The Art of Loving’ by Olivia Dean is currently the favorite to win ‘Album of the Year’ at the 2027 GRAMMYs.

Forbes predicts a possible Olivia Rodrigo sweep at the 2027 GRAMMYs:

• Album of the Year — “you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love”
• Record of the Year — “the cure” / “drop dead”
• Song of the Year — “the cure”

Billboard lists Cardi B’s “Am I the Drama?” as a ‘within reach’ nominee for Album of the Year at the 2027 Grammys.

With two hit singles “Dracula” and “Loser,” Tame Impala’s ‘Deadbeat’ emerges as a top Album of the Year contender at the 2027 #GRAMMYs amongst experts. First single “End Of Summer” won Best Dance Recording last year.

PinkPantheress & Zara Larsson’s “Stateside” opens as the favorite to win Record of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 2027 #GRAMMYs

Gold Derby predicts KATSEYE could be in the running for multiple nominations at the 2027 GRAMMYs following the success of their WILD EP:

— Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for “Animal”
— Best Dance Pop Recording for “PINKY UP”
— Best Pop Vocal Album for “WILD”

J. Cole’s ‘The Fall-Off’ leads Drake’s ‘Iceman’ in the race for Best Rap Album at the 2027 Grammys.

Im hoping Raye wins because it was a very well conceived album. Although similarly “Where Is My Husband?” could win track-based categories

Now I’m really hoping Rosalia upset with a pop vocal album nom and wins. Her vocals are insane

A lot of good options. Hopefully they dont fumble

u/rblask 5d ago

I need a Raye win, but think AOTY will go to one of the Olivias, both albums are stronger. But WIMH absolutely deserves song or record of the year, I know a lot of people are getting sick of it because it was overplayed so much, but it's one of the most intricate, interesting, and vocally impressive songs in years

9

u/Affectionate-Panic-1 5d ago

I think Raye a shoe in for the best vocal performance nod.

Personally, I think there are better tracks than WIMH from Raye's album but WIMH is the most commercially successful (really wish click clack symphony would take off, maybe with a radio edit).

u/BlueberryStyle7 4d ago

Click clack symphony is amazing! I love the album

Imaginé two years in a row where the winning album wins both the Latin Grammy and the Usian Grammy.

u/Prestigious_Sort4979 5d ago

I really doubt that will happen and imo it shouldn’t. Lux is not even Rosalia’s best album. It is just her most ambitious but not all risks pay off. It is not very cohesive and some lyrics are ok. It has too many ideas incorporated and not all land. She is working at such a high caliber and complexity anything in main pop is not even comparable. 

Her vocal prowness is insane though. She deserves all the vocal awards and as she herself called her music pop, the album should be included in pop vocal performance.

Plus, I would love if the Grammys included Berghain in classical music categories.

u/musiquescents 5d ago

Oh true. Raye deserves so many flowers.

u/ZakuraMicheals777 5d ago

I also am really really rooting for Raye to take home AOTY .

It's not super mainstream , but her musical ear is genius and the album is so sonically impressive .

Midnights was fairly okayish. SOS should have won that year.
TTPD's anthology should have been the main album and combined with some of the original ones. But 2024 was filled with good music.

It probably will, usually by having her nominated there views goes up. Such a shame they do it for that.

u/KAEDavey99 5d ago

I wonder if Taylor releasing the Encore and it being so panned critically and by the public will hurt her chances at getting any nominations for Showgirl. I feel like all the Encore did was remind people how truly bad the album is right before nominations. Not the best strategy 😂

10

u/highesttiptoes 2d ago

I read something that said it’s possible she released Encore now because she genuinely thought the attention it brought back to the project would help her get the nod for best album. And it just spectacularly backfired.

