The way the Grammy's purposely put drake and Simpson in (mainly drake) to sabotage her is ridiculous
Not really. If they wanted to sabotage her they would have nominated Bowie and Radiohead which literally would have blown her chances. They had to nominate Drake based on the facts that Views was huge. But at the end of tve day, it remains a critically reviled mess and the grammys hardly **** with him anyway (he won 1/27 of his nominations). They also had to nominate some random rock/country album as always and choosing a nobody like Struggle with absolutely ZERO legacy or commercial success is better than Bowie and Radiohead who had both.
Several members here claim that the noms are set up so she can win. I wouldn't say that but it definitely looks like they made it a little easier (and so did Frank Ocean)

Honestly at this point, **** it, I wouldn't even care if that was the case. I just need her to win AOTY once in her career and now is the perfect chance

Yep, it has to be now.
I honestly think that they want to give it to her this time. ST losing already caused a huge mess but Beck's victory was justified in a way. If Lemonade loses against a nobody who started his career three years ago (and just a typical white guy with a car), that would cause an even bigger mess, especially after they shat on Kendrick last year and rewarded that other crap instead. People actually take notice of Beyoncé and though her detractors will always see her as a talentless ass-shaking singer, anyone with half a brain knows that she DOES deserve that award. Adele completely rehashed 21 and already has one. I love her but that AOTY does not belong to her either. Drake and Bieber shouldn't even be discussed.
Same for Radiohead. They had three AOTY noms already and never won. I expected them to destroy Bey if nominated but now that they're out of the race, the road looks clear
I've been all over the place since December 6. I just want her to win
Album of the year
Song of the year Urban contemporary album of the year
Rap/Sung collaboration Best video
Best music film.
These are on lock (Rihanna will not win Urban Cont unlike what many seem to think) and she'll most likely win Rap/Sung too. We don't know what **** they'll pull with AOTY this year so we'll see. And I don't see her winning SOTY.
I lowkey want her to win rock performance for the fumes but that ain't happening. They'll find a way to reward Bowie to make up for the AOTY snub.
