. The Prophecy was the most memorable first listen for me. But, once I got over what I was expecting from Side A and got familiar with it, it warmed on me more. Side A feels like Red and Side B feels like evermore (albeit not as consistently great as evermore).

That's the one out of the 3 that I get the debate because there's a strong argument for Kendrick being who should have won, but I do think that 1989 was deserving of the title.  Either of them would have been worthy imo.

That's because Beyoncé knows her strengths and gets people to assist in making something the best it can be.

But I guess its hard to understand that if you're used to thinking any mediocre thing Taylor puts out is somehow genius.

She won't win. The Grammys' favorite, Billie Eilish, is nominated this year and we know she always sweeps. 

How can you say Billie "always sweeps" when she was nominated for seven awards in 2022 and went home empty handed? If she sweeps next year it won't have anything to do with being the "Grammy's favourite". I struggle to see how any artist could be more of a Grammy's favourite than the one who has won AOTY four times.

[The Music Industry]

ATRL would be having the funniest meltdowns 

[hawx23]

It's a better album than Midnights and some of the other nominees (like SNS) so everything would sort of work itself out. 

[Alldeezy]

Same thing that happens every year. She wins another and people will forget about it. 

 

Honestly it be nice to see someone else get AOTY for once
