44:20 let me remind you, we're getting a Sabrina and Chappell duet for A Nonsense Christmas December 6th (so it's very likely they'll do a duet at the Grammys)
@@deborahhenderson3151 yeaaaa i feel like if it was any other award show, it would've been fine (like the VMAs which were made for these things). the Grammy's was a bit of a different story
Agreed. My fellow rice cakes and their opinions on Cowboy Carter don’t really matter because it wasn’t made for them. And to think Beyonce has been rewarded enough from the Grammys is ignorance of the true situation.
Now I actually need the mega mashup of the pop girlies with kendrick... like pls universe make this happen, a greater woman wouldn't beg... but I'm not, I AM BEGGING WITH MY WHOLE HEART
eh, isn’t that Zack’s whole thing? That just because he’s a swiftie, he can still have clear headed thoughful critical opinions of her? I don’t see why others can’t say the same thing.
@@maryem9225 literally the thesis statement to his whole channel 😂 and the only reason people say it is so other people understand they’re not just hating for the sake of it (as is so common nowadays) and are providing thoughtful criticism as someone who IS a fan.
@ um well wait now how do you know that 😭 now what makes me roll my eyes are people who say BLANK are the same people who say BLANK. Now, that you can’t possibly know.
21:40 I think something people fail to be aware of the beyonce situation is that she's never talked, or demeaned the award shows and she's actually very gracious towards them, now ofc jay z last year doing his stunt kind of reveals the closed doors conversations, however, when is beyonce award discussion, is always everybody talking and assuming things about her and she being silent. In the AMC situation, the only thing she said is that she didn't feel welcomed, while it was dolly parton, zach bryan, and everyone talking about how she should've done xyz, saying she was album hopping (which is true, but also isn't bad, but i digress), while giving nominations to F1-Trillion after he was also album hopping. I don't wanna give too much credit to beyonce however i think her stance of silence is very smart since it's the audience connecting the dots themselves, using beyonce as a example. Why black women haven't win AOTY in decades, while taylor has 4, the racist history of country and the AMC, are all things that naturally connect how supposedly one of the best black artists doesn't get the same recognition to their white counterparts. And obviously she isn't a victim of social structures in the same level you and I are, and there are discussions to be had about beyonce's usage of black liberation, however I think is all about the bigger picture, and I hate people play ignorance towards the nuances of this discussion. edit: lolll just after writing this and unpausing, zach addressed all of this 😭, I should stfu and listen and not let the stan instict take over me
Tbh, sza should win over taylor. She had amazing year. I love taylor but midnight not really ground breaking like folkore, 1989 or fearless. If grammys want to give her award, bring SOTY or ROTY.
Is Madelaine also a journalist? It's a serious question, I started watching the podcasts fairly recently and only the ones on youtube, so I donttknow much about her.
People keep forgetting this is the music BUSINESS. As in, profit, accolades, and praise matter. It is actually an artists job to go out and seek as much profit as possible for their label. So bored of the conversation that space needs to be made for others to win. That being said, the grammys are racist and a deeper conversation needs to be had about that. I'll clap for a Beyoncé win because honestly how many mediocre man albums have gotten aoty that did NOT deserve. TTPD deserves but the absolute havoc it would cause would implode the world so give it to someone else and we all know it was the true winner in our Swiftie hearts 💕
I loveee that you guys discussed the politics behind the Grammys. I'm seeing a lot of online discourse about Beyonce not deserving AOTY because she has a million noms and wins.... Like, that's not the point !! I personally want Midwest to win AOTY but i would still be clapping and cheering if Cowboy Carter won! Would that be a corrective award like Zach said? Yes. But i would not mind at all.
The problem I have with Beyonce's album was that it did not do well on the country airplay and regular streaming charts at all. That to me is an indication that it was the pop side fans that bought the album because of the artist but after the initial release it dropped of fast. Texas Hold 'Em peaked at 33 at the country airplay charts. Means no one was listening to her country album. Compare that to Shaboozey, his single is only the 11th ever that had 7 weeks or more at the nr 1 country airplay spot.