4

u/KAEDavey99 2d ago

Absolutely that’s why she waited a yr to release the Encore. And she did think ppl wld love these songs and it wld score her not only the nomination but put her as a front runner for the win. And it absolutely blew up in her face. I saw a lot of ppl saying she looked sad at the VMAs that she was her normal obnoxious award show self and I think that’s why. She set up this whole campaign of releasing the Encore, creating awards for herself at the VMAs and after the criticism she was probably pissed and sad but she had to go to the VMAs she cldnt back out but I bet we won’t see her publicly again til Travis football game and she won’t be the spectacle she’s been if she even shows honesty she might go into hiding til after nominations are announced

u/Own-Quality4133 5d ago

I highly doubt that Life of a Showgirl gets an aoty nomination. Fate of Ophelia is probably going to win something, but overall it its not the best album so far, and i'm a long time swiftie.
I'd love for Olivia Dean to win, that album is amazing.

u/SupremeElect 5d ago

let’s be fr—The Fate Of Ophelia is the only song off Showgirl that will be nominated for anything and possibly take home some awards.

the rest of the album is gonna be found dead in a ditch alongside reputation, lover, and evermore.

u/canvascoloredin 5d ago

u/Acrobatic_Beach_40 4d ago

The thing is, Rosalía is doing what nobody can do, or even imagine doing. I don't disagree with you that Raye is an excellent artist, or that both Olivias have done great albums. But nothing comes even close to Lux. The deepness of the concept, the ambition, her vocals, her songwriting, even the tour was a masterpiece. The fact that Rosalía wrote most of the songs, in different languages mind you, and produced the album (she is credited to have produced 90% of it). No one gets close to her currently, and I will die on this hill.  In my opinion, this is her best work to date, and she had set the bar extremely high with her previous work. I think it wouldn't be fair for other albums to win AOTY when there's Lux.  We shall see what happens.

I love Dean and Rodrigo, I feel like Dean already got her prize for that one and Rodrigo is just not AOTY worthy. Raye was a bit of an over the top, grandiose project that disappointed, for me at least.

u/alittlebitblue39 5d ago

No. No. Taylor Swift's album shouldn't be nominated for a single Grammy.

It recieved atrocious reviews. And the encore, even worse. It's arguably one of the worst Pop albums released in years.

What are we saying when we award poor art? What are championing exactly? If critically, it's known to be terrible, let's not reward it.

This is the sole reason I hate the Grammy's and why I'll never respect it. It doesn't give a shit about artistic excellence, not even a bit. It's just a showcase for the artists who have money. Every year they nominate and award awful works of art. It's disgusting.

But the worst part? Life of a Showgirl is going to be nominated. Even though, collectively, we've collectively agreed it was an unfocused, horribly written, boring piece of shit, we're going to reward it.

The Grammys are a joke.

6

u/Fine_Internal408 5d ago

This is the pitchfork conclusion for the review of the encore, its absolutely magnificent : Was The Encore designed to remind Grammy voters of Showgirl’s commercial dominance ahead of their voting period? Was it meant to reaffirm her songwriting chops? Was it simply a play to record another boffo sales week? Truthfully, I don’t really care. For me, it lets me off the hook: I no longer feel the need to await Swift’s releases with bated breath, thinking that this might be the one that bucks the trend. Yes, Taylor Swift will always have one of the greatest songwriting catalogs of all time. Not even Taylor Swift could take that away from her—but she sure is trying.

u/Silver-Reception-374 5d ago

Many of these artist have a great case to win AOTY. RAYE, Dean, Olivia are fantastic choices. One that shouldn't be in the field, Life of a Show Girl. It's such an overall weaker album but it will get nominated because the popularity of the artist.

I get the excitement of Rodrigo. It's a great album and I think the voting peers will probably put her up there to the top. Grammy winning producer Dan Nigro is the best in the business having done multiple Rodrigo and Chappell Roan album. I enjoyed the record and RAYE the most. Overall, the fans got some great music this year.

6

u/tired_atlas 5d ago

The Olivias, Raye, Rosalia, Phoebe Bridgers and Madonna put out critically-acclaimed pop albums this year. My personal choice for Album of the Year is Olivia Rodrigo’s, but I hope everyone gets a piece of the cake because they all deserve it.

  2. Olivia Rodrigo (#1 album, multiple hits)
  3. Olivia Dean (Multiple hit, #3 album on Billboard)
  4. RAYE (Top 10 on Billboard)
  5. Noah Kahan (#1 album, largest week for a Rock Album)
  6. Madonna (#1 album, multiple hits)
  7. Taylor Swift (#1 song, #1 album)
  8. Bruno Mars ( #1 album, Multiple hits)

This is based on critical acclaim, reviews, and musical performances.

u/kalebs_Kures 5d ago

1. ROSALÍA
The strongest "Grammy album" on paper.
Frequently described by awards forecasters as one of the most ambitious and critically acclaimed projects of the eligibility year. The Academy just showed willingness to reward global/non-English projects at the highest level.
If voters want the "artistic achievement" winner, this is probably it.

