YES! because between the two, it deserves it more. And also because it would perfectly align with the 3-album cycle pattern of Taylor getting AOTY, which is such a satisfying coincidence
Am I the only person who thinks midnights deserved AOTY? Lol. I love TTPD as well but it’s not as sonically cohesive and a bit more bloated than midnights. Which I think academy votes would vote against for those reasons. But yeah I always see hate for Midnights which confuses me because it’s such a great synth pop album. But hey, to each their own.
@@meganperry9949yess babe i couldnt agree more!! I love ttpd but MIDNIGHTS DESERVED AND GOT THE AOTY. i think people who say midnights stole ttpd’s aoty are just ones who wants to be ‘different’ ttpd couldnt be here if it wasnt for midnights. Midnights paved the way
I really, truly respect how objective you are in your commentary and criticism (even for your faves). I’m not a swiftie at all but I really do appreciate your takes on pop culture events/moments/issues and really do hope you continue to bring this level of objectivity in your analysis in the future!!!
Rise and Fall absolutely deserves AOTY, it’s the only one that’s been steady on the charts and the convo, a year long hit. Not just a few months of hype.
Happy Birthday to our Scorpio Diva!!! You’ve provided me with so much love and laughter over the years, today is your turn!!!! Here is allllll the love for you!!!
When you said "Radical Optimism - in your dreams" i lost it, that were some of the best 3 minutes of my year, i haven´t laughed like that in a really long time. Like it´s true, obviously, but say it out loud just hit different. Thank you for saying that.
i sometimes think if midnight didn't win AOTY, will TTPD actually have a chance this year or is the competition too stacked regardless? TTPD has quickly risen as my favorite TS album of all time, and i can also recognized that it will not resonate with anyone who does not put themselves in the headspace of Taylor the narrator, or even the faceless narrator telling us her story via the standard album.
Been thinking about this a lotttt. Midnights was my fave until TTPD, but I think TTPD deserves AOTY even more. But I won't be sad if it doesn't win bc there's so many artists that deserve it this year.
great video, zach! just fyi zach bryan refused to submit his work for consideration this year “based on feeling that he does not feel comfortable with awards shows making music competitive”
I'm NOT hoping for a Chappell Roan sweep, because that's the last thing she wants. But with her luck, that's exactly what will happen. lol. And Happy Birthday Zach!
it's crazy that we can basically say "with her terrible luck, she's gonna get a full sweep at the most prestigious music awards" about a mainstream artist lol
I think she does want it but just keeps putting up this weird “I don’t care I’m so cool” front. Like she could’ve stopped being submitted if she really wanted to
Charlie is doing a anti-grammy campaign as far as I'm concerned. Like, she needs to cross her fingers and pray to god that the academy hasn't heard Spring Breakers. Cause they won't nominate an album with a song describing how she is gonna set the grammy's carpet on fire cause she hates them so much.
Glad that you remembered Kendrick with Not Like Us. He had his moment, the song is well written and everybody knows he's dissing Drake who has had his share of shade towards the Grammys in the past so maybe this could push Kendrick towards a win lol If Good Luck, Babe! manages to win something I hope it's Record of the Year because Pop Solo would only recognize Chappell for her performance and Dan Nigro DESERVES his flowers for this song. The production on that track is immaculate! ❤

Happy Birthday Zac Your opinions prove to be so accurate . It shows the amout of research and thought you put into each sentence . And that needs to appreciated .
