The Grammy Awards Thread

Taylor beating Stevie, Paul Simon and Frank Sinatra’s record is beyond ridiculous. I am beyond livid rn

lets have a toast to the billionaire winning more

No, Jay-Z's award was an honorary one

Like, if she had won for a better album I'd be okay with it but Midnights was her weakest album in a while and that category had a slew of great choices

Midnights was definitely mid by Swift standards. But yeah, not surprised. Sigh.

Well, I guess the haters really will hate on here.

Damn straight I will

She has won AOTY 4 times and only 2 of them were worthy

I mean I like Taylor a ton but Midnights was super uneven by Taylor standards.

Maybe the Academy wanted to stay in the good graces of Joe Biden, the NFL, and the CIA.

The only AOTY nominee I enjoyed more than Midnights was Guts, so overall I'm not all that upset that Taylor won.

I felt like Olivia was feeling like Jesse Pinkman did about Walter White always getting away with things. Personally, I wanted Lana to win but it was cool that Taylor brought Lana up both as a contributor to her album and someone who inspired her. I enjoy Taylor winning because right wing media will hate it.

im not even a hater.. i like all too well and teardrops on my guitar and back to December and plenty of other taylor songs pre 1989 (and don't worry I like the songs I heard from folklore)... but it still feels like the richer getting richer for less effort

I’ve gone up and done with her over the years. Loved her when she first started and agree with Fearless winning, and Folklore is in my top 5 album of the 2020s but this is just ridiculous. He level of fame and praise are just way beyond what she deserves

i could probably make the case that fearless shouldn't have beat gaga that year tbh

speak now or red... then i'd be talking

but not fearless

I mean you say that but she owned music last year with this album, her re-released albums, and her tour. It was the year of Taylor. If the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, it looks like 2024 may continue that reign.

But being famous doesn’t mean the actual music was good. Just because she is huge doesn’t mean she’s better than the other nominees. If it was about her level of fame then say that but that’s not what I want it to be about
