I'm so happy for Beyonce, and especially that the Academy can see and reward what the country music's separate awards chose not to (although I have to assume that some country people did vote for her).
I hesitate to say it, but I think the Grammys might also have had Taylor Fatigue, given The Eras Tour, The Eras Movie, the announcement during last year's ceremony about her new album, the constant TTPD extensions. I agree that Taylor was confident enough to know this wasn't her year and to just enjoy the night.
I would love to know what the voting patterns are because I still don’t think that this means she has won over Nashville or meaningfully made a country album (I don’t agree with her that genre doesn’t matter). But it got the AOTY so who cares.
I was one of the ones who thought Harry’s House was a masterpiece (though I think Fine Line was even more so) and I wasn’t into Renaissance. I also don’t get Sabrina Carpenter so I think I need a better intro?
TTPD was such a mixed bag, half the album I absolutely LOVED (who’s afraid of little old me, Florida, Clara bow, I can do it with a broken heart, fortnight, I hate it here, etc) and the other half was terrible (my boy breaks his toys, but daddy I love him, I can fix him, basically anything Matty Healy). I wound up making my own version as a playlist but I think she’s just been publishing every song ever written rather than just the good ones. (Letting the fans decide, as you said!) I think there’s something to letting the numbers decide rather than the Grammys! But I’m glad Bey won this year, and that we got to see some fresh voices celebrated too!
I was so excited for more Fine Line, which I loved. I remain excited for his next record. It was meant to come out end of last year but was postponed for obvious reasons :(

‘And some men’ 🤣
And not in the “some pig” sense.
Love xxxxx
I'm fairly neutral on Harry's House but I enjoyed this savage takedown and will likely never hear it the same way again.
Glad I’m not the only one still mad that Harry’s House beat Renaissance.
I am never ever everrrr getting over it.