Happy Birthday!! I think your critical opinions are really well thought out and unbiased. I share a lot of similar opinions with you but I just can't find the words to explain them well like you do. super good video and very interesting to hear your thoughts! :)
the opinion on Billie's album is WILD but ok. for me that body of work is truly a masterpiece, the lyrics, her vocals (she do innovates here going to vocal places that she hasnt done before so freely), the SOUND ENGINEERING by Finneas is crazy and absolutely unique, something that i personally have never heard before, and there is an important factor - only 2 human beings were responsible for this: herself and Finneas (not that albums produced by an army of people could not be as deserving but this is something that i could apply in case of a tie, i guess)
also the fact that billie is directly involved in every single part of the making of this album is so impressive. it's a beautiful album. I do not trust the taste level of someone who "doesn't get billie's music" like... is always masterfull, brilliant, moving and beautifly executed
@@braaogs6 100%, i dont agree with what they said at all. billie has always created a new album experience and innovated a new sound in all of her albums
Still mad that charli and her team submitted guess for best remix(or whatever the category name was) like i understand billie is Grammy darling but girl so confusing was a moment and yes the Grammys won't understand the lore behind it but the song itself is too good
haha! After watching this video, my imaginary battle was that Taylor might have been campaigning for Sabrina to win Grammys cause she's aware she might not get any.
Happy Birthday, Zach!! 🎉 I hope you're enjoying some well-deserved rest. I've been watching since you had 5k subscribers, and I've loved everything you have made since! As a musician and a fan, I always appreciate your nuanced, honest takes. Thanks for another great video!
Happy birthday babe ❤ Also I have seen so fucking many posts about you on every fucking Taylor related subreddit. Some are positive but people do seem to have very strong opinions about you lol. I don't see anyone else's just you babe. I'll call it success 🎉
Here's my two cents. I think Chapel could get album of the year, but I highly doubt it. I think she will get New Artist, and maybe best song but I don't see her winning Album of the Year. I will also be surprised if Ariana is nominated because personally, every song kind of sounds the same and doesn't have any emotion or heart to it. I think it's between TTPD and Billie's album. If there was a surprise nommie I would say Sabrina Carpenter, she's really came a long way.

Happy Birthday❤My favourite honest Swiftologist! Honestly the only one who doesn’t sugarcoat everything about Taylor, but offers constructive criticism! Regarding the Grammys, they are going to be extreme! There will be some tremendous disappointments! Personally, I believe the most deserving artists are Chappell, Taylor, and Sabrina. Chappell is THE vocalist of this year. She has a remarkable style that I was not expecting but I love it. TTPD is a lyrical masterpiece, obviously, so that is an AOTY deserving album. Espresso is definitely the Record of the year. It was EVERYWHERE. And it is just an incredible pop song. On the contrary, I think Birds of a Feather is a gorgeous song as well, leading me to believe that it’s also Song of the Year worthy. And then again, Good Luck, Babe, a beautiful masterpiece should also be heavily considered.
Taylor will obvious get a nomination. As for Sabrina and Chappell, they give me Gaga and Katy vibes where Chapell is obv Gaga and Sabrina is Katy where Sabrina might have the commercial success and also some critical acclaim but some voters may feel she isnt as artistic as her competitors, record of the year goes to Production and given that Billie Eilish released, it will be hard for her to get it. People keep saying Sabrina will be sweeping but she is the most likely to go with zero, she will share votes with Tay and Ari,
It’s weird, cause all of these American artists don’t really have an impact where I live. Top 50 of my country really is just trap music and kpop, nothing else! Taylor almost never charts here, Billie now and then, like a regular person on my country has no idea of what’s popular right now in the us
A Bruno Mars ROTY , SOTY and Pop duo performance sweep could be possible cause Bruno is such a grammy darling remember what happened with Leave the door open
I love your videos so much for how thoughtful, analytical, and funny you are. Pop culture and music gets such a bad rep for being air headed and empty but I love that you prove time and time again how it’s so much more than that. Can’t wait for the stacked Grammys!
Happy Birthday! Also, I do agree with you about everything you just said, but I have a feeling I'm the only person who doesn't like Espresso at all🙈 pleeease let the "Good luck, babe" win record of the year category🙏
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZACH!!! Also wanted to mention Chappell was quoted in an interview kinda jokingly saying she doesn’t want to win! Curious how that’ll affect her “I'm kind of hoping I don't win, because then everyone will get off my a-“
Happy birthday!!! I will wish everyone who wronged(or just hate) you and/or Madeline and Taylor have a terrible day. Including but not limited to scooter, Eminem, Scott flopchetta, the Katy Perry dance who though she ate, Joe Jonas, the people of dark blue Tennessee, the guy from the unpopular Taylor swift opinion evolution of a snake episode who straight up just said he hates Taylor Swift and whoever else you can think of.
