So, heartbeat is unlikely to win against those songs but does she have a shot for best pop vocal with 1989 as a contender?

I mean, if it's based on quality of vocal, there's no contest between Kelly and Taylor - but I don't think anyone is stupid enough to believe that's how voting works. At the same time I'm surprised to see her there at all, so perhaps she does stand a chance.

Can we consider Kelly a Grammy darling yet? No adele, alicia keys, beyonce.. They are grammy darling. Kelly has 3. kelly has been one of their go to pop girl tho. Aside from my december (when hers were submitted to rock categories), her studio albums have picked up at least 1 nom in pop field. on the country side, surprisingly BOY w reba and DYWS w jason aldean went home empty handed omg congrats kelly n PBP, so unexpected!! Its already a win for this project to get nominated. Yay!!!!

Both times Kelly has won Best Pop Vocal Album, she's been up against Album Of The Year contenders, so stranger things have happened...
ETA: Granted, Breakaway and Stronger also had a lot more going for them...

I didn't even check nominations when I first woke up because I just didn't care. Then I got curious to see who got nominated. It never even crossed my mind that Kelly would pick up a nomination. Incredible!! I think her best shot is in the Album category. It will be hard going up against Swift but she has been a favorite in this category for a while and is the only artist to ever win Pop Album more than once. If they are trying to spread out awards like it seemed they did a few years ago, Kelly could get lucky. At the same time, they may not want her winning a 3rd Album so quickly. I am just thrilled with the nominations.

I don't think she can win but the nominations are great. I hope it helps with sales a bit.

KELLY!!!
Since she's won Pop Album twice, I can see how she might get nominated and noticed for her work as a whole. I would KILL for Kelly to be well enough/not too pregnant to perform that piano Piece By Piece. That song would wreck the grammys and hopefully get Piece By Piece the song nominated for stuff next year (I mean, if Heartbeat Song can whip out a Pop Vocal nom, Piece By Piece should be able to as well haha)
But... Heartbeat Song Being nominated with Blank Space, Love Me Like You Do, Thinking Out Loud, and Can't Feel My Face is just baffling to me since it's nowhere near the level of those songs.

She's not on the Beyoncé, Alicia Keys or even Carrie Underwood level of academy-recognition to be called a Grammy darling, but she's got a hell of respect and I couldn't be more proud and excited about it. Look at the competition for Pop Solo, all other four songs were monster hits and she effortlessly got a nomination with an underperforming single. It's a really difficult year, specially going against Taylor, but I doubt any of us expected Stronger to win, so we'll see how it goes down.
Cheers for our 12 times Grammy nominated girl.

Legitimately laughed out loud at the Heartbeat Song nomination. I don't know if she's just a Grammy darling now or if RCA went balls-to-the-wall for her as part of their campaign to re-sign her. The PxP nomination is amazing and unreal, though. Queen of Nominations. Even ha flop eras get noticed.

I'm annoyed/ashamed at myself to admit it but these nominations suddenly give this era a rosy glow. It all seemed so dark and almost embarrassing but now I'm blasting TYH with pride.

As surprised and delighted with the nominations as everyone. Though, thinking about it now, what are the "snubs" in the Pop Vocal Album category? I can't think of a glaring one, so her inclusion there--especially given her history--actually isn't that surprising. I think the absence of energy and success of the era has soured us a bit, but I still think the album is among her strongest. And while "Heartbeat Song" is basically a useless song for Kelly Clarkson to record at this point in her career if it isn't going to be a huge hit, I have always liked it for what it was--catchy, cute pop fluff. Would have been better suited as one of the new tracks on her GH album, though.
With a #1, Grammy-nominated album, I think she's in a great spot for the next phase of her career in terms of striking an ideal contract. Yeah, the album didn't perform well, but at this point you could almost use it as a positive: Here was an album that sort of came and went without a hit or great sales, and it was still #1 and still nominated for two Grammy's. It shows her respect and staying power in the industry, and the 1-2-3 success of Stronger, Greatest Hits, and Wrapped In Red shows that she still has the potential for solid sales.
Even if she weren't ready to give birth, a Grammy performance wouldn't seem too likely to me (she "only" got a tribute slot when she was nominated for four, including two of the "Big Four,"), and that's fine by me. These nominations are a nice injection of positivity into this era, and she should rest and recover her voice and find some much-needed inspiration for whatever her next album is.

