Trying to win Grammys<\/a> and an Oscar simultaneously can be hard work. Just look at Taylor Swift<\/a>, who has been making the rounds, especially over the course of the last four weeks, in the hope of securing Grammy nominations for her album, The Life of a Showgirl, and her first Oscar nomination for “I Knew It, I Knew You,” which she contributed to the Toy Story 5 soundtrack.<\/p>\n

A timeline of her appearances, dating back to when “I Knew It, I Knew You” had its live debut in early June and picking back up after Swift’s Madison Square Garden wedding, could also serve as a blueprint for a rigorous campaign, waged by someone who knows the circuit well. <\/p>\n

Here’s a look at how Taylor Swift has mounted her joint Grammys and Oscars<\/a> campaign.<\/p>\n

June 9 \u2014 Toy Story 5 Premiere<\/p>\n

After the singer’s official website seemingly prematurely announced her involvement with something Toy Story related, Swift revealed “I Knew It, I Knew You,” a song that leaned more country than she has strayed in some years. Five days after the song’s debut, Swift performed it at the Los Angeles premiere of Toy Story 5 (where she also sang with Randy Newman), and her journey toward a nomination began.<\/p>\n

June 11 \u2014\u00a0Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction and Awards Ceremony<\/p>\n

Swift’s induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame would strike a note that would become familiar over the course of the campaign. A theme of this cycle’s messaging about Swift is that she’s a songwriter. Could this have to do with the fact that she’s never won Song of the Year at the Grammys? Possibly.<\/p>\n

Aug. 24 \u2014 The Icon Sessions at the Grammy Museum<\/p>\n

The next big performance from Swift came from an event with the Songwriters & Composers wing of the Recording Academy. <\/p>\n

Sept. 5 \u2014 Country Radio Interview<\/p>\n

With prerecorded segments about “I Knew It, I Knew You,” Swift reached back out to the world of country music radio, helping to propel that song higher in the country charts.<\/p>\n

Sept. 14 \u2014 78th Primetime Emmy Awards<\/p>\n

An entire Emmys comedy segment \u2014 which she appeared in \u2014\u00a0was dedicated to Swift’s celebrity persona and whether she would attend the awards.<\/p>\n

Sept. 25 \u2014 The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore<\/p>\n

After releasing The Life of a Showgirl, touting the album’s conciseness by saying there was not a forthcoming deluxe edition, Swift released a deluxe edition of The Life of a Showgirl a few weeks shy of Grammys voting. The release came with four new songs (which got an icy reception from critics) and a music video directed by Swift and starring Dakota Johnson and Colin Farrell. <\/p>\n

Sept. 27 \u2014 MTV Video Music Awards<\/p>\n

Someone “external” to the producing team of the MTV VMAs came up with the idea of creating the Artist Director Honor, and Swift was named the first recipient. <\/p>\n

Oct. 15 \u2014 “Patient Zero” Acoustic and Piano Versions<\/p>\n

Elongating the rollout of The Encore, the bonus versions of “Patient Zero” debuted on streaming.<\/p>\n

Oct. 17 \u2014 The Academy Museum Gala<\/p>\n

Swift took the stage at the event, unofficially the Academy’s kickoff to awards season and where you’ll find many Oscar hopefuls initiating their campaigns. There, she performed a selection of songs, including “Blank Space,” “The Fate of Ophelia,” and “I Knew It, I Knew You.”<\/p>\n

Nov. 18 \u2014 Country Music Association Awards<\/p>\n

Still to come, Swift has signaled that she’s planning to attend next month’s CMA Awards, where she’ll compete for Single of the Year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Trying to win Grammys and an Oscar simultaneously can be hard work.