Happy Birthday Zach!!!!!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳 thank you so much for gifting US on your birthday with another incredibly thoughtful and entertaining as always video - you are truly one of my favourite RUclipsrs ever. I will forever adore your objectivity, your passion, your HUMOUR, and your true honest raw intelligence. You really inspire me in so many aspects of my life, and I cannot wait to be here next year, for your next birthday, and be able to have seen even more videos of yours by that time 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 I hope you have / had the best day ever
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZACKKK ❤️🚨‼️💋 I love the hat 😍 I don’t usually buy much, but I think I might need to be an incognito swiftologist Also hit me hard and soft I 1000 % agree
To be honest, Ariana deserves album of the year. It is my fav and the fact it came at the beginning of the year and is still relevant, even more relevant than TTPD, Hit me hard and blah blah, Beyoncé's whatever was her album (too boring for me). Brat was a fun experience, Short n' Sweet won't be nominated to me too
My big should-wins are: AOTY: Eternal Sunshine ROTY: Espresso SOTY: Good Luck Babe! New Artist: Chappel Roan Music Video: We can't be friends and Not Like Us definitely in a rap category, maybe Guess for the collab or remix category
I hope Chappell wins the top 4 as well. When I first heard of her I thought she was hype but I listened to her album and it gave me LIFE. I am in awe of her talent. She most definitely deserves big wins at the grammys. It's been a long time since I've been so impacted by an artist. Pink pony club literally made me cry the first time I heard it. Her creative genius is worthy of so much recognition.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZACH!! I've been a viewer for officially one year since I found your channel when I stumbled upon your 1989 reaction and for that I am grateful 💋 💋💋 have the best birthday ever!
I think if Beyoncé really wanted one that bad she'd do the footwork. If you know how the system works and you refuse to work it to get what you want, even if it's because you find it unfair, that's stupid, and she's not stupid. She has proven time and time again that she'll do whatever it takes to get what she wants. I think at the end of the day, she's like "Too much work and I don't really need this to be bigger than anyone who actually gets the award"
@@monsemora2964she writes her music. There’s always this fake argument that she is not original. The reasons she has a lot of credits is because she uses samples, and gives recognition to anyone that’s helped even if it’s the smallest contribution. She literally wrote a majority of destiny’s child earliest hits

U are so funny for this. Very Taylor of u indeed😭💸
nodaysoffevenonhisbirthdayologist
the 2025 grammys are gonna be HEATED
REAL
So true
I read HEATED as HATED which to be honest, will probably be true.
even the sister fandoms will come for eachothers throat 😭
it's gonna be a warzone for a WHILE
i wish taylor can give back the AOTY from midnights just so they can crown it to TTPD this year... there should be an option like this lmao
YES! because between the two, it deserves it more. And also because it would perfectly align with the 3-album cycle pattern of Taylor getting AOTY, which is such a satisfying coincidence
Wait… can’t she win it because she holds AOTH for Midnights??
@@saraa7841no she can still win, but she sure as hell shouldn’t
Am I the only person who thinks midnights deserved AOTY? Lol. I love TTPD as well but it’s not as sonically cohesive and a bit more bloated than midnights. Which I think academy votes would vote against for those reasons. But yeah I always see hate for Midnights which confuses me because it’s such a great synth pop album. But hey, to each their own.
@@meganperry9949yess babe i couldnt agree more!! I love ttpd but MIDNIGHTS DESERVED AND GOT THE AOTY. i think people who say midnights stole ttpd’s aoty are just ones who wants to be ‘different’ ttpd couldnt be here if it wasnt for midnights. Midnights paved the way
I really, truly respect how objective you are in your commentary and criticism (even for your faves).

Agreeeeeed.
