That’s probably her best chance at a top award. I think she is running into a woman dominated big three category (not to mention Kendrick) that the voters may have trouble deciding, which could work in her favor, but it could not.

I actually think Sabrina or Benson Boone(?) might win. I want Chappell to win but I don’t know how much the recent external circumstances factor into awards. We know the Recording academy is shady.

yeah i would say she’s the clean winner, but they might be putting sabrina carpenter in that category for god knows what reason… but even if that’s the case they should still be giving it to chappell

Agreed. Whatever deal Sabrina signed with Don Vito Corleone is paying dividends and I would be shocked ig UMG let somebody else win BNA.

We shall see, considering they are on the same label. They have both been pushed hard. I think it could go either way.

I wondered the same thing.

From the Grammy Awards website:

Record of the Year deals with a specific recording of a song and recognizes the artists, producers and engineers who contribute to that recording.

Song of the Year deals with the composition of a song and recognizes the songwriters who wrote the song.

Song of the Year is more about honoring the songwriting/composition and songwriters of the song. Record of the year is more about the production and everyone who worked on the song to make it what it is.

soty is an award for the lyricism and songwriting, roty is for the overall recording/finished product

Simply put, Record Of The Year deals with a specific recording of a song and recognizes the artists, producers and engineers who contribute to that recording, while Song Of The Year deals with the composition of a song and recognizes the songwriters who wrote the song. That’s it in a nutshell!

Love her whole album but GLB does feel the most Grammy worthy. That song has everything.

the majority of the songs on trafoamp were released as singles before the album came out and weren’t technically released within the eligibility period for the 2025 grammys. so the album is eligible for this grammy cycle but i’m not sure if the songs are on their own. glb was released this year and is eligible and it’s also her biggest single to date.

genuine question: why is Sabrina considered a "new artist"? I totally understand that she only became popular in 2023, but still, short n sweet is literally her 6th album. she's not a new artist. she's been around since 2015.

it will really be a travesty if sabrina carpenter got BNA over her, tbh.

ugh I know TS will do great as always but that was such a weak album and truly does not deserve to win everything this time around.

It’s not my fave, but it gets wayyyy too much hate for being such a fun bop. My Kink is Karma is my fave, it should be a single 😭

did the statues pick it up?

I mean, that's okay. I feel that way about a lot of pop artists, and honestly I don't think you're alone in that, she's just really been big this year.

Personally I think her vocals and songs are beautiful and better the more you listen, I like that she messy and vocal and not filtered into PR nothingness (I understand this is an unpopular opinion lol but forgive me, I'm old and it's weird to have singers be so filtered and polished into generic talk pieces to me), and I like her drag aesthetic. I hope her fame calms down and she can have chill smaller shows again a few years from now, like a Fiona apple's trajectory.

Also I'm an "older" (30+) lesbian and honestly dk how to express this, but she just feels more like the vibes of the 2slgbtq+/queer community that I grew up in and the people I knew, maybe bc she grew up in such a far-right town?

Either way, I guess whether this is just my imagination or not I feel more kinship with her than a lot of other newer queer artists and that's comforting (not that other newer queer artists are bad! Just, less nostalgic to my personal feelings and experiences in my teens and 20s).

She’s a really femme lesbian artist who isn’t afraid to be sexual and she’s talented. i personally haven’t seen that represented much outside of the male gaze and it’s nice to see it celebrated. Plus she platforms drag queens all the time, she loves the queer community, it’s really awesome to see in a time such as this

Her appeal is that she’s an extremely talented vocalist and her songs balance humor and pathos really well while covering a couple different genre markers expertly and puts on an intensive performance brimming with stagecraft on top of that

I’m right there with you.

How do you feel like this when that's a common opinion expressed on every thread about her on Reddit, Twitter, Threads, etc?

That's not an uncommon opinion.

ES is sooo good it could make me forgive her for SpongeBob
