I feel like she might get, like, more than 2 nominations and possibly win some. Pop Duo/Group nomination is kinda on lock (you don't see Grammy favorites like Kanye and Paul in one line often), also have hopes for some general nominations - again, the collaboration, the song itself was successful and its sound is very Grammy-beloved - although there would be some strong competitors (see: Uptown Funk). Hopefully, the story with Stay and Get Lucky won't repeat itself
Still, I don't believe in "pop version of Taylor being dearly beloved in the committee".
Also, I don't see strong competition in soundtrack part among already submitted, although Rihanna's songs listed weren't so popular to get anything. They might find something extra... BBHMM in r&b noms feels strange but understood - they don't have hip-hop or trap noms
+ the song wouldn't fit in "rap"... it might end up falling apart or getting those nominations, cuz (considering it wasn't sent on pop radio, am I wrong?) it performed pretty well.
Then, videos. I would love to see all 3 being submitted, I'd even bet for FFS (cuz smth like that won in previous years). I pretty understand the hopes for BBHMM, and I'd love to see it being nominated (and win), cuz it's flawless & daring piece of work. Still... don't know what to suppose. It might seem to risky for them. Like, Man Down and S&M were snubbed from nominations, but WFL won. Feminist complaints, violence and nudity might spoil the situation, but references to cult movies and the whole work being done might do the opposite.
Like they weren't teasing BBHMM & TTS the day of their announcements.....etc.
