^Yes. I also didn't list any country acts. And wouldn't be surprised if they sneak in Bad Bunny or J Balvin or someone, despite not nominating them in the general field.

I assume if a big name, who isn't nominated and releases new music in January, might get a performance spot too.

That would be a pretty excellent line-up, though I wonder if anyone might boycott the ceremony this year.

I’m all for Black Is King being nominated and winning Best Long Form; however, they are killing that mess with Black Parade and those ridiculous nominations. The most Beyoncé should have gotten this year was four (Savage for ROTY and Rap Song, Brown Skin Girl for Best Music Video and the one win I mentioned earlier). I don’t get this ass kissing for her right now. It’s strange. This year really is puzzling as it relates to Beyonce, though maybe it's because her work tied into what was going on culturally and NARAS wanted to see supportive? Even so, give "Black Parade" a random SOTY nod and call it a day. It's just so wild to me as I can't remember any other artist sustaining their love to this extent. The Grammy love for Alicia Keys died off fairly quickly ("No One" didn't get any general field noms for instance), Ed Sheeran got shut out of general field noms for his third album, etc. When Beyonce releases her next studio album will the love continue, or will she basically be shut out as they dry up their love? To be fair, when 4 happened people thought the Grammys were going to cool on Beyoncé (she only got two nominations for it, not even an album nomination). However, when she returned with Self Titled, the narrative around her changed completely. She really did start receiving the legend treatment (which is something a lot of her contemporaries were never really able to achieve). I think it also helps that the Grammys like nominating legends, I can see her having a Grammy history similar to a lot of 80's legends who would constantly get nominations in the mid 2000's, especially since her last two AOTY losses were heavily publicized and criticized. I mean, at the end of the day the Grammys keep losing relevance, they really need to do something. Because at this point they're the least respected of the EGOT awards.

In terms of country acts, I’d guess performances from Miranda Lambert, Maren Morris, and, god willing (esp. given the significance of her nomination), Mickey Guyton. I’d also imagine some sort of John Prine tribute — wouldn’t shock me in the slightest to see Kacey Musgraves, Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell, Amanda Shires, or Margo Price involved in that.

I hope Don't Start Now for Record Of The Year, Circles for Song Of The Year and Future Nostalgia for Album Of The Year, Watermelon Sugar for Pop Solo, Rain On Me for Pop Duo/Group Performance and Fine Line for Pop Album but all of these happening is very unlike because I think Taylor won't be snubbed and Grammys tend to give everything to one person Honestly, this is how I can see things going except they’ll give SOTY to Cardigan instead of Circles. Taylor has never won one of the song awards and folklore to me is certainly her most album-driven era. None of the songs shone above the album itself this time around. I think that works against "cardigan" (and although it went #1, it's certainly one of the least popular nominees).

It’s clear simply by the nominees the Grammys do not care about popularity this year.

y'all constantly put "deserve or not" all based on just chart success. that's also big problem. lol

If they wanted to nominate a Julia Michaels composition so badly, "Lose You To Love Me" was right there.
It probably wouldn't have much chances of winning, but it's a shame the most consistently successful out of the Disney ex-acts has yet to receive a Grammy nomination. "Revival" definitely deserved a nod for Best Pop Album, at least.

I don't know if "Midnight Sky" was eligible but that would have been a strong choice for a Pop Song nomination (and a much bigger artistic achievement than LYTLM tbh, success aside).

^ Yes, “Midnight Sky” was eligible and submitted to ROTY, SOTY, and Pop Solo. There is no Pop Song category, though.

It's never gonna happen, but just imagine Kacey singing "Burn One With John Prine" as a tribute 🔥

That’s absolutely embarrassing. And during a pandemic, no less, to tell their own pre-ceremony host to fend for herself is just...unfathomable.

I an wondering if they have always done it this way and this is the first time someone is speaking up about it, or if they are actually requiring her and only her to do this.

Does Taylor dropping Evermore while voting is going on have any impact on Folklore's chance of winning?
(like from a personal point of view, I think i would struggle to vote for Folklore for the best album when she just dropped an album that was EVEN BETTER)

If anything, dropping evermore will keep her name on the voters' minds.
