Folklore wins AOTY

Happy for her. It's a good album and definitely a stand out of the year.

Well in the documentary we saw how devastated she was when Reputation got snubbed, so I am sure she is happy. Good for her. I would have personally given it to Future Nostalgia, but folklore is easily Taylor's best album. 

It got Pop Vocal Album nomination, some great albums don't even get that. She said she had to make a better record because it wasn't nominated for Album of the Year. 

[HuffsAhoy 7,433]

Another undeserved win. The constant worship of Taylor is so perplexing to me. She puts out a rather mediocre acoustic album and gets praised to heaven when a masterpiece like Future Nostalgia gets nothing? The USA really does deserve all the turmoil it gets for the continued lack of taste in music.

Yet Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Rihanna haven't

She's so demanding of them lol. 

Gaga still needs to win Album of the Year

Wasn’t someone supposed to deactivate on here if Taylor won? 

It was me vs @Dulo Peep and I was going to deactivate if Future Nostalgia won and they were gonna do it if Folklore won. No worries tho, they already deactivated

the USA deserves fascist adjacent leaders, militant cops, police brutality, an attempted coup at the capitol, the murder of innocent black people, the caging of children in cages at the border, growing hate crimes, growing wealth gaps, and more that i’m not even going to begin to get into, because the Grammys gave Folklore AOTY? because you can’t possibly fathom that some people think that Folklore is better than Future Nostalgia? 

 

People like you genuinely gross me out, like, truly. It’s an AWARDS show. That year after year becomes more irrelevant with dropping viewership. And you think a comment like this is appropriate? That the US deserves all the turmoil because of its music taste. 

 

Think before you type nasty, bigoted **** like this again. Gross.

Bless your heart. The only person who needs to think before they type is you; you're the one with the nasty attitude, sweetie. It's not that serious.

I am not the one saying that the US deserves all the “turmoil” it gets for a.... grammy. Weird behavior but sounds about white 

[Anderson123 38,611]

I need to give Folklore and Evermore another listen. They're good albums but so damn long. These are really Taylor's best but would've liked to see others win that one. Still, she deserves it.

[Emvee 8,441]

The Grammys have lost a lot of credibility over the past decade, so I’m not surprised.

I've already made my thoughts clear on this previously and I'd really appreciate people not giving me LMAO reactions for it. Pardon me if I think it's a bit excessive for an artist to win the award 3 times. To me, a one-time honour should be more than enough as it's that monumental. The way things were going on the night, I really thought it looked like the Grammys weren't going to give in to an album that was so obviously award bait but they just did it and for an artist who has already had this honour enough times previously. It also strikes me as bizarre that this is Taylor's first Grammy since 1989 and she lost all her other nominations that night. If they were going to give her her first award in a while, why not for a song, why a whole album but then not award her for any individual songs if the album as a whole was that good? They'd better not pull out this same nonsense for Evermore when it gets nominated because it'll be beyond a joke if they do it 2 years in a row. But as I also said previously, Taylor's now won the award for 3 different kinds of album now and I can't see her doing any other avenue than pop and acoustic for the rest of her career, so the chances of her winning AOTY again will be slim to none. That's the best way to look at it. But it's annoying to think that Taylor's achieved this with an album that wouldn't have even existed had it not been for the pandemic. It just seems unfair to those who had it all planned out. I'd be far more bitter if Gaga hadn't won anything though. And at least she still has one more award than Taylor and may well win another one with the upcoming C2C sequel.

Awards are given on an individual basis, based off the quality of the work. “Prior wins” does not factor in, whether positively or negatively. So that’s just another false narrative to judge her win on.

 

The only basis you can criticize folklore on is if you genuinely think another record was of higher quality.

 

Awards experience, sales, number of performances, other category wins, etc DO NOT MATTER.

Not my favorite style from her but after seing her live performance it's well deserved to me. And to all those LMAO reacters, you better get a life (or a new sense of taste )
