All of these Albums are really good. The albums I listened to the most out of all these are “SOS” by SZA, “GUTS” by Olivia Rodrigo, and “Midnights” by Taylor Swift. I’m really excited to see who will get the Grammy.
ReplyDeleteThis is a jam-packed list for album of the year but I have to go with SOS by SZA as my album of the year. I know she probably won't win it because Swiftie-mania has taken over but I've truly learn to appreciate the musical genius of SZA and how great she is as a singer. I saw her in concert and it was GREAT! I think Taylor will win it but my vote goes to SZA.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I always miss the awards seasons and only hear about the nominees after, but what a batch! Definitely agree that Taylor Swift will win, otherwise I think there could be riots.
ReplyDeleteTaylor, I really enjoyed reading your article! As someone who has been a huge Lana Del Rey fan since middle school, I really hope she wins, it is so well deserved! Her best album in my opinion has to be "Norman F****** Rockwell, do you have a favorite?
ReplyDeleteI always get so excited for the Grammys. I love how this year the album of the year nominees are almost exclusively women! I love Miley, Lana, and Taylor but I don't think these were their best releases in their discography. My personal favorite is GUTS but I could also definitely see it going to SOS or the record!
ReplyDeleteTeam Guts!! Jon Batiste can't beat Olivia twice... right? I know this is practically heresy in modern-day pop, but Taylor Swift is not really my cup of tea. Although, I will admit, "Karma" does get stuck in my head sometimes. But overall, I am team Olivia in this one. - Cameron
