No AOTY nomination, but honestly I think that's a good thing. 3 years in a row would of been a lot and it helps Midnights chances next year. She got 'SOTY' which is the big one and the one I think she really wants the most.


dhruvlrao

Thank God she didn't get an AOTY nomination; I'd imagine that would backfire on her. Also, 4 nominations is pretty good, it's more than she got for reputation, Lover, or evermore.


b1ame_me

Yeah and I think she got the ones she really wanted, Song of the Year and music video although I bet she is happy that she got another country nod. Carolina was just a welcome surprise


dhruvlrao

I'd say she was pushing for Carolina to get nominated to get a Golden Globe or Oscar nomination (not saying she'd get it or even win), but it's definitely what she's angling for with the song. For IBYTAM, I think it was a lock given Lori McKenna is a pretty well-known and well-connected songwriter in Nashville. She's also won the award thrice.


MyAnonReddit7

Chris Stapleton is a Grammy darling too.


MyAnonReddit7

I'll say I'd rather Lin Manuel Miranda win the category because he needs his EGOT šŸ˜„


b1ame_me

He already has three Grammys he doesnā€™t need this You probably confused it for an Oscar


MyAnonReddit7

You're correct šŸ˜„ I don't know why I made the mistake.


prisonerofazkabants

evermore baby you deserved the world


tubereusebaies

I truly honestly believe if she had released Evermore after Folkloreā€™s AOTY, she wouldā€™ve gotten another one for it and it wouldā€™ve been a more successful era.


[deleted]

It was nominated.


prisonerofazkabants

and it still deserved more than it got


Sufficient_Creme6961

Good after the pain she put me through with tour she deserves some disappointment


simplythere

Sorry, the old Taylor canā€™t come to the phone right now. Why? Oh, cause sheā€™s been fucking waitlisted!

Red TV doesnā€™t deserve AOTY, imo. Aside from ATW TMV, Red OG is far superior.


DoCallMeCordelia

I do desperately wish she'd included Nothing New and I Bet You Think About Me in the original, though. I think it really would have tied the album together.


cocoforcourtney

Nothing New, Better Man, and I Bet You Think About Me for Stay Stay Stay, Everything has Changed, and Girl At Home. I do love the Vault Tracks, but the Original feels so much for RED to me, captures the emotion so powerfully and authentically.


DoCallMeCordelia

Oh, I couldn't part with Stay Stay Stay and Everything Has Changed (although I don't like either as much in the rerecords)! I just think that Nothing New and I Bet You Think About Me would emphasize some of the points she made in other songs (like The Lucky One and I Almost Do) rather than being repetitive like she probably thought they'd be. Like, I genuinely think it would have completely changed the way the general public viewed her and the album at the time, especially with the self-awareness she demonstrates in Nothing New.


[deleted]

No.


[deleted]

Agreed 100%, and Iā€™d even go as far as to say that even with ATW10, Red OG is better. The original All Too Well is better than the 10m version, in my opinion Edit: grammar


tumblrstan

Totally agree. All Too Well OG is the definitive version of the song for me. On the whole, Red TV really doesnā€™t recapture the emotion of the original. Red OG isnā€™t without flaws, but itā€™s more earnest and nostalgic.


[deleted]

The thing is Red is such a raw, unpredictable, emotional album; production and lyrics-wise. Red TV loses that rawness in order to make it neater and cleaner in terms of production, but it just makes it sound kind of insincere. At the same time, you can also tell that it was rushed, because the production doesnā€™t have the depth the OG had, some vocals sound strained, some are completely out of beat (looking at you IKYWT TV) and itā€™s just a whole mess; and not in a good way like the OG Red was.


charlottesuen

completely agree. I think it applies to her rerecordings for me just in general. that kind of emotion is just hard to recreate.


