67th Annual Grammy Awards Big 4 Predictions
Who I Think Will Win The Big 4 Categories
Hello! This is a special edition blog post where I reveal who I think will win the Big 4 categories in this year’s Grammy Awards!
Compare and comment with your predictions below. Be sure to tune in on CBS and Paramount+ at 8pm EST on February 2nd! Comedian Trevor Noah returns as host. The ceremony will take place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California. The awards will also double as a fundraiser for the victims of the tragic L.A. wildfires earlier this month.
Record of the Year
Nominees: “Now and Then” by The Beatles, “Texas Hold ‘Em” by Beyoncé, “Espresso” by Sabrina Carpenter, “360” by Charli XCX, “Birds of a Feather” by Billie Eilish, “Not Like Us” by Kendrick Lamar, “Good Luck, Babe!” by Chappell Roan, “Fortnight” by Taylor Swift feat. Post Malone
Prediction: “Texas Hold ‘Em” by Beyoncé. Its the first record where she delved all in into the world of country music. This should be the year where she finally gets her 1st win in this category.Album of the Year
Nominees: New Blue Sun by André 3000, Cowboy Carter by Beyoncé, Short n’ Sweet by Sabrina Carpenter, Brat by Charli XCX, Djesse Vol. 4 by Jacob Collier, Hit Me Hard and Soft by Billie Eilish, The Rise and Fall of a Midwestern Princess by Chappell Roan, The Tortured Poets Department by Taylor Swift
Prediction: Hit Me Hard and Soft by Billie Eilish. If she does indeed win this category, it would be her second career win. Her 1st win (2020) was for her debut album, WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?Song of the Year
Nominees: “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” by Shaboozey, “Birds of a Feather” by Billie Eilish, “Die with a Smile” by Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars, “Fortnight” by Taylor Swift, “Good Luck, Babe!” by Chappell Roan, “Not Like Us” by Kendrick Lamar, “Please Please Please” by Sabrina Carpenter, “Texas Hold ‘Em” by Beyoncé
Prediction: There was no escaping Shaboozey’s viral hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” in 2024! I wouldn’t be surprised if he’d won this award! It was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 19 consecutive weeks (tied for most with “Old Town Road” by Lil Nas X) so that could be a good reason for members of the Recording Academy to take note of.Best New Artist
Nominees: Benson Boone, Sabrina Carpenter, Doechii, Khruangbin, Raye, Chappell Roan, Shaboozey, Teddy Swims
Prediction: Hands down this one should go to Sabrina Carpenter. With one of the biggest hits of her career with “Espresso” last summer, I feel that was enough to secure the win here. It reached 5x Platinum status according to the RIAA. If she does win, she would join Miley Cyrus in the exclusive “former Disney Channel star to Grammy winner club!”
Note: Miley Cyrus won last year for Best Pop Solo Performance for “Flowers.”
