Pop field might be way too crowded this year for Selena Gomez to snag some nomination love.
I donβt see a way Megan Thee Stallion doesnβt get nominated for BNA, and so long as that happens, it could absolutely be hers for the taking. Canβt think of another new artist this year thatβs made the same level of impact that she has.
Iβm somewhat excited to see the nominees. First time in a few years where we really donβt know exactly where things will land, because there were so many big hits during this eligibility period.

Rooting for Doja, her music is WAY more interesting imo

I think Megan absolutely deserves to win Best New Artist over Doja. Even my taste aside, just how Megan's been able to sustain momentum since last year and has dominated with Hot Girl summer, Savage, and WAP. Doja's hype has been floundering a bit since Say So peaked.

I donβt think Morgan Wallen will be of much competition against MTS or Doja Cat. Hell, who knows if heβll even get nominated. In terms of country acts vying for a BNA slot, I think TRA may opt to nominate someone like Mickey Guyton, Gabby Barrett, or Ingrid Andress. That, and Wallen soured his own reputation quite a bit after his disregard for COVID got him booted off of SNL a couple weeks ago.

I guess in my mind I'm seeing Doja Cat and Megan kind of at the top of the pack, but eventually having people split their votes with either of them -- with Megan having the advantage. That's where I envision Morgan coming into the picture. Did that really have much of an effect? We've seen celebrities, Megan included, partying out and about. Maybe not to the extent of Morgan's incident, but I don't see that being too much of a taint on his career or even Grammy love prospects. Although I do agree that other country options, if there has to be one, would be Gabby or Ingrid.

In any case, even if it were to be a Megan vs. Doja race (which feels far more of a Pulse-constructed narrative than what will likely happen), I donβt see Morgan Wallen being a major player in the category, should he be nominated.

I don't see how Megan would lose against Doja. "Say So" aside, they're not on the same level.

Carly Pearce is also entered in the BNA category. I could see her being the country flavor in the category as well.

I'm suprised Morgan Wallen wasn't nominated last year? His album has been out a while and Whiskey Glasses was definitely a hit in the 2020 Awards Eligibility Period

I'm really thinking that the frontrunners for wins and nominations are Abel, Taylor, Maren Morris (the committee loves her and The Bones is huge), Fiona, and possibly Dua & Gaga.

First off: What committee, the voters? the BRP? If the "committee" loved Maren Morris so much, she would have showed up in more than one category (Country Duo/Group) last year. However, maybe that was just a fluke, and the Bones will grab 4 noms, while her Highwomen work will add even more.

Tragically, we'll possibly see three post-humous albums nominated for Best Rap Album (Juice WRLD, Pop Smoke, Mac Miller). They'll probably give it to Mac just as a tribute and sorry for not giving Swimming the award.

So these are my current predictions, still may change a few. I always struggle with 1) which predicted nominee will be snubbed (I think Dua or Harry fit the mould this year) and 2) which wild cards/underdogs will be thrown in each category (Selena in song, RTJ4 in album). Will probably change my predictions as I see more publications predict, but I can't see me changing much. Album of the Year 'After Hours' - The Weeknd 'folklore' - Taylor Swift 'Fetch the Bolt Cutters' - Fiona Apple 'Hollywood's Bleeding' - Post Malone 'Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial' - Roddy Rich 'Gaslighter' - The Chicks 'RTJ4' - Run the Jewels 'Jaime' - Brittany Howard
Record of the Year 'Blinding Lights' - The Weeknd 'Don't Start Now' - Dua Lipa 'Circles' - Post Malone 'Savage' - Megan thee Stallion feat. BeyoncΓ© 'The Box' - Roddy Rich 'Adore You' - Harry Styles 'I Can't Breathe' - H.E.R 'Rockstar' - DaBaby feat. Roddy Rich
Song of the Year 'Blinding Lights' - The Weeknd 'The Bones' - Maren Morris 'I Can't Breathe' - H.E.R 'The Bigger Picture' - Lil Baby 'Lose You to Love Me' - Selena Gomez 'Lockdown' - Anderson Paak 'Circles' - Post Malone 'cardigan' - Taylor Swift

Those all seem pretty accurate, however I'd replace cardigan's SOTY nom with exile. It just seems more likely to me.