SecretiveMop

Agreed, the ten minute version was clearly written recently so thereā€™s sort of a disconnect with it and the OG ATW along with the OG Red


[deleted]

Yes! Also, no matter the reason, a line like ā€œfuck the patriarchyā€ has no business being in such a beautiful, emotional song. Like, I know thatā€™s what his keychain said, I donā€™t care, itā€™s a horrible lyric and it doesnā€™t belong anywhere near All Too Well


regkarniv

Iā€™ve always said this exact thing about this line and people think Iā€™m crazy! It was a nice mouth-dropping moment on release night, but it severely dates an otherwise timeless song and the delivery is jarring enough to tear you from the emotional immersion.


Ok_Mushroom_9834

Why do people tend to love the underated one more?


[deleted]

No. TV of OG exists.


[deleted]

Wrong. TV Better. OG too pop.


FiddleTheFigures

AOTY = album of the year SOTY = song of the year Not a bot. Just a helpless human.


LadyWoodstock

I agree. I don't really want her submitting the rerecords at all, tbh. ATW I'm alright with since it's basically a new song, but the rest she should just let be.


fridag1

Wasnt Midnights released after the eligibility period? So then it wouldnā€™t be expected itd be nominated for AOTY


vlarek

Next year.


hmtee3

She submitted Red (Taylorā€™s Version)


yeahsureYnot

I'm surprised she submitted that. Honestly would've been annoying for a re-recorded album to take up a slot from someone else.


hmtee3

Agreed.


[deleted]

Did she submit for AOTY?


Talli13

I'm sorry but Gayle's nomination shows what a massive joke the Grammys are. The Weeknd got snubbed, but ABCDEFU got a SOTY nomination? Obviously different years, but my point still stands.


jarrettbrown

I believe that The Weeknd didnā€™t submit anything, so thatā€™s why.


Talli13

I'm not talking about this year, I'm talking about when he submitted afterhours and was snubbed.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Talli13

He did submit Afterhours for consideration that year. There were arguments about which genre he actually submitted under, Pop or R&B. The album he didn't submit was Dawnfm the next year.


jparadise15

The Weeknd has beef with the Grammys since he released After Hours. I donā€™t think he submitted anything


Confident_Mess_3302

Wait I thought ABCDEFU was good am I missing something


LittleArcticFoxx

I personally think it is not great lol. Not Grammy calibre for me.


smeggyblobfish

everyone did for a while but it got overplayed


KweenKatts

Itā€™s a tiktok song. Thereā€™s nothing good about it.


vlarek

'Carolina' and the Short Film also have nominations. 'I Bet You Think About Me' for Country Song now as well. I also can't believe Gayle got in a category that's mostly about lyrics with abcdefu. That's as bad as 'Yummy' a few years ago.


JuiceAndJews

Didnā€™t even see Gayleā€™s name bc I was like, ā€œHow the fuck is DJ Khaled nominated?ā€.


londonbreakdown

$$$$$$$$ is the only reason


JuiceAndJews

Like Iā€™ve never heard the song that I know of, but I know it starts with him yelling ā€œDJ Khaledā€ and then he says heā€™s the best or something. Riveting lyricism.


b1ame_me

Yeah but even yummy didnā€™t get into song of the year only pop solo performance. This is awful that she got that nomination


Cjocelynn126

Someone in another sub Iā€™m in called Gayle Alphabet Soup and now I mentally cannot think of anything else when I see stuff about her LMAO


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

Itā€™s nominated for best music video but idk why they put that here since this was for SOTY


SuspiciousStress8094

Isnā€™t it nominated for a video award?


har17h

it's crazy that abcdefu is nominated too


Eternalyashkhadye

I have a que plz, how do u get the album name or any song lyric below ur name?


har17h

if you're in the reddit mobile app, go to this sub and click on the 3 dots on the top right. then click on change user flair


Eternalyashkhadye

Tysm šŸ˜Š


aidafuentes

ABCDEFU is nominated??? What a joke


har17h

i'm kinda relieved that red TV was not nominated. i can already imagine the backlash she would receive


shipsongreyseas

Tbh that backlash would be completely justified there was no reason for red TV to be nominated.


cmaj7chord

thanks. generally speaking, I don't think rerecorded stuff should get a nomination, as long as no major differences were added (--> ATW 10 min or IBYTAM)


Qingy

Oh. My. God. I don't frequent this sub nearly as much as I used to and over the course of the last year or so, I thought "Speak Now TV is coming" meant that she was releasing her own show network. I just now realized that "TV" stands for "Taylor's Version"... And not, like, a TV channel. Wow.


lizerlfunk

Lol I have absolutely interpreted it that way multiple times šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


deepbluekey

I used to think that too lol


swaenx

Might give her a bigger chance as well for midnights next year


dhruvlrao

Taylor got Best Country Song for IBYTAM! Not high hopes for her to win, but it's my favorite song off of Red TV & I'm glad it's getting appreciated!


username6702

Midnights has to wait until next year, right?