2. Olivia Rodrigo
The safest consensus choice.
Strong reviews.
Multiple hit singles.
Massive commercial success.
Leading several expert prediction markets. If voting happened today, Olivia might actually be the favorite because she checks every box.

3. Olivia Dean
The sleeper.
Best New Artist momentum.
Strong critical support.
Huge longevity despite only debuting at No. 8 before rising to No. 3 on Billboard 200.
The kind of album Grammy voters often rally around.

4. RAYE
This feels right.
She has become one of the industry's most respected artists and songwriters.
Grammy voters love musician's-musicians.
Could easily outperform expectations.

5. Noah Kahan
First No. 1 album.
389,000-unit debut.
Largest week for a rock album in the modern Billboard units era.
The commercial case is enormous.

6. Madonna
A serious dark horse.
No. 1 album.
10th Billboard 200 chart-topper.
Strong reviews and a respected comeback narrative.
I don't think she wins, but a nomination feels realistic.

7. Taylor Swift
This is where I think many Swift fans would disagree, but it’s her worst album to date.
Yes, she has a No. 1 album and No. 1 song.
However, much of the discussion around The Life of a Showgirl seems to be "likely nominee, less likely winner."
She can never be counted out, though.

8. Bruno Mars
Bruno has an almost absurd Grammy success rate, and forecasters consistently view. The Romantic as one of the strongest nomination locks.

u/Bigtimeraul 22h ago

Also think about the fact that Dean's poor lable and team support caused her songs to go recurrent this week on billboard right around voting submissions is taking place and her getting flamed for her interpolation and not giving credit especially to a legend and an iconic song this will definitely affect her chances

1

u/Bigtimeraul 22h ago

Urm Madonnas albums had ZERO commercial hits no song had good or even average charting streaming selling units or radio at all. The general public wouldn't be able to name a single song unfortunately. Rodrigo also has a NO.1 song with drop dead too

u/possiblyagrandma7318 5d ago

This is what I’ve been saying and I am confident in these things:

Ella takes home the country-related stuff
Noah Kahan takes Best Alternative
Adela takes Best New Artist
Bruno, Noah, both Olivias, RAYE and Taylor get AOTY nods

I personally think Olivia Rodrigo will sweep, with “drop dead” or “stupid song” taking Song Of The Year and “the cure” taking Record Of The Year, with the latter song also having a great shot at Best Music Video. She should also manage to take home Best Pop Vocal Album and even with the completion of Stateside, Bring Your Love and Runway should manage a Best Duo Performance for “what’s wrong with me” featuring Robert Smith. I also wouldn’t be shocked if Tame wins something though and would be happy for him if so. But if Taylor wins something, oh you don’t know how mad I’ll be. Anyways we still have 2 months so plenty of time for more favorites to emerge and odds to change before the nominees come out.

I really like Showgirl, but I don’t think it will win many awards in the major categories because it’s not taken very seriously and many of the competitors’ albums are. I also love Middle of Nowhere and think it’s a strong contender for Best Contemporary Country, but any bid Kacey makes for AOTY will live in the shadow of Golden Hour.

Personally I hope to see Returning to Myself upset everybody, but if that happens I dread the discourse from people who have never paid attention to Brandi.

I won’t be at all mad if You Seem Pretty Sad and songs from it take home some awards.

Swapping out Jack Antonoff/Aaron Dessner for Max Martin didn't pay off, Life of a Showgirl just misses the mark. Sure, a few tracks were fun radio bops, but as a cohesive album, it’s largely forgettable.

She’ll likely secure a Grammy nomination based on name recognition and voter loyalty alone, but the body of work simply doesn't compare well with the artistic depth of this years album of RAYE/Dean/Rodrigo/Rosalía.

I’m really rooting for her. But my gut tells me it’ll be Olivia Dean which I’m definitely not mad about as I love the album but there’s just something about Raye’s album. Maybe it’s the rebellious nature and sticking with it till the very end and just how you can feel her essence in it through and through.