Those all seem pretty accurate, however I'd replace cardigan's SOTY nom with exile. It just seems more likely to me. I believe Taylor only submitted 'cardigan' for SoTY, and not 'exile'. I think 'exile' is a superior song lyrically, and would have been a more secure submission.

Sugar Rush I just don't want to quote the whole post lol You are correct, cardigan was the submission from Taylor's team, not exile. I also have the exact same AOTY lineup as you, though I think it's somewhat wishful thinking (The Chicks for example) I dont think ROTY will have Roddy Ricch twice, simply because if they chose Rockstar, then it would open up another artist to make it in - while still rewarding Roddy and DaBaby, though I do think both Rockstar and the Box are worthy of noms.

That's a fair assessment. I really do not know which one would get in between the two, because 'The Box' was absolutely massive but 'Rockstar' was big as well & fits well with the social movements of 2020. That being said, I firmly believe if it comes between one or another I can see 'The Box' getting in simply because I'm almost certain H.E.R will be nominated (again) and that can make NARAS check their "socially woke" box.

With 1 week left before the nominations are announced, here are my final predictions with some changes from my original early predictions post in June. (Only Big 4 Noms)
ROTY - Updated
- Dua Lipa - Don't Start Now
- The Weeknd - Blinding Lights
- Post Malone - Circles
- Roddy Ricch - The Box
- Maren Morris - The Bones
- Harry Styles - Adore You
- Megan Thee Stallion feat. BeyoncΓ© - Savage
- Doja Cat - Say So (NEW)
OUT
- Billie Eilish - Everything I Wanted
I switched Billie with Doja Cat, as I believe "Say So" is more of a ROTY nom than a SOTY nom and Billie's is more of a SOTY nom over a ROTY nom.
WINNER
- The Weeknd - Blinding Lights
The Weeknd has been nonstop this year and honestly with maybe the possibility of Posty's "Circles" or Dua's "Don't Start Now", I can't see anything stopping The Weeknd from winning this, so I am sticking with my original pick.
AOTY - Updated
- Dua Lipa - Future Nostalgia
- The Weeknd - After Hours
- Post Malone - Hollywood's Bleeding
- Lady Gaga - Chromatica
- Fiona Apple - Fetch the Bolt Cutters
- Harry Styles - Fine Line
- Taylor Swift - Folklore (NEW)
- Roddy Ricch - Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial (NEW)
OUT
- The 1975 - Notes on a Conditional Form - Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit - Reunions
Folklore was released after my original predictions were made, thus it will obviously be nominated. I replaced The 1975 and Jason Isbell with Swift, as well as Roddy Ricch, as due to the blowup of Roddy Ricch even more in the past months with the help of "Rockstar", "Walk 'Em Down" and "The Woo". As he is also not really controversial, I can't see the academy ignoring him with an AOTY nom anymore.
WINNER - Dua Lipa - Future Nostalgia
Despite wanting to pick my original winner, Fiona Apple's "FTBC", or T-Swift's "Folklore", both critical darlings, I am choosing Dua Lipa strictly cause I can't recall an album that sounds as original and like an 80's classic album together like Dua's. She mixes so many elements together that blend perfectly, it isn't too long, and it has had 2 hits off the album with "Don't Start Now" and "Break My Heart", plus a possible future third hit with "Levitating" and an international hit with "Physical". I think this album will be considered a future classic and I think many future successful artists will say this album inspired them to make music.
SOTY - Updated
- Post Malone - Circles
- Dua Lipa - Don't Start Now
- The Weeknd - Blinding Lights
- Maren Morris - The Bones
- Billie Eilish - Everything I Wanted
- Taylor Swift - Cardigan (NEW)
- Lil Baby - The Bigger Picture (NEW)
- Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande - Rain on Me (NEW)
OUT - Doja Cat - Say So - The Chicks - Gaslighter - Selena Gomez - Lose You to Love Me
"Cardigan" and "The Bigger Picture" were released after my original predictions came out. "Cardigan" is an automatic nomination and "Say So" was already moved to ROTY anyway, so this makes sense. I replaced Selena's "LYTLM" and The Chicks "Gaslighter" with Lil Baby's "TBP" and the Gaga/Grande collab "Rain on Me". "The Bigger Picture" is a wonderful protest anthem to everything that has happened in the last 6 months and I think the Grammy Academy will be under fire for not including either this, Beyonce's "Black Parade", or H.E.R.'s "I Can't Breathe". I replaced "Gaslighter" with this, as it is more relevant to now, but I wouldn't be surprised if H.E.R. or Beyonce get nominated instead. I added Rain on Me as a replacement for Selena's "LYTLM" as the academy seems to favor Grande and Gaga more than Selena in the past, plus Gaga and Grande have had bigger years than Selena, as with the exception of the Blackpink collab "Ice Cream", she has stayed relatively quiet with most of her year ending in March/April.
WINNER - Dua Lipa - Don't Start Now
This one is the hardest one to choose, but I will stick with my original pick. As much as I will want to pick T-Swift and Billie Eilish, 2 people the voters love, I think the Academy will reward the former Best New Artist with this award to go with her AOTY award. The song has everything in it that makes for a SOTY award and I think the other possible winner, "Blinding Lights", just doesn't have enough songwriting power to beat Dua Lipa.
BNA - Updated
- Doja Cat
- Megan Thee Stallion
- Summer Walker
- Rina Sawayama
- Tones and I
- Phoebe Bridgers (NEW)
- Pop Smoke (NEW)
- Blackpink (NEW)
OUT - Conan Gray - Lauv - Polo G
I think these nominations are the hardest to predict, as there are possibly 20 different artists that could get it. Morgan Wallen, Gabby Barrett, Mickey Guyton, Joji, Jack Harlow, and Rod Wave could all be here, as well as the 3 artists I replaced. While Conan Gray broke out commercially in the second half of the year, Phoebe Bridgers broke out critically with her album "Punisher" that came out after my original predictions. I think she replaces him. Lauv was kind of a last minute add, as there are plenty of artists that could be nominated, but will replace him with Pop Smoke, who will make history as the first posthumous nominated artist. He has had a huge year with his album exploding and having 4 big hits this year. He makes more sense. Lastly, even if this could be controversial due to BTS not being nominated before, as well as not having any Asian acts be nominated before this, I truly believe Blackpink has an honest chance due to finally releasing a full studio album in the second half of the year. They have had collabs with huge artists such as Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez and Cardi B and have had huge YouTube viewing numbers. Therefore, I replaced Polo G with them. I don't know if they can win, but I think they have a solid chance at being nominated.
WINNER Megan Thee Stallion
While the noms are very hard to pick, the winner is easy to choose. My original pick was Doja Cat, but since my original post, she has had some controversial comments and actions. Mixing this with working with Dr. Luke and vouching for him saying that he isn't that bad, and I think she may now miss out. Therefore, it is an easy pick for me: Megan Thee Stallion. She has had more success this year than anyone and is very well liked. (While I think Megan is a shoe-in, I would love Summer Walker to win so she could get revenge for not getting that number one album with "Over It". Still feel for her on that.)
That being said, these are my final predictions.

