Taylor Swift is competing for a new award
Before the 66th Grammy Awards, all eyes are on the pop star Taylor Swift Which may record an unprecedented achievement in the history of this event if it wins the Album of the Year award for the fourth time.
But win Swift The most prominent award requires excellence in a fierce competition dominated by women.
At the forefront of the competition is RnB singer Siza, who received the largest number of nominations, as she won nine of them thanks to her album “SOS,” which includes songs influenced by several musical genres such as pop, jazz, rock, and electro, most notably “Kill Bill.”
Also competing for Album of the Year are Janelle Monáe, Lana Del Rey, Olivia Rodrigo and Miley Cyrus, as well as indie rock band Boygenius.
This band, which consists of the female trio Phoebe Bridgers, Julianne Baker and Lucy Dacus, received six nominations.
Therefore, there are high chances that the most important award will go to a woman unless the surprise comes from jazz musician Jon Batiste, who has proven his presence at the Grammy Awards in recent years.
Batiste is the only man who succeeded in reserving a seat in the competition in two of the most prestigious categories: Album of the Year and Song of the Year, two years after his victory at the Grammy Awards, ahead of the elite pop music artists.
Jon Batiste is running in the race this year for his song “Butterfly,” which he composed for his wife, writer Silika Jawad, when she was hospitalized for treatment for leukemia. She was subsequently unable to watch his win in 2022.
Jon Batiste stressed in a statement to Agence France-Presse a few weeks ago that the best thing about being nominated again for the Grammy Awards is that she is with him this time.
