Of course she can. Sam Smith/Ed Sheeran and Miley Cyrus/Ariana Grande will split votes because they're similar. It's between Katy and Coldplay. Which album is the biggest sales wise out of these 6?

There's one place left on Earth where Katy Perry can still be considered a dark horse: The Grammy Awards.
The Billboard chart-topping, Super Bowl-conquering pop star, who will be performing at Sunday's Grammys, has been shut out by the Recording Academy in 11 previous nominations dating back to 2009. She's got two more nods this year, and says it'd be "so amazing and so funny" to win her first Grammy for "Dark Horse," featuring rapper Juicy J, a song that's outside her traditional sunny soundscape.
"When I made that record, it was not serious even. Then it turned into like a thing," Perry said in a recent interview. "At the core of it, my music is very pop and bright. And 'Dark Horse' is like a little bit darker and trappier and just a different lane. I heard the beat and it wasn't even meant for me. I was like, let me try something on that."
Perry is nominated in the pop duo/group performance category for "Dark Horse" and in the pop vocal album category for her fourth studio album, "Prism," released in October 2013. She's been busy since its release on a worldwide tour — 108 shows so far — that continues in Europe and Asia after another performance at the Grammys on Sunday.
As for new music, Perry said she's regularly jotting down ideas while touring, but plans to take time off after her final leg to get out of her "boring" touring "bubble" and craft songs about "real life experiences." Success — nine No. 1 singles on Billboard's Hot 100 — has bred a degree of restlessness.
"I also think it's important for me to maybe start reinventing myself. Because I can't keep topping myself because I'll just combust at some point," Perry said. "You can't keep topping yourself when you're at such a height. There's only one Mount Everest and once you've reached it, it's like where do you go from there? You've just got to sail somewhere else."
I hate when she talks about that stupid mount Everest thing. Girl has potential for one more big album. Shut up and go make hits instead of pulling the excuses even before anything is done. She's been very business savvy recently but that kind of fake 'not topping myself' approach didn't do any good for PRISM.
She probably felt proud of herself
