They better make her perform at least. We need that promo

[Ripedie254]

At least she's nominated in the country categories

[thediscomonkey]

Kanye & Taylor were robbed tonight. Their albums >>>>>> AOTY nominees.

[Achilles.]

I still think Taylor will perform... and she should win at least 1 of those.

[Lyzz the Monster]

Well at least she has 3 nominations for country categories!!! Congrats Taylor!!!

[Navy]

Congratulations Taylor. It's a shame that an album way better than Fearless didnt get the nom, yet Gagas album which is worse than The Fame was nominated.

[Fearless]

Kanye and Taylor should just tell the Grammys to kiss their asses this year. What a ****ing joke.

They usually broadcast Country Album, don't they?

She NEEDS to win this one in particular... It's her best album, it'll push the sales over 4mil, and I need to be able to call it "Grammy award winning album Speak Now"

I have a strong feeling she'll lose since it's "not country enough" and it didn't win at the CMAs

I can't believe LOUD over SPEAK NOW

EVERY website/ critic/ blog had it listed as either a "shoe-in" or an "upset" and not a WORD about Loud was spoken ANYWHERE.

Yeah well, at least she got 3. Not too shabby. Maybe in the future.

[Achilles.]

The only AOTY nominee with a higher Metacritic score than Speak Now is Wasting Light (Foo Fighters).
Wasting Light- 78
Speak Now- 77

MBDTF + Bon Iver have higher scores than EVERY nominee. It's evident nobody cares about critical success this year.

ughhhhh whatever we all know Adele gonna take AOTY. (Speak Now is still better tbh)
I think Taylor can win at least 2 Grammys. Mean is not her best song tbh but last year, NYN won all the country Grammys over THTBM so..

And the joke is not even funny. The AOTY field are filled literary with mediocre albums. Kanye, Taylor, (even Beyonce) made way better albums than them. Just wish it won't happen again in the future.

I think Mean is the best choice for Best Country Song... and it'd be a CRIME to not award Speak Now with something... ENCHANTED. DEAR JOHN. LONG LIVE. BACK TO DECEMBER.

On the upside, Ours and any other Speak Now singles released after this point will be eligible for BCSolo, BCSong, ROTY, SOTY @ next year's Grammys...

Also, if she times the release of her lead single correctly, it could sneak in

which is probably why they haven't released Enchanted yet

Happy December!

I go back to December all the time

[thediscomonkey]

Well, at least I was right about the surprises they pulled this time. But I never thought it would be this far.

The only 2 albums that deserves the AOTY nod are Bon Iver & Wasting Lights. The others? Not so much. Well, Adele's pretty good, but full with filler. Bruno Mars, come on dude. LOUD, why would this single compilation album got a nod?