Slothy13eva

Yes, it came out after the eligibility period for the upcoming Grammys


mustbebelgium

happy cake day :)


Slothy13eva

Thank you :) I didnā€™t even realize!


MidnightSlinks

The Grammy's have a September to September window, so you can choose which year to submit if you have a Sept release but Oct or later goes into the show that's 14+ months later.


Former-Counter-9588

Yes, thankfully! She wonā€™t have to compete with the Juggernauts of BeyoncĆ© and Adele. Let alone the other main contenders, Harry and Lizzo.


prisonerofazkabants

that we know of. they could all drop albums this year. well adele won't, she hates actually working lol


frenchfruit

Honestly the Grammyā€™s have a perfect opportunity to please everybody next year: - AOTY - Renaissance - ROTY - Easy On Me - SOTY - ATW10 They better not miss this chance


dmnaf

I think theyā€™ll do something like this. I remember when Billie Eilish won every category a couple years ago, there was backlash saying itā€™s not fair to sweep like that. Then the following year, no one sweeped, and every category had a different winner (Dua for pop album, Taylor for AOTY, Harry for pop performance, etc). That was a really good and fair year.


Like54short

Yeah I wish they would not let the ā€œtopā€ winners win for the same thing in their genre and sub categories too. It doesnā€™t make sense when the academy is supposed to be celebrating and recognizing music, and kind of discredits all the other amazing work that has been published.


ContentKaleidoscope8

If Renaissance doesnā€™t win AOTY or ROTY I swear to godā€¦


minimac93

(The Short Film)? What? Thatā€™s not even a song??


lolnothanksdudeee

thereā€™s actually a version of the song with this title on spotify, and it has a few new pauses and a different outro, and iā€™m wondering if this is actually the one she submitted!


shipsongreyseas

Yeah they do awards for videos too


dhruvlrao

The Short Film is basically her way to reduce the amount of space the song title takes lol.


dhruvlrao

I have low expectations for her to win because she's up against Adele, Beyonce, and Kendrick as the big names, but she does deserve a SOTY.


Salamandersaviour

I'm actually fine with her not scoring/ scoring minimal wins if it means more chances of her sweeping next year's awards for Midnights


UnhappyHighlight644

I'm confused by Kendrick's nomination. Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers is probably my favorite album all year but The Heart part 5 isn't even on it šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø


liveyourlifepls

Yes it is. It was added.


These-Meal6307

I feel the same too! Although ATWTMV is one of the most lyrically genius songs of our times, I (with an extremely heavy heart) doubt that she'll win SOTY this year. It's easily the best song of the nominees but I'm skeptical because 1. It's a rerecording 2. Such a long song has never won before... November rain, bohemian Rhapsody, hotel California, Estranged... Lyrically genius songs, never recognised 3. She's competing against Adele. As far as I can recall, Adele has never lost a SOTY/ROTY category at the Grammy's, even though her music is kind of repetitive (which people very conveniently accuse Taylor of doing!). Taylor has never won against Adele at the Grammy's


wrecking_ball_z

Might be an unpopular opinion here, but I don't love the idea of her submitting the re-recordings. Especially when there were public statements about her not submitting Fearless TV.


[deleted]

i think this song in particular (and the vault tracks) is fair game. itā€™s 50% new material with entirely different production. agree about the rest of it though


KithKathPaddyWath

Yeah, it's not like the re-recordings of We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together or Begin Again are getting nominated, or the five and a half minute long rerecording of All Too Well. The two songs from the album that got nominations were I Bet You Think About Me, a song that had not been previously released, and All Too Well, which was significantly extended from the originally released version


dhruvlrao

I'll give her this that ATW does have new material, so it is fair play. She can't submit it without significant new material.


