Taylor Swift has taken over the music charts by replacing herself on the number one spot twice and becoming the only singer to do so. Her The Eras Tour became a historical event that was soon followed by the movie, which is currently ruling over box offices in multiple countries.
After this successful year, she will unarguably receive multiple nominations at the Grammys 2024. However, will she also win the most prestigious categories? Let’s explore by noting her submissions, industry predictions, and insider opinions.

Grammys 2024 Predictions for the Singer
The fight for nominations in the big three categories is going to be cut-throat due to Grammys cutting down the nominees from ten to eight. However, insiders and fans are sure that Taylor Swift is going to earn a spot in all the major categories as the criteria for the songs and albums submitted require excellent chart performance, sales, technicalities, and overall impact, which Swift has managed to garner.

- Album Of The Year
The baseline of involvement required to receive a nomination in this category is 20%. This includes artists, songwriters, composers, producers, and more. Taylor Swift’s “Midnights” perfectly fits this category, and by winning this, she will become the first artist to win the category four times.
An insider who participated in voting this year also shared with The Bulletin that Swift is in the lead for this category due to her overall impact in the long run.
- Record Of The Year
The pop icon has submitted “Anti-Hero” for this category to join her former four nominated tracks “You Belong With Me,” “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” “Shake It Off,” and “Blank Space.” With this, she has made history by being the only artist to submit five solo recordings in this category.
The anonymous voter also disclosed that Swift is likely to earn a spot in the nomination of ROTY. However, he believes that Miley Cyrus‘s “Flowers” is more likely to take home the trophy.
- Song Of The Year
Swift has also submitted “Anti-Hero” for Song Of The Year, which she co-wrote with Jack Antonoff. She is already one of the most nominated artists for this category. With another addition, she will surpass Paul McCartney and Lionel Richie by becoming the most nominated artist in history.
The voter has emphasized the importance of lyricism in the song to win this category. As “Anti-Hero” has received much praise in that sector, it is likely to not only receive a nomination but also win the award.
As such, it is evident that Taylor Swift will overpower the Grammys 2024 in terms of nominations and awards. The final list of nominees will be released on November 10, and the awards are scheduled to take place on February 4, 2024, in Los Angeles. Best of luck to all the artists!
