Katy or Gaga might be able to snatch the nom from Drake if they release
So far this century, there’s an average of 1.5 primarily female albums nominated each year. Also Katy and Gaga are past their peaks.
Though Gaga at least has gotten critical respect in the past that could help her. I expect critics to hate Katy some more, or at best be lukewarm towards her.

Gaga might be going down the disco-pop route with this album so who knows