This album is sooooo amazing
I agree!! It’s also the only one with zero skips
100% agree about Eternal Sunshine. Was so shocked at the album and had it on repeat for 2/3 months exclusively.
she has such a bad past relationships with the grammys tho cause of the mac miller situation and cancelled sweetener performance
@@burnt.nortontrue she’s already been snubbed in the past so..
I like Gracie's music a normal amount but I just LOVE your sassiness about her I can't stop laughing everytime😭😭
No because I absolutely love Gracie but I LOVE LOVE Zach’s „hatred“ of her😭😭
@@majakrmer6797 yesss hahaha exactly

Happy birthday, our favorite ologist's favorite ologist!
How can you guys like this awful hateful person?
Merch so cute you willingly sacrificed your hair to show it off. Love it

The same album that knocked Tortured Poet's Departments off the No.1 spot in the UK. Keep laughing cus you're a clown.
i sometimes think if midnight didn't win AOTY, will TTPD actually have a chance this year or is the competition too stacked regardless?

great video, zach! just fyi zach bryan refused to submit his work for consideration this year “based on feeling that he does not feel comfortable with awards shows making music competitive”
"This is a song that you hear at the straight bar when they're playing flip cup." GET HIS ASS
I'm NOT hoping for a Chappell Roan sweep, because that's the last thing she wants. But with her luck, that's exactly what will happen. lol. And Happy Birthday Zach!
it's crazy that we can basically say "with her terrible luck, she's gonna get a full sweep at the most prestigious music awards" about a mainstream artist lol
if she didn't want it she wouldn't have submitted.. I think she's healing right now. she's in her element
She’s coming to terms with her fate lol
I think she does want it but just keeps putting up this weird “I don’t care I’m so cool” front. Like she could’ve stopped being submitted if she really wanted to
I agree!! Her being strategic and not saying anything about the grammys really makes me think she wants one! @@thefrogfactor3943
"I'm looking at you, Dua Lipa" ZACH 😭
I gasped when I heard this and ran to the comments 😭he's so unserious
Completely agree with ariana grande's. It shocked me on my first listen.
Happy Birthday!
And I’m just excited to see your follow-up video after the Grammy’s airs 🍿
Charlie is doing a anti-grammy campaign as far as I'm concerned. Like, she needs to cross her fingers and pray to god that the academy hasn't heard Spring Breakers. Cause they won't nominate an album with a song describing how she is gonna set the grammy's carpet on fire cause she hates them so much.
tbh i love her for writing that song. like name dropping the exact date and location 😭
😭😭😭😭
i hope she performs it there tbh
Apparently she actually called and requested her album stay in electro not pop category so she can pretend she’s too cool to care but she does
Glad that you remembered Kendrick with Not Like Us. He had his moment, the song is well written and everybody knows he's dissing Drake who has had his share of shade towards the Grammys in the past so maybe this could push Kendrick towards a win lol
If Good Luck, Babe! manages to win something I hope it's Record of the Year because Pop Solo would only recognize Chappell for her performance and Dan Nigro DESERVES his flowers for this song. The production on that track is immaculate! ❤
Lowkey wish Beyoncé's SOTY submission was *16 CARRIAGES*
HAPPY BIRTHDAY WOOP WOOPPPPP
I think the albums that I’m rooting for the most is the rise and west of a Midwest princess, eternal sunshine, short n sweet, and ttpd to an extent

aoty category is gonna be a bloodbath and I CAN'T wait to see it
14:28 I think you’re right here, the Grammys probably won’t want to pick between ttpd, cc and hmhas so chapel is a very neutral and good pick
If Chappell doesn't win for Album of the Year we will RIOT. It was the first album in a long time for me with not one single skip. ❤
Good for you. Have fun on your one person riot

Happy Birthday king, ur the best swiftie content creator
Something was fighting an imaginary battle with me saying Taylor brought Sabrina to dull Olivia's movie premiere 😂😂
So unhinged haha
haha! After watching this video, my imaginary battle was that Taylor might have been campaigning for Sabrina to win Grammys cause she's aware she might not get any.
