Grammy 2025: Will Taylor Swift Win 0 Awards?

The 67th Annual Grammy Awards are set to take place on February 2nd, 2025. Taylor Swift is nominated in several major categories this year for her album The Tortured Poets Department, but there is speculation she may walk away empty-handed.

Swift’s Nominations

Swift is nominated for Album of the Year for The Tortured Poets Department, Record of the Year for Fortnight feat. Post Malone, Song of the Year for Fortnight, and Best Pop Vocal Album for The Tortured Poets Department. She has won Album of the Year four times previously, most recently in 2024 for Midnights, so another win would be historic.

Fierce Competition

However, Swift faces incredibly tough competition this year. Beyoncé is the frontrunner for Album of the Year with her critically acclaimed Cowboy Carter, but Charli XCX and Sabrina Carpenter have also had great years. Kendrick Lamar and Billie Eilish also pose strong threats for Record and Song of the Year, not to mention Queen Bey. And rising stars like Chappell Roan dominate several categories.

Media Predictions

According to media outlets like Rolling Stone and Billboard, Beyoncé is predicted to finally take home the Album of the Year trophy after years of being snubbed. They cite the overall strength of Cowboy Carter along with pressure for the Grammys to award a long overdue win to Beyoncé. The Telegraph also notes how controversial it would be if Swift beat Beyoncé again.

Betting odds further confirm Beyoncé as the favorite, while outlets like Range and Total Music Awards predict wins for Chappell Roan and Billie Eilish in other major categories. Overall, predictions do not favor Swift taking home any top awards.

Swift’s Chances

While Swift remains a Grammy darling, The Tortured Poets Department received a more muted critical response compared to her past albums. Her failure to earn nominations for her songs could also foreshadow trouble winning in the top categories.

Plus, after winning Album of the Year four times already, she may simply need to “lose” this year, according to Billboard. Voters seem determined to finally crown Beyoncé, so Swift beating her again would spark outrage. Losing graciously this time around may be wise to avoid backlash.

Other major snubs this year include Ariana Grande’s acclaimed album Eternal Sunshine. Despite massive chart success, including multiple #1 hits, Grande shockingly did not receive nods for Album of the Year or Record of the Year. Fans expressed outrage on social media, with many calling the snubs a “joke” and saying Grande was “robbed.” The album was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album, but its exclusion from the top categories was seen as a huge miss by critics and fans alike.

Given the competition and Beyoncé’s overdue narrative, Swift is unlikely to continue her Grammy dominance this year. While anything can happen on music’s biggest night, the odds point to Swift potentially walking away empty-handed from the 2025 Grammys. Her grace and poise under pressure will surely be on full display regardless of any wins or losses.