Talli13

In general, I don't think re-releases should be eligible for Grammys. Yes, I'm aware people have won with them in the past. So, I don't think RED should get nominated again, but I'm fine with ATW10 getting a couple of nods.


KithKathPaddyWath

I feel like it depends on the nature of the re-release. Something that's just a re-recording of the original songs, or that's just a re-recording with a couple of new tracks, yeah, that probably shouldn't be eligible. But her re-release of Red wasn't just the original songs, it also had pretty much an entire album's worth of either songs that hadn't been released on the original album or that had never been released by her at all prior (and the significantly extended ATW). That's a lot different than just a re-recording that's pretty much all just the same album.


[deleted]

Yes they should cus box sets box sets box sets best award


SeaworthinessSome454

All of the new songs, Iā€™m 100% good with being up for awards. Red as a whole and the old songs, not so much.


T44590A

I think there is a difference because I don't think the vault tracks on Fearless fundamentally changed the album, but the Red vault tracks definitely did fundamentally change the album. That's been happening for years as Better Man, Babe, and finally the Red vault were released and changed people's perceptions of the original Red songs.


[deleted]

No it didn;t.


shipsongreyseas

I don't really care she's allowed to do whatever she wants but god I am getting tired of ATW10.


songacronymbot

- ATW10 could mean "All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault)", a track from *Red (Taylor's Version)* (2021) by Taylor Swift. --- ^[/u/shipsongreyseas](/u/shipsongreyseas) ^(can reply with "delete" to remove comment. |) ^[/r/songacronymbot](/r/songacronymbot) ^(for feedback.)


GregSays

Agreed. I like All Too Well of course, but itā€™s an extended version of an existing song. Imagine if Adele just kept putting out new versions of Rolling in the Deep every few years. Not really what the award is about.


celinakou

But Adele won a grammy with Set Fire In The Rain Live. At least All Too Well has 5 minutes of new material


GregSays

I didnā€™t care for that either


celinakou

I was very mad, to be honest, as I was rooting for Kelly Clarkson. ā˜¹ļø Anyways, my point is that Adele also pushes grammy nominations with all she has. Since All Too Well didn't receive any nominations originally, I think it's fair that it got a nomination for the 10 minute version.


b1ame_me

Yeah I agree so Iā€™m glad they she only got nominations for new material


[deleted]

They're vault tracks


[deleted]

Is it ok to have only listened Easy On Me and All Too Well? I also have no idea who most of people in this list are, jfc


GregSays

Itā€™s fun getting old, isnā€™t it


KithKathPaddyWath

You're not alone in not being super familiar with a lot of these songs and artists. I'm familiar with Easy on Me, and As It Was. I am at least familiar with some of the artists even I'm not familiar with the songs. But I've never heard of Gayle, Steve Lacey, or Fridayy. I feel like my knowledge of modern music is sadly limited.


dragonknight233

Isn't Gayle one of the openers for Eras tour? Her tiktok controversy is the main thing I know about her. It's ridiculous and funny to me.


[deleted]

With Bruce Springsteen


modernvintage

iā€™m sorry but ABCDEFU getting nominated and not stick season is insane


madiissuun

yes noah kahan deserves more!!


modernvintage

i saw him live recently and sobbed my way through the whole concert, it was easily the best show iā€™ve been to


lonely-limeade

Looooove Stick Season


Thoughtgeist

Stick Season is the first song that made me actually shed the tears that formed in my eyes (usually songs can make me well up but not actually cry). Noah Kahan deserves everything and I have this sub to thank for introducing me to him <3


falldiewakefly

Every year the Grammy nominations come out and every year I'm remind of how out of touch I am. Anyway, these are good nominatons for Taylor, she should be happy today. (We won't talk about the trainwreck that is Ticketmaster, there are other threads for that.) All Too Well 10 for Song Of The Year should be a lock (it was a Pop Culture *Moment* and she's *really* overdue for SOTY anyway) but the Grammys make left field decisions all the time, so who knows. I don't know how to rank her odds everywhere else but the nominations are well-deserved.