We Can't Be Friends was my song of the year. The video, the emotions, the live performances...it made me cry
If Chappell doesn’t go home with best new artist, you will see me picketing outside of the venue🫶✨
Peak comedy would be that Best New Artist loss being followed by an AOTY win 🤪
Happy Birthday King Swiftologist

This year´s Grammys will be bloodbath, i´m very interested how it will go, who will be snubbed and who will win.
Happy birthday, Zach! I hope you are having a fun and magical day away. 🥳
Happy Birthday❤My favourite honest Swiftologist! Honestly the only one who doesn’t sugarcoat everything about Taylor, but offers constructive criticism! Regarding the Grammys, they are going to be extreme! There will be some tremendous disappointments! Personally, I believe the most deserving artists are Chappell, Taylor, and Sabrina. Chappell is THE vocalist of this year. She has a remarkable style that I was not expecting but I love it. TTPD is a lyrical masterpiece, obviously, so that is an AOTY deserving album. Espresso is definitely the Record of the year. It was EVERYWHERE. And it is just an incredible pop song. On the contrary, I think Birds of a Feather is a gorgeous song as well, leading me to believe that it’s also Song of the Year worthy. And then again, Good Luck, Babe, a beautiful masterpiece should also be heavily considered.
Taylor will obvious get a nomination. As for Sabrina and Chappell, they give me Gaga and Katy vibes where Chapell is obv Gaga and Sabrina is Katy where Sabrina might have the commercial success and also some critical acclaim but some voters may feel she isnt as artistic as her competitors, record of the year goes to Production and given that Billie Eilish released, it will be hard for her to get it. People keep saying Sabrina will be sweeping but she is the most likely to go with zero, she will share votes with Tay and Ari,
Happy birthday friend!!
I love Gracie’s music and honestly just think it isn’t for everyone🙂 AND THATS OKAY🫶🏼 Maybe her next record will be her Short n’ Sweet moment for you!
happy birthday zach🎉 and thank you for our daily bread 😍 can’t wait to watch another undoubtedly insightful video of yours
Love the gracie abrams jokes (or facts)😂 good vid. Happy bday
I see swiftologist sunday, i say well yes amen. Happy birthday🎉
Happy birthday, Zach!
It’s weird, cause all of these American artists don’t really have an impact where I live. Top 50 of my country really is just trap music and kpop, nothing else! Taylor almost never charts here, Billie now and then, like a regular person on my country has no idea of what’s popular right now in the us
Happy Birthday fellow Scorpio!!!❤️❤️❤️. I love your voice and could listen to you all day!!!!❤❤
A Bruno Mars ROTY , SOTY and Pop duo performance sweep could be possible cause Bruno is such a grammy darling remember what happened with Leave the door open
Happy birthday Zach! Thank you for your thoughtful and funny critiques and kikis this year! Have an amazing day 💕🩷🩵
Happy birthday !! Love the merch 💙 congrats on all your successes this year, every bit is so well deserved!!
Ahhh HAPPY BIRTHDAY diva, hope you had and have a glorious day 🎉💖👏
Happy Birthday, Zach!!! Love ya !
I love your videos so much for how thoughtful, analytical, and funny you are. Pop culture and music gets such a bad rep for being air headed and empty but I love that you prove time and time again how it’s so much more than that. Can’t wait for the stacked Grammys!
Happy Birthday, Swiftologist!
Im so excited!!! There is so much fantastic music and artist this year! 🎉
Happy Birthday! Also, I do agree with you about everything you just said, but I have a feeling I'm the only person who doesn't like Espresso at all🙈 pleeease let the "Good luck, babe" win record of the year category🙏
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE EVER!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZACH!!! Also wanted to mention Chappell was quoted in an interview kinda jokingly saying she doesn’t want to win! Curious how that’ll affect her “I'm kind of hoping I don't win, because then everyone will get off my a-“
my album of the year is definitely Midwest princess and second is short and sweet
I love listening to your commentary. It’s so soothing for some reason.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZACH, I LOVE YOU! ❤🎉❤ I have to have that white hat!
