Meh, I can name many songs that won that I find way more dreadful in just SOTY alone lol. But I respect your differing opinion. I’d have to go through the list to see if my comment actually holds weight tbh but “Daughters” has always been terrible to me. John has some good songs. That isn’t one of them. It's probably up there, though I'm sure some of that depends on preference. I find "You light Up My Life" to be a pretty banal song, but some people probably love it. "Don't Worry Be Happy" is pretty cloying to me. Something like U2's "Sometimes You Can't Make it On Your Own" or Bonnie Raitt's "Just Like That" aren't necessarily bad, but when you consider that no one really knows the songs and they were up against some classic songs, the wins themselves are pretty bad.

Oh I just meant I hate the song, not that it's undeserving.

Gaga coming for that Rock Album Grammy to complement her variations in genres.

Beyonce seems like a shoo-in for AOTY. If ‘Cowboy Carter’ doesn’t get her AOTY, then I’m convinced nothing will.
Taylor will most likely be nominated for AOTY but I doubt she’ll win since she won her fourth AOTY last year. I can see this being a folklore/evermore situation like the 2021/2022 awards (folklore wins, so evermore won’t). Plus, I doubt the Grammys would wanna deal with the hell if she won her fifth AOTY over Beyonce.
Ariana seems poised to get an AOTY nomination too. Her album has held up well on streaming, it’s a safe pop album, and it has two number one hits.
As for songs, I think all three aforementioned could be nominated in ROTY and/or SOTY along with Greedy, Lovin’ On Me, Beautiful Things, Saturn, Too Sweet. I’d like to see Houdini get a Pop Solo nom but we’ll have to see. And I’m guessing Water and Lose Control were released too soon to be nominated?
We have Grammy darling Billie releasing soon so we’ll have to see how her album turns out.
And I could see Olivia getting nominations in the Pop categories.

I don't think the winning album has even been released yet, but I don't see a world where Taylor and Beyonce are not nominated.

wjr15 , "Water" was nominated last year and won("Best African Music Performance"). Maybe her album can catch a nom, or another song off the album if it blows up.(They are letting "Truth or Dare" float rn😪)

I feel like St. Vincent is one to look out for. She's getting great notices this go round and her last three albums have all brought home a Grammy in the alternative/rock categories. This seems like the perfect year for her to cross over into a main category.