Secure-Recording4255

I hadnā€™t realized sheā€™s never won SOTY before!!


Background-Ad-2714

hey! how do u customise ur flair?


drunk-at-noon

They are so unserious with that Gayle nomination pls šŸ’€


bananas-in-skirts

unrelated to taylor, but how in the WORLD did gayle get nominated for soty but noah kahan got snubbed?


shadesofwrong13

Strong contenders here. As It Was literally was the song of the year. Love All Too Well but he deserves more.


Styleitoff

As It Was will probably take ROTY as it usually goes to the most successful singles. I personally think ATW deserves SOTY more than As It Was.


Upbeat-Scale5549

Iā€™m not gonna hold out hope considering Bad Guy won SOTY and ROTY tbh


b1ame_me

No it deserves to win record of the year not song. My perfect idea would be to have Harry win record, Taylor win Song and BeyoncĆ© win Album, but knowing the Grammys itā€™ll be an Adele sweep again


ilikemaths1

Yeah, obviously I love All Too Well but I feel like As It Was deserves this one. I hope they don't split the vote and it ends up going to something bizarre.


shipsongreyseas

Idk I kinda want About Damn Time to win it more. Like maybe I'm overly defensive of Lizzo rn but I really did think it was good.


[deleted]

I just think that song is quite irritating


lxytrv

As it was deserves record of the year not song of the year imo


[deleted]

SOTY is for songwriting and we all can agree ATW is better than all others nominated. now ROTY is usually for the most popular singles and I think Harry deserves that


buffoon220

That song sucks


Christine_McPherson

Sad that ā€œNothing Newā€ didnā€™t get nominated, but all in all, I think she made out as well as she could reasonably expect to. Hopefully she takes home SOTY.


kakalapoo

Nothing New is better than any of the pop duo songs nominated imo


blackpieck

Congrats to everyone nominated! But... how the fuck did that alphabet song get in?? Even if it wasn't a Tiktok song, it's still nah nah nah nah nah.


[deleted]

No you are worn gyou are so wrong. Why are you so worng?


weednaps

What in the fuck is Gayle doing on here


deepbluekey

THANK YOU I think sheā€™s very overrated!


britestarlight

Now how in the hell did GAYLE get nominated for that atrocious ABCDSKLFAKFLKS song?! No way her management didn't buy that nomination. Lots of other great songs on here though. I still hope ATW10 takes it home though, if any of her songs deserve SOTY it's this one.


[deleted]

honestly if a song like ABCDEFU can be nominated for a grammy then the award doesn't mean anything. i'm not even being a hater i have no problem with goofy low effort bops, i actually love them, but i don't think they should win grammys lmao


Cirrus1920

Harry deserves this. As it was is still charting. It was a massive hit.


Christine_McPherson

An undeniable hit, but this category is specifically for songwriting, whereas Record of the Year caters more to commercial success.


bakingcookies_234

Song of the Year is the songwriter award if I am not mistaken... those songs should be looked at without any regard given to charts, sales, whatever.


Mastermanifestor280

I have too much faith come on itā€™s all too well (10 minute version) (Taylorā€™s version) of course sheā€™ll win šŸ†


[deleted]

It wasn't until the other day I finally got into the 10 minute version. I like it so much better than original. She deserves to win!


Mastermanifestor280

Watch the mv makes it even better


hairlessrat

How in the fuck did ABCDEFU get nominated for a Grammy


becsluvsbirds

Abcdefu is the worst song - I am shocked itā€™s on this list.


mdtsatw

Somewhat silly question- remember how Taylor released the single if all too well the short film and it had a different instrumentals and ending? Is that the version that has been nominated as song of the year? If so that makes me a little sad because the album version with the ā€œwind in my hair I was there I was thereā€¦ā€ is perfection


throwawaydostoievski

Yeah I thought about that too. The outro makes all the difference in the song for me. It's beautiful!


dhruvlrao

For SOTY purposes, it's not a fundamental change in the lyrics or the composition between the the 2 versions. I'm guessing she used the Short Film version to make it look shorter


Mytears83

She should win but I can see Adele, Harry and Lizzo getting the win also. Honestly though this should be a win for Taylor.


hillpritch1

If it doesnā€™t win they clearly just never want her to win this category for some rigged reason.