Happy birthday!!! I will wish everyone who wronged(or just hate) you and/or Madeline and Taylor have a terrible day. Including but not limited to scooter, Eminem, Scott flopchetta, the Katy Perry dance who though she ate, Joe Jonas, the people of dark blue Tennessee, the guy from the unpopular Taylor swift opinion evolution of a snake episode who straight up just said he hates Taylor Swift and whoever else you can think of.
I'm kind lost what did Eminem do😅
QUEEN 🤣🙌
im just begging eternal sunshine wins something even if its for yes and 😭
Yes please Ariana deserves to win 😭
happy birthday to our favorite ologist!! I love your videos ❤❤
Happy Birthday Zach!!!!!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳 thank you so much for gifting US on your birthday with another incredibly thoughtful and entertaining as always video - you are truly one of my favourite RUclipsrs ever.
I will forever adore your objectivity, your passion, your HUMOUR, and your true honest raw intelligence. You really inspire me in so many aspects of my life, and I cannot wait to be here next year, for your next birthday, and be able to have seen even more videos of yours by that time 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
I hope you have / had the best day ever
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZACKKK ❤️🚨‼️💋
I love the hat 😍 I don’t usually buy much, but I think I might need to be an incognito swiftologist
Also hit me hard and soft I 1000 % agree
To be honest, Ariana deserves album of the year. It is my fav and the fact it came at the beginning of the year and is still relevant, even more relevant than TTPD, Hit me hard and blah blah, Beyoncé's whatever was her album (too boring for me). Brat was a fun experience, Short n' Sweet won't be nominated to me too
My big should-wins are:
AOTY: Eternal Sunshine
ROTY: Espresso
SOTY: Good Luck Babe!
New Artist: Chappel Roan
Music Video: We can't be friends
and Not Like Us definitely in a rap category, maybe Guess for the collab or remix category
Happy Birthday 🎉. The Grammy's are gonna be a bloodbath I'm literally scared for next year.
happy birthday zack! thank you for introducing thoughtfulness to my pop music algorithm, ily
I hope Chappell wins the top 4 as well. When I first heard of her I thought she was hype but I listened to her album and it gave me LIFE. I am in awe of her talent. She most definitely deserves big wins at the grammys. It's been a long time since I've been so impacted by an artist. Pink pony club literally made me cry the first time I heard it. Her creative genius is worthy of so much recognition.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY OUR DIVAAA 🥳🎂 I AGREE, BLUE LOOKS REALLY GOOD ON YOU
Happy Birthday 🎂 Looking forward putting this merch on my Christmas list
25:27 love Not Like Us! "hide the bible if god watching" does something to my brain
one of my favorite things about sundays is that we get a whole new video from swiftologist! thank u zack❤
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZACH!! I've been a viewer for officially one year since I found your channel when I stumbled upon your 1989 reaction and for that I am grateful 💋 💋💋 have the best birthday ever!
Thank you diva!! 🩷🩷
Happy birthday!! 🎉
33:21 I screeched with laughter at this part 😆I'm so sorry 🙈
I think if Beyoncé really wanted one that bad she'd do the footwork. If you know how the system works and you refuse to work it to get what you want, even if it's because you find it unfair, that's stupid, and she's not stupid. She has proven time and time again that she'll do whatever it takes to get what she wants. I think at the end of the day, she's like "Too much work and I don't really need this to be bigger than anyone who actually gets the award"
I personally don't get her music and her i personally love more songwriters than somebody that sings songs written by others we have alot of those
@@monsemora2964she writes her music. There’s always this fake argument that she is not original. The reasons she has a lot of credits is because she uses samples, and gives recognition to anyone that’s helped even if it’s the smallest contribution. She literally wrote a majority of destiny’s child earliest hits
happy birthday Zach! 💜 thank you for bringing us delicious excellence from your lovely brain twice a week 🌊
your merch is giving vintage apple and I LOVE it 😂
happy birthday zachary sending you so much love and light
