About Taylor Swift’s Grammys performance, as the biggest Pop star (according to New York magazine) and the biggest awards show, Taylor Swift’s performing is 100% certain for me. My curiosity focuses on which song she will perform, whether and when will she announce the rest dates of RED TOUR, when will she release her 5th album.
My BRAVE PREDICTIONS which are as inaccurate as those predictions when I asked you to challenge me before, but you know I am fearless) are different from most predictions out there, I predict based on if she will win the Album Of The Year or not. Frankly, in my view, whether she will win the Grammy Album Of The Year for the second time or not will answer all the above curiosities.
If she wins Album Of The Year for the second time, she will perform either Highway Don’t Care or Everything Has Changed, I love Begin Again and think its video is really excellent, I personally just don’t want to see her perform Begin Again at Grammys; if not, her performance will be very interesting, I bet she has huge chance to perform a new song from her new album, and at Grammys, I prefer her solo performance. I mentioned that I prefer to see her performing ATW (my #1 favorite) in the stadiums rather than Grammys before.
If she wins Album Of The Year for the second time, she will announce the rest dates of RED TOUR right after; if not, she will not announce any further dates of RED TOUR, they will be merged into her next WORLD tour.
If she wins Album Of The Year for the second time, she will release her new album in the fourth quarter which is the same as her former albums; if not, she will release her new album much earlier this year like in the summer.
There are a lot of uncertainties above, but there’s definitely one certainty over there, I made my predictions based on this one certainty: she nearly spent the past whole month preparing for one HUGE thing – her new album.
Think about it, her last date of RED TOUR was December 14, from then (even before that) we were waiting for her announcing the rest dates of RED TOUR, we were so disappointed to see she missed the best time to announce them. We think it’s not logical especially her UK tour dates will begin on February 1 and end on February 11. What we saw were just some random pictures, nothing more. What’s she doing? Only one answer – NEW ALBUM.
The above predictions are also backed by the quotes: one from Scott Borchetta, her label president, when he was asked about the releasing time of her new album, he said “Totally up to Taylor”; the other one from Taylor Swift herself, she said all the things would be determined in this month.
What Grammys performance do you want to see? Do you prefer an earlier release date of her new album or the similar release date as her previous albums? Above are my BRAVE PREDICTIONS, PLEASE CHALLENGE ME!!!

I summarized all the challenging posts (thanks every one of them honestly), they have two very good points:
One from eddytws' couple of posts challenging me by asking How does Taylor know she will win AOTY ahead, this question nearly made me withdraw my whole post, I thought about it, but not as deeply as eddtws. Luckily, she doesn't need to know she will win, she only needs to know she won't win like at ACM, CMT to make this important decision. I DO apologize though, Taylor might really don't know she will win the awards for sure ahead of the shows, maybe she just knows she has the highest possiblities to win them, this (like what wheddtws said) explains her surprise facial expression which I desperately want to see at this Grammys.
Another from THREEE members:castle13,CountryFriedChicken and muddysquirrel (this fact itself makes me doubt myself and rethink everything, thank you all for it), their questions are really valuable: why does winning AOTY and her decisions related? This makes me thinking "Am I TOO biased?". Yes I am. Everybody is kind of biased here, but I went one crazy step further. I desperately need her to win AOTY for the second time, because in my view it's a turning point which can resolve all the problems here: the rest dates of RED TOUR, releasing date of LP5, her 3rd 1 million first week album sales. It will be perfect if she wins AOTY because:
It will not cause that much overexposure as I thought before, since she will continue her RED TOUR OUTSIDE of US, hopefully the Gossip sites will leave her alone which I doubt it;
she can release LP5 in October as normal and get the 3rd 1 million first week album sales, I think she will release her singles not albums in different ways like what her team said. This is another BRAVE PREDICTION which I will write in the future.
Our Lord is unpredictable, and like what Scott said making all the decisions above is TOTALLY up to her, like my predictions are personal, her decisions are also personal, anything could happen, this is the only reason I am still trying to predict the unpredictable - our Lord.
Thank you all for the challenging posts which made me sweating, maybe you are just one post away from making me TOTALLY withdraw what I predicted, please keep challenging me, I love this fan base even more. Thank you! Have to go to sleep, Good Night!
@ Scott for giving little swifties false hope.