Damn, girl. Didn't expect anything this year, and she walked out with 2 noms! I don't know if a win is likely considering the competition she's up against, but I also never expected her to crack the final list of nominations, so who knows!

YAS! I am so surprised by the Best Pop Vocal Album nom but it is so well deserved! Wow, she dominates that category! So many of her albums have been nominated for that award!

Up against Florence again, just like at the 2013 Grammy's. :'( Also, poor Carly and Emotion. No respect.
When Stronger won, I imagine a lot of popular acts split the vote, and she snuck in as a dark horse. The category this year is basically built for 1989 to get 95% of all the votes.

Ot. Did anyone really expect carly rar jepsen to get noms?
Getting recognized for her flop project really speaks volume. Im not expecting a win, but i couldnt be more proud of these 2 noms. She's up against people who r up in general categories like taylor and the weekend, but SUBG did beat out gwen HBG, breakaway beat out LAMB, adele's set fire to the rain beat out kelly's stronger, weird things have happened before. Im just trying not to get my hopes up, its very hard tho lol i want her to win pop album since adele 25 will collect her 2nd best pop album with vocal next year and would equal kelly 2 wins

I could see her maybe taking Pop Vocal Album, if only because Swift has plenty of other categories to win.
But I don't think "Heartbeat Song" stands a chance against "Thinking Out Loud" or "Blank Space" for Pop Vocal Performance. Still, surprised and thrilled that she managed to land multiple nominations. As poignant as a "Piece By Piece" performance would be, she should definitely take the time off to rest for her vocal health and pregnancy's sake. It will make her eventual comeback in 2016/2017 that much more anticipated.

It gives the Grammy's the best of both worlds, plus we get to see the meltdowns of the century on Twitter. Kelly will remain unbothered, pregnant, and ready for her next Grammy-nominated project.

I didn't expect anything about Grammy nominations at all!!! This is a really surprising news to us. I don't like Heartbeat Song and Piece By Piece album but she still deserves it!
All I Ever Wanted lost its Best Pop Vocal Album against the Black Eyed Peas's The E.N.D (Energy Never Dies) so it seems to be so hard to win this category.
However, I'll make my fingers crossed! : )

Not too surprised about the album being nominated, she's a favorite in that category, so I expected at least a nomination. "Heartbeat Song," on the other hand. Now that's a surprise!

Heartbeat Song is amazing and one of her best songs, I am not at all surprised at the nomination. :) She has really tough competition but it's really nice to see her recognized regardless of the underwhelming performance of both the nominees.

Ive been reading some music boards online. Kelly's noms are getting people so MAD!! Haha. I kindda take pleasure from reading all those press souls crying for debi lovato, carly rae, selena gomez etc. These younger pop stars aside from taylor are obviously not there yet. 1 big obvious snub for me is Fight Song by Rachel P. I was so sure Fight Song would take a spot on best pop vocal performance and even Song of the year. That song was huge this year!! Very happy for Love Me Like You Do, if HBS has to loose (which it will), i hope ellie takes it. But lets be real, Blank Space will prolly take this one.
Im also secretly hoping the weekend or ed S will spoil taylor swift's sweep this year. AOTY noms are so strong, 1989 is not a lock yet!

Everyone seems to be excited by Grammy nominations! It's a great honor of two nominations at the same time. This is a proof that she's still on top of pop field! Good.
Hope to watch a ballad version of Piece By Piece but I cannot see that she performs on grammy stage because of her 2nd pregnancy.

buried alive from that card. Also, if they're planning on naming their kid Winter, that is clever.