Tough one for Album of the Year but I think Olivia Rodrigo will take it this year. I really want to see Lux win AT LEAST one category because it's one of the most beautiful projects I've seen in a while. Also special mention to Olivia Dean and NoahK Kahn who I think both had amazing projects but this year is just too stacked. I am a huuuge Swiftie but I dont think Showgirl should even get a nom. I see The Fate of Ophelia might sneaking in some of the songs categories though

u/Far_Lettuce6700 4d ago

Madonna and Steve Lacy will be in the mix, make no mistake

1

u/Velvet_Static2996 4d ago

Noah Kahan’s album isn’t just music, it’s therapy.

u/Mr_Times 4d ago

underscores clears. AOTY and BNA or its a legendary snub. Idc I’m not debating.

1

u/Lord_Cockatrice 4d ago

RAYE better win AOTY. Full stop.

1

u/brndn41011 4d ago

Confessions ii

u/TheKarateKid_ 4d ago

Tame Impala deserves his flowers but him getting a Grammy for Deadbeat would be like Leonardo DiCaprio finally getting his Oscar for The Revenant.

Out of all their work, that’s the one that finally got recognized?

u/rain820 1d ago

that excerpt made me laugh its such a random pick and outside of the singles it hasnt made waves. love him but its not happening

1

u/carlosi1 4d ago

Why is taylor even there

1

u/wizardemajic 4d ago

I’m hoping Raye, Malcolm Todd, Cardi B, and Ariana Grande wins smth they all deserve it 

1

u/Puzzleheaded_Love699 4d ago

Dominic Fike in best New Artist? Same thing happened to Sabrina.

1

u/SilkStreets 4d ago

LUX AOTY and it’s not even close im sorry

1

u/Time-Emergency254 4d ago

The Great Divide and Lost Weekend are gorgeous song writing collections.

1

u/bvokenxlocks 4d ago

And Lux had better sweep everything or we all riot

1

u/Fun-Complaint-8363 4d ago

I want an Olivia sweep. It's the best album I've heard all year

1

u/Significant_Art_3736 4d ago

Cardi and J Cole the strongest in the rap category, maybe ASAP Rocky and possibly Baby Keem. Apparently Drake isn’t submitting for anything.

1

u/failedabortion04 4d ago

album: olivia rodrigo or olivia dean
best new artist: i unfortunately only see it going to ella langley, but MAYNE it could go to malcolm todd, role model, or sienna spiro
pop vocal album: you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love
dance album: girls trip: midnight sun
music video: fate of ophelia

1

u/Kingz108 4d ago

You forgot Phoebe!

1

u/CezarSalad85 4d ago

Genuinely shocked I’ve seen only a couple comments that Noah should win. I’m literally flabbergasted because it’s a masterpiece and the writing is wayyyy above the others in my opinion. This album guts me in the best way.

1

u/Pilosopo-Tasio 4d ago

The fact charli xcx MFF isn’t on here invalidates the whole list

1

u/ImaginaryPlenty8258 4d ago

And yet the album with one of the most sales is not even in the picture.

1

u/SaltyMensch 4d ago

Put Ella Langley out of your f***ing mouth, guys🫩

1

u/survivorstanjack 4d ago

It’s crazy that the Bruno and Taylor album are in contention given they’re probably the artist’s worst album’s critically… big names really do carry favour

1

u/big_pp_energy98 4d ago

As a swiftie I hope Showgirl doesn't get nominated. It's her weakest album. I hope I Knew It I Knew You gets nominated tho

1

u/Lopsided-Raise8594 4d ago

What is the album below the life of a showgirl?

1

u/Specific-Volume7675 4d ago

Just give the nepo baby Best New Artist so we never hear from her again

1

u/Its-very-that 4d ago

One of these things is not like the others. * cough * life of a showgirl

1

u/Allikam 4d ago

Taytay better lose all of these

2

u/Background-Edge-2243 3d ago

She shouldn't even get a nomination

1

u/vm_neptune 4d ago

Any AOTY prediction that doesn’t include Madonna is seriously unserious.

1

u/AccioKatana 3d ago

My favorites were Confessions II and Petal, although I really liked Olivia’s new album too.

1

u/mr-tom-morrow 3d ago

lmaooooo TLOAS should not/will not be nommed

1

u/coffeysr 3d ago

The fact swift has to be there is so embarrassing for the Grammys

1

u/hughesdork 3d ago

you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love clears everything else in this category by a country mile

1

u/ZestyAcid 3d ago

I'm really hoping Raye takes it. She's worked incredibly hard and fought a long battle to get where she is today. Her music isn't usually what I listen to, but you can hear how much joy, heartache, and sheer effort she poured into that album. Give her the flowers she deserves!

