Because it came out in early October, the pop superstar's mega-blockbuster " The Life of a Showgirl " wasn't eligible for consideration for next year's ceremony (whose window ran from Aug. 31, 2024, to Aug. 30, 2025). So you'll have to wait until next fall to see the Recording Academy bestow Swift with her eighth nomination for album of the year, as indeed it's sure to do.
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.
Less than a month after January's Southern California wildfires destroyed his Altadena studio and musical instruments, Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes stood on the Grammy Awards stage to sing a revised version of Randy Newman's "I Love L.A." At the Feb. 2 ceremony, Goldsmith and his brother, Griffin - Dawes' drummer who lost his home in the fires - led an all-star band that included John Legend on piano.
