CNN<\/a><\/p>\nDon\u2019t believe those who try to convince you that the Grammys dislike Taylor Swift simply because she didn\u2019t make this year\u2019s list of nominees.<\/p>\n
Although the release \u2018The Life of a Showgirl\u2019 wasn\u2019t to everyone\u2019s taste, its absence from the announced nominations on Friday was due to technical nuances, not the artistry of the work.<\/p>\n
To be eligible for the 68th Grammy Awards competition, the release had to come out between August 31, 2024 and August 30, 2025.<\/p>\n
\u2018The Life of a Showgirl,\u2019 released on October 3, simply wasn\u2019t eligible to participate in the competition.<\/p>\n
Of course, this did not stop some viewers from suddenly getting upset about the alleged omission.<\/p>\n
Context and the upcoming Grammy cycle<\/p>\n
As a reminder: Swift has 58 Grammy nominations and 14 wins in her career.<\/p>\n
In 2024 she made history as the first artist to win the Album of the Year award four times, thanks to her 2022 album \u2018Midnights\u2019.<\/p>\n
So don\u2019t despair: roughly a year from now, fans can expect new announcements about the 2026 ceremony.<\/p>\n
The 2026 Grammy Awards ceremony will be held live at the Crypto.com Arena in Downtown Los Angeles on Sunday, February 1.<\/p>\n
