Record and Song of the Year Grammy Predictions: With Ella Langley, Taylor Swift, the Two Olivias and Other Frontrunners in the Race, Expect a Nail-Biter

WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR THE NUMBERS ON THIS. THE VARIETY PEOPLE ARE LOSING THEIR MINDS OVER THE 2027 GRAMMYS AND HONESTLY IT IS SO PREDICTABLE. APPARENTLY, TAYLOR SWIFT, ELLA LANGLEY, AND BOTH OF THE OLIVIAS ARE IN THE RUNNING FOR RECORD OF THE YEAR, WHICH IS JUST EXHAUSTING. GENERAL BALLOTS WENT OUT TO RECORDING ACADEMY MEMBERS THIS PAST MONDAY AND VOTING IS HAPPENING UNTIL OCTOBER 22. THEY HAVE TO SIFT THROUGH THOUSANDS OF SONGS BEFORE THEY ANNOUNCE THE EIGHT NOMINEES ON NOVEMBER 16. THE ACTUAL SHOW ISN'T UNTIL FEBRUARY 7, 2027, SO WE HAVE MONTHS OF THIS NONSENSE TO SIT THROUGH. IT IS BARELY STARTED AND EVERYONE IS ALREADY ACTING LIKE THEY KNOW WHO WILL WIN, BUT THEY REALLY HAVE NO CLUE. IT IS ALL JUST VERY DRAMATIC AND PROBABLY VERY EXPENSIVE. OK NOW BACK TO YOUR STORY, SORRY.

I SWEAR I READ THIS TWICE TO BE SURE. THE 2027 GRAMMYS ARE ALREADY DRIVING EVERYONE CRAZY AND IT HASN'T EVEN REALLY STARTED. VARIETY SAYS PREDICTING THE RECORD OF THE YEAR IS SUPPOSEDLY EASY UNTIL YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO PICK A WINNER OUT OF THOUSANDS OF CONTENDERS. TAYLOR SWIFT, ELLA LANGLEY, AND THE TWO OLIVIAS ARE APPARENTLY THE ONES EVERYONE IS WATCHING, WHICH SOUNDS LIKE A TOTAL NIGHTMARE FOR THE JUDGES. BALLOTS ARE OUT AND VOTING CONTINUES THROUGH OCTOBER 22. WE ARE WAITING UNTIL NOVEMBER 16 FOR THE NOMINATIONS, AND THEN WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL FEBRUARY 7, 2027, FOR THE ACTUAL CEREMONY. IT IS SO MUCH WAITING FOR AN AWARD SHOW THAT WILL PROBABLY JUST MAKE EVERYONE MAD ANYWAY. I DO NOT ENVY ANYONE TRYING TO GUESS THIS. ANYWAY I WILL SEND YOU THE LINK TOMORROW.

The 2027 Grammy nominations race is underway with voting for first-round contenders open through October 22, with nominees announced on November 16 ahead of the February 7 ceremony.