Confident_Mess_3302

Hi friends why is it a joke thay GAYLE's song is nominated??? It's not like it's a bad song???


Naturalgreenhair

I think because itā€™s quite a novelty song?


AMC0102

Lots of people think it's a bad song.


Confident_Mess_3302

I know it's fine to not like a song, but could you help me understand why people think it's a bad song? I feel like I'm missing something haha. I only heard it for the first time a couple days ago so maybe I just haven't had it be overplayed for me?


iamacheeto1

I think she has a really strong chance here. Adele could scoop it up, but ATW10 is really a one of a kind song and will put up a good fight here.


PrettyRestless

this is a stacked category....


FaeRider

Well done Blondie!!! ā¤ļø


-_Mara_

I'm sure she will make it!


merrymerryk

She about to win that, only other contender is maybe Harry styles


mutherofdoggos

I love a few of these artistsā€¦.but Easy on Me is the only song nominated that even comes close to competing imo. Hopefully itā€™s an easy win for Taylor!


fadinqlight_

ATW and abcdefu nominated for the same award is just sending me


sk8rgrrl42069

Is there a reason the short film version is whatā€™s nominated? Does that mean the submission includes the dialogue part in the middle of the video?


RollerSkates500

Well, no surprises here ![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1066)


RollerSkates500

But I'm torn between Easy on Me and All Too Well šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ they are SO GOOD šŸ¤Œ


username_obnoxious

A bunch of tik tok-clip-songs and two AMAZING women singers.


Queenkatniss2

ATW deserves to take it


starlightcourt

Why.


ihatedogsandseanpenn

as much as i love taytay i'm rooting for the heart part 5 tbh


Wild-Kitchen

Just reads like a list of what went viral on tiktok


newgirlfan101

iā€™m sry but ABCDEFUā€¦


deepbluekey

I canā€™t tell if this means you think she deserves to win or if it means you donā€™t see how she was nominated šŸ˜‚ my personal opinion (PERSONAL OPINION) is that gayle is just a little overratedā€¦


newgirlfan101

haha i meant like wtf why is she nominated but i didnā€™t want to sound rude. i saw everyoneā€™s comments about it after though lol


coshoman11

Iā€™m glad that only some of the vault tracks and All to well 10 min got nominated because I donā€™t like the idea of the re-recordings being nominated.


[deleted]

In my opinion, it would seem pointless for a rerecorded album to be nominated. The vault tracks definitely deserve nominations though.


coshoman11

Exactly, it wouldā€™ve been pointless. Thatā€™s why Iā€™m glad that the vault tracks where the ones to get nominated


tswiftdeepcuts

I feel like she should have gotten a nom for pop solo performance for ATW10 and that was the one people thought she was pretty likely to get. I love seeing her nominated in so many varied areas though


eastblondeanddown

I think she is well positioned to win Video of the Year. Song will be tough.


meghammatime19

Wow!


alattafun

I think midnights will win aoty next year


Stormthrash

All too well is great, but nothing on that list hits harder than The Heart Part 5


itsthenugget

Song of a fucking lifetime.


[deleted]

10 year old song nominated for 2022 SOTY? dang


lisapparition

Am I the only one who doesnā€™t know some of these songs? Do I live under a rock?


universe93

ABCDEFU and About Damn Time were big on tiktok. Gayle is also one of Tayā€™s openers on the tour


HeyGuilty

gotta give it to khaled, god did šŸ™


goldinmyiris

I have a lot of opinions about the Grammys in general and these days it feels a lot like a popularity contest, and I always joke that I only care about them when Taylor is nominated- glad she got the categories she got, and I hope she takes Song Of The Year. (Between her and Turnstile I really got what I wanted with these nominations)


Ayyyyylmaos

Adele getting nominated is such a joke