I plan on making my predictions within the next couple days and I have to say, I don't think I've seen this many potential challengers in at least ten years or more. Recent years have been tough to predict because it didn't feel like there were enough songs to fill the spots. This year, there's so many. Most of the predictions posted here so far don't seem off at all and many of them only have a few that overlap in each category - plus you know the Grammys are going to throw something out of left field in the way of a Moses Sumney, Sarah Jarosz, Katie Pruitt, or, oh, idk, Pink Sweat$? Sondre Lerche? Someone COMPLETELY random.

As far as more mainstream releases go, I think Billboard had some great reasoning behind their picks, especially for Album of the Year and Song of the Year. I just think they severely underestimated "Don't Start Now". There's no way "HIGHEST IN THE ROOM" is getting a ROTY nomination over it - in my opinion, at least.

^She did get two unexpected wins a couple years ago. AOTY is not a lock by any means but at the very least DSN should appear on one of the song categories.
I think Taylor will show up on the two album categories where the project is eligible, but the album is far bigger than any of the songs so I don't think "cardigan" will get much love.
I'm a little curious about the few Selena Gomez mentions on this thread. I like her and the song but she completely faded into obscurity a few months ago. Promotion is key. I really thought she deserved it back in the day with Revival on Pop Album over Demi's album that got the nomination instead.

Manifesting the well-deserved love for Dua Lipa and Maren Morris.
I also want Gaga to at least snatch a nomination or two (maybe AOTY & ROTY) in the Big 4, but considering how she literally has done absolutely nothing to promote this entire era except for the VMAs...I will not be surprised at all if she's given zero love except in the Pop fields.
