I think there's a very high chance that Billie Eilish will win Record & Song. I'm no longer fully sold on the "this is a Taylor vs. Dua Lipa" showdown. "Savage" has a real strong shot at Record, too.
I truly have no idea which direction Album will go. I also think stan Twitter/stan Pulse may be severely downplaying the possibility of a Harry Styles win in either (/both?) of the Pop categories. Look no further than Ed Sheeran from a few years ago, who beat out Gaga/Kesha/Pink/Kelly Clarkson/etc., as an example of what I think could happen again tonight.

I love Billie and that song but I hope she doesn't sweep. First of all is "everything i wanted" a song that you're gonna hear that's gonna take you back to 2020?
And my baby doesn't deserve the backlash that's gonna come for her if they reward her so much twice in a row.

Awkward AF stuff from the premiere ceremony - Jim West, who won Best New Age album (and who has been Weird Al Yankovic's guitarist for 40 years?!!), having his mic muted for his whole speech - Whoever accepted for the Linda Ronstadt movie getting the two directors of the movie confused and accidentally calling Rob Epstein "Jeffrey" instead - Bill Burr - The Strokes standing around not realizing they won for nearly a minute and then spraying ginger ale on each other. - Chick Corea's wife (former Mahavishnu Orchestra keyboardist Gayle Moran, an important jazz fusion musician in her own right) mentioning her late husband's lifelong devotion to Scientology with an L. Ron Hubbard shoutout.

(vent incoming)
So the BTS Army on Twitter are collectively losing their minds lol
I posted something to this extent in the Pulse discord server but the BTS stans really need to calm down regarding Dynamite losing to ROM. I get being disappointed, but throwing temper tantrums like a petulant five year old (I've seen videos of them crying over it) and throwing around racism / xenophobia accusations is ridiculous. Especially when there's actual reasons the Grammys and the music industry as a whole are racist and should be criticized (like how black artists are pigeonholed into making "urban" music and how POC artists are consistently shut out of nominations), calling the Grammys racist for not giving your favorite artist a meaningless award on sales alone feels really unnecessary and immature.

I had a feeling BTS weren't going to win because Pop Duo/Group wasn't being televised.
It was a very different circumstance because it was for an ordinarily much lower profile award than Pop Duo/Group, but in 2016, I knew Hamilton was going to win Best Musical Theater Album because that award had almost never been televised beforehand and that was at the height of Hamilton-mania.

I agree, they would've televised Pop Duo/Group if "Dynamite" was going to win. It's a good song and I think it even warranted a ROTY nod but I think "Rain on Me" is better.

I'm sorry but BTS stans pointing to the song's streams and chart success are, respectfully, stupid and don't know shit. This is not the Billboard Music Awards. Pack it up.
I am happy for "Dynamite"s success and glad it became a true hit for them, but it's not a good song & the Recording Academy isn't made up of 13 year-old stans.

Mickey not winning for Country Solo really pisses me off. They could’ve made real change but yet awarded another white man. Someone come get these hands 😂

I have learned that paying attention to stan twitter, particularly K-Pop stans is useless lol. They fabricate their own narratives (BTS LOST BC RACISM), believe 56 fan voted awards entitle their fave for Grammys and there's no way anyone is gonna change their mind, so why bother.

Gaga's track record with the Pop categories is really good (remember Joanne??? Somehow deemed the best pop recording of that year???), but I hope Chromatica doesn't win. Dua delivered, Taylor delivered, Justin is there... You know what Justin is there, so I will cheer for Chromatica if the alternative is that soccer mom attempt at R&B. Chromatica would be a bad winner for PVA

I genuinely believe all K Pop fans have some form of mental health disorder that is manifested when things don't go their way.
You can't even comment right now that Ari/Gaga deserved the award without having 10+ fans accusing you of being racist.
Is it that hard for them to comprehend that 'Dynamite'is nothing but a generic, uninteresting, radio song? They should just be happy that it was nominated.

True, but for how many years have we had people like Lenny Beer/Paul Grein/insert music writer making the same basic argument and referencing commercial success in their predictions and features (I'm sure we all remember the writing surrounding The 20/20 Experience). Even with The Weeknd/Blinding Lights, there were just as many people saying it deserved to be honored because it was the BIGGEST SONG as there were saying it was the BEST. Too many confusing narratives around what matters here, so I can't blame fans for jumping on the "hit" narrative. To the point below, I can blame anyone who goes too far in reacting to a perceived award snub.

Yeah, I’ve seen screenshots of BTS stans giving death threats to Lady Gaga and calling her fans the F slur... I know most of them are children but there’s no age at which that is appropriate. I really wish Twitter was 18+ sometimes lol

Dua and Taylor are the obvious frontrunners but Harry and Gaga are definitely contenders.

Current predictions/hopes for the General Field:
Record of the Year: Any between "Don't Start Now", "Circles", "Savage", or "ROCKSTAR" would make me happy. "Blinding Lights" was the definitive winner for me, but any of those four would be excellent choices.
I'm only actively rooting against "Say So" due to the producer attached.
Song of the Year: I really hope any between "cardigan", "everything I wanted", and "I Can't Breathe" win. All amazing compositions. But we know the Grammys like their boring sweeps, so it's likely whoever wins ROTY will be winning this one too...
As for Album of the Year, Jhene's losses aren't looking too good for her prospects, so I'm currently betting on either Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa or HAIM. Coldplay or Black Pumas could pull an upset, especially the former given how the Academy might want to award a wronged veteran (like they did with Nas on Best Rap Album). I thought Jacob Collier could be a strong contender given the love he gets within the industry, but the fact he's not even getting a performance is alarming. Finally, I want to believe Post Malone has zero chance to win, as he's the one I'm actively rooting against (because the backlash would be vile, and stans don't know how to target the out of touch institution, so all the hate would be thrown at him).

Not with Future Nostalgia there, and with less-pop-but-still-better Fine Line and Folklore there
