"For the first time since she was still a teenager, Taylor Swift won't be competing for a nomination at the 68th annual Grammy Awards. This is for the simple reason that the pop superstar didn't release any music during the eligibility window, which ran from August 31st, 2024, to August 30th, 2025. Her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, and its lead single, "The Fate of Ophelia," were both released this past Friday, October 3rd, missing the cutoff date by more than a month."
"As points out, Swift last sat out a Grammy ceremony in 2007, when she was just 17 years old. Her breakout single, "Tim McGraw," was eligible in the Best Country Song and Best Female Country Vocal Performance categories, but wasn't submitted for consideration. Since then, Swift has vied for and earned Grammy nominations in all but three years. She didn't receive nods in 2009, 2011, and 2017, despite being entered in two or more categories for each of those shows."
Taylor Swift will not be competing for nominations at the 68th annual Grammy Awards because she released no music during the eligibility window running August 31, 2024 to August 30, 2025. Her album The Life of a Showgirl and its lead single, "The Fate of Ophelia," were released on October 3, missing the cutoff by more than a month. Swift last missed a ceremony in 2007 at age 17; her breakout single "Tim McGraw" was eligible in two country categories but was not submitted. Since then she has been nominated in most years, excluding 2009, 2011, and 2017. She has won 14 Grammys, including four Album of the Year awards, and did not win at the 2025 Grammy Awards. An official release party film accompanied the album's release.
