"To be eligible for the 2026 Grammys, new music must have been released between Aug. 31, 2024, and Aug. 30, 2025. Swift released The Life of a Showgirl on Oct. 3, 2025. This means that the album will be eligible to compete at the 2027 Grammys, along with all its songs, including "Ophelia." Swift did not release any new songs during the eligibility period, after putting out The Tortured Poets Department in April 2024, which received six nominations at the 2025 show."
"The 2026 Grammys will also mark the first time that Swift will not be nominated since 2017. That year, her Reputation single "Look What You Made Me Do" was eligible to compete and submitted for consideration, but did not garner any nominations. Every year since, Swift has been nominated for at least one award, adding more trophies to her mantle and making Grammys history. At the 2021 ceremony, Swift became the first woman to win Album of the Year three times when she took home the award for her 2020 album Folklore, following wins in 2010 for Fearless and 2016 for 1989. Three years later, she repeated the feat with her 2022 album Midnights, making her the first artist to win the Grammys' biggest honor four times."
The 2026 Grammy nominations will be announced on Nov. 7. The eligibility period for the 2026 Grammys runs from Aug. 31, 2024, to Aug. 30, 2025. Taylor Swift released The Life of a Showgirl on Oct. 3, 2025, placing that album and its songs into the 2027 eligibility window. Swift released no new music during the 2026 eligibility period; her previous album, The Tortured Poets Department, arrived in April 2024 and earned six nominations at the 2025 Grammys. Swift has won 14 Grammys overall, including four Album of the Year awards, and will not receive nominations in 2026.