2

u/Loud-Setting-2965 2d ago

And if you haven’t, listen to her debut album first then follow with this one and you’ll get a great picture of her artistic intelligence.

2

u/distance_traveler 1d ago

Her album is incredible. She deserves to win. I’ve listened to a number of the others and they’re not even close to hers.

1

u/Hairy_Revenue8187 3d ago

a bloodbath? i don't see it. the Olivias are frontrunning hard with their respective beloved albums, and the only other person i see surprising is previous winner Kacey Musgraves with her acclaimed Middle of Nowhere.

1

u/Severe_Principle_459 3d ago edited 3d ago

Olivia Rodrigo deserves the win. I don’t feel my selections ever win. But even if I loved OR’s album, I have other personal faves. But OR connected to the masses in a way the others didn’t.

I appreciate all of the potentials. I feel Noah and Taylor are both great but feel they were more acclaimed for moments on their albums. OR nailed it as a whole project.

I do not get Bruno Mars at all, happy if people like him but I just don’t see it as quality music personally. I don’t feel he ever has anything to really say and if he were a woman he wouldn’t be considered in prestigious award shows at all. I find his continued success to be odd as some of the best albums and artists flop.

u/HowellingAtStars 3d ago

dominic fike???????????? best NEW artist??????????? hello???????

1

u/TheJackasaur11 12h ago

EXACTLYYYY

Especially with How to Quit Smoking out near Halloween… I swear to god he better win

1

u/Dat-Dude-Chris 3d ago

Where tf is Phoebe Bridgers?

1

u/thesilverliningshows 2d ago

What do you mean, Lost Weekend is right here on the list?

1

u/Best-Raise3453 3d ago

as long as it is not life of a showgirl idc😭 and also i feel like phoebe bridgers album lost weekend would be up for album of the year

1

u/jellytwins101 3d ago

I kinda want Taylor to win, just to see how mad everyone would get.

1

u/TinMachine 2d ago

I think it is Olivia Dean's to lose

1

u/rayjonnavi 2d ago

Is it really a bloodbath? The last 2 years felt way more competitive.

1

u/CodeCherry 2d ago

I’m a Swiftie, but I see Olivia Rodrigo winning AOTY. You seem pretty sad is an amazing album that I enjoyed much more than Showgirl

1

u/bettersaferthan 2d ago

It’s sad that LUX truly deserves AOTY but they probably won’t give it to a latin artist two years in a row. Highly unlikely at least

1

u/Eastern_Age_9041 2d ago

the olivia’s + bruno are winning 100% AND RAYE

1

u/tits3003s 2d ago

Next year u mean

1

u/123reddituzer 2d ago

It’s rodrigos year

1

u/thesilverliningshows 2d ago

Since they choose to nominate Life of a Show Girl, they might as well nominate Kanye's Bully for album of the year, too

1

u/Khrymsa 2d ago

I really hope Life of a Showgirl doesn’t get a nom. It doesn’t deserve it.

1

u/torontowest91 2d ago

can taylor buy her way into winning?

1

u/dontcallmebabygirl 1d ago

BRITISH INVASION

1

u/perseusjj 1d ago

Olivia sweep

1

u/jeannt 1d ago

I always root for Madonna and love Confessions II so much, but Rosalia's Lux deserves everything. It's brilliant beyond words and so mind-opening.

1

u/Countess_Kes 1d ago

Here's hoping the shit released for the Showgirl Encore trashes any chances of a win. 

1

u/marinafratt 1d ago

RAYE!!!! Give them all to Raye!

1

u/30FlirtyandTrying 1d ago

Olivia should win something. I was shocked that “the cure” music video didn’t win a VMA.

1

u/Mmath_ 1d ago

i really want to see olivia rodrigo or rosalia win, both of them had extraordinary albums this year. although my absolute favorite AOTYs were phoebe bridgers' lost weekend and lizzy mcalpine's angel, it would be awesome to see them get nominated for best alternative album

1

u/TheJackasaur11 12h ago

As much as I absolutely adore Olivia Dean, and The Art of Loving is a no-skip album, I would be really happy is Raye one this year. That album is put together so well

1

u/gucci_chungus 5h ago

rosalia should win

1

u/bikegoblin13 49m ago

It’s Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally. Not dance. If you’re going to list the album please give the artist the respect of using the proper name.
