Spartacus 4,485 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) "Song of the Year is awarded for a single or for one track from an album. This award goes to the songwriter who actually wrote the lyrics and/or melodies to the song. 'Song' in this context means the song as composed, not its recording. The Song of the Year award is presented to the songwriter(s) of a single song." ย Gaga is such a gifted songwriter and my dream is for her to win a Song Of The Year Grammy. However, I just realized it's probably not gonna happen anytime soon. ย I was just looking at all the previous SOTY winners and I was SHOCKED to see Taylor Swift has never won SOTY.ย How can that be?ย Everyone knows that Taylor's THE greatest songwriter to have ever existed. No one in history has been able to write a song as well as TayTay.ย Elton John and Bernie Taupin who?ย So it's mind boggling to think Tay's never won SOTY (especially knowing she's about to win Album Of The Year for a FORTH time next year). TEN studio albums over the past SEVENTEEN years, from not one of, but THE most brilliant songwriter in history, and not one of those albums has produced a song worthy of SOTY (or ROTY)? They didn't nominate Taylor for the Songwriter of the Year Grammy either?? ย If Tay hasn't snagged one yet, can Gaga win SOTY?

Anderson123 35,907 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) She should've won for Shallow, Always Remember Us This Way, The Edge of Glory and Record of the Year for Bad Romance or Poker Face.

RAMROD 104,620 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Probably.

nkta 309 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Was she ever nominated for SOY? Probably, for Shallow and BTW? Shouldโve won for Shallow 100% Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstertoronto 8,773 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Is she didnโt win for โShallowโ which was universally beloved, critically adored, massive hit, and was embraced across genres, I think it will be hard. It was also such a cultural moment and a massive comeback for her. I really donโt get why that didnโt happen.ย 13 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Songwriter of the year is an award for writers in the background, the ones who write for/with other artists- think Hilary Lindsey for Joanne. It was specifically made to recognize those whose sole job is that of a writer. Taylor Swift doesnโt qualify as she is the artist. Also, Gaga and Taylorโs Grammy standings are quite comparable. Gaga has 3 nominations from 7 albums, Taylor has 7 nominations from 10 albums. Gaga getting a song of the year win before Taylor isnโt anywhere out of the realm of possibility.

It was a statement song and a cultural moment as well. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noir 14,954 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) If she has another Shallow/Poker Face/BR moment then I donโt see why not.ย Also not to sound ignorant but whatโs the difference between record of the year and song of the year??

Anyway, yeah, it's possible I guess I feel like the last time I heard anything about the Grammys was when Jackson Maine pissed himself in ASIB though so I really don't care about those awards if I'm honestย All of Gaga's songs are my SOTY 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Record of the year is awarded to the performer and/or producers and any technical staff that worked to make the song. Song of the year is awarded to the songwriter or composer. So, Gaga could be nominated for either tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOT 2,706 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I'd have Bad Romance down as song of the century, but then I really mean track not song, so yeah, I can see where they're coming from. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
