Los Angeles, CA – The Grammy Awards ceremonies always manage to stir up controversy, and the 2023 ceremony was no exception. British pop star Harry Styles took home the night’s biggest prize, beating out Adele and Beyoncé for Album of the Year. However, this year’s ceremony is shaping up to be less provocative, with female artists dominating the Big Four categories.
SZA leads with nine nominations and is closely followed by boygenius and Victoria Monét. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift is on the cusp of becoming the first-ever four-time Grammy winner for Album of the Year, adding to her already impressive list of achievements.
As the ceremony approaches, taking place at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena, the predictions for who will win – and who should win – in the Big Four categories are already being discussed.
In the category of Song of the Year, artists like Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Jon Batiste, and Taylor Swift are in contention. Although the predictions are in favor of Billie Eilish winning, many believe that SZA’s song “Kill Bill” showcases top-notch lyrics and melody.
Looking at the Best New Artist category, artists like Noah Kahan, Coco Jones, and Victoria Monét are in the running. While Noah Kahan is predicted to win, many believe that Victoria Monét’s track record in R&B music makes her deserving of the award.
The Record of the Year category is filled with strong contenders, including artists like Billie Eilish, boygenius, Miley Cyrus, and Taylor Swift. While Taylor Swift is expected to win, there is a strong case for boygenius to take home the prize for their performance and production on “Not Strong Enough”.
In the Album of the Year category, the competition is tight with boygenius, Janelle Monáe, SZA, and Taylor Swift vying for the award. Despite the tough competition, Taylor Swift’s commercial success and critical acclaim for her album “Midnights” make her a strong contender for the prize.
Overall, the upcoming Grammy Awards are expected to showcase the talents of many deserving artists, and the predictions for the winners are already generating buzz in the music industry.