@@mikedebruyncountry radios admitted they did not want to spin Texas Hold Em bc they view beyoncé as un-credible as a country artist and don't like her, which is what madeline and zach are pointing out. it's the subtle racism that bricks her out the country sphere, Shaboozey is allowed in because he never bad-mouthed country listeners for throwing slurs at him.
I have an perfect answer to the opening number question: Chappel sings Hot to Go and on the last chorus Kendrick breaks in with O-V-hoe part of Not Like Us. “H-O-T-T-O-V-hoe o-v-hoe, now step this way, step this way . . .”
Okay hear me out - Texas hold ‘em X Florida!!! “So you pack your life away just wait out the sh-storm back in Texas … this ain’t Texas, ain’t no hold ‘em….”
22:08 Correction, Beyonce has won in the General Field before. She won Song of the Year for Single Ladies in 2010. That's her only win in the General Field.
I think winning a Grammy for Taylor is validation. Its when she feels she's getting it right. Its also now become a competition of how much she can win & what records she can break & she's hungry for that
Zach your skin (and makeup if you are wearing any) is just so glowy and beautiful here. Would love to see a full skincare (morning and night) and makeup routine in a video! Madeline, love your Speak Now eyeshadow! Makes your eyes pop beautifully!
Unpopular opinion, I think Taylor will win. It will cause drama, and drama is good for business (Its also a fantastic album... but I hope Chappell sweeps).
The way I thought DEMI LOVATO when the guy made that comment about never shutting up about winning a Grammy and then Zac just said it I completely lost it LMFAO 😂
the image of kendrick on stage with the girls is sending me. tho bc he has the super bowl days later, i don’t think he’s performing at the grammys at all
To that last person: -Weeknd isn't submitting anymore because of his tantrum when After Hours got 0 noms -Bruno is still submitting, literally is nominated for SOTY this year. -Drake... well what has he made recently that's grammy worthy?
blinding lights is the most streamed song of all time, and also was in 2021. it really made zero sense that he wouldn't get any nominations. many black artists have spoke out against the grammy's in the past few years (nicki minaj, frank ocean, the weeknd, & more) because of the lack of recognition of the accomplishments of black artists in the music industry. so similarly to the beyonce statement in the video, maybe don't assume the weeknd was throwing a tantrum?
@@AsheshDubey hmmm so why is it a “tantrum”when black artists suggest that their highly acclaimed work deserves merit / consideration by arguably the main prestigious institution in the entertainment industry… The Weeknd is among the most popular musicians in the world and a pioneer in alternative R&B but he’s only ever won in the notoriously ‘black categories’ like urban contemporary album (whatever tf that means). The fact that After Hours wasn’t nominated for a single category despite being one of the biggest albums that year was definitely ridiculous.
How is the Weeknd a whiner for feeling hurt that the biggest album of 2020 got zero recognition, but Taylor isn’t a whiner for being upset that reputation got snubbed in the MAJOR CATEGORIES??😂
Divas I must inform you that the Sabrina-Chappell collab is happening sooner than you think! On December 6th Sabrina’s Christmas special comes out on Netflix and Chappell is in it!!
- most of Teenage Dream era nominations were actually lost to Lady Gaga (The Fame Monster/Bad Romance), but the next year Firework did lose to Adele (Rolling in the Deep) - Bey actually has won in the General Field once: Song of the Year for Single Ladies. but she was not there to accept the award because she was about to perform. what a weird timing. - when Kelsea was mentioned out of all people I was ijboling... it's so random and ridiculous 🤣 like why her
This episode convinced me to finally listen to Renaissance. I’ve only listed to Cuff it and that’s BY FAR better than As it was so I definitely agree that it’s better than Harry’s House (those are the only songs I’ve heard from either album lol)
i would actually say that the seed of taylor hateration was planted when she won times person of the year a few months before the grammys. but the grammys escalated it
Here is what I like about Hit Me Hard And Soft I think it's a really cohesive and interlinked record that tells a whole story in itself . It is kind of like Speak Now for Taylor It may not be a drastic change but it is a solidifying moment . I would love to hear people's critiques . Lets be respectful .
@imawakemymindisalive13 not all her songs are whisper songs . Eg - Birds of a feather But that's what makes her unique . You can't just say to Taylor , enough with the diaristic songs . It's her style
cowboy carter is deserving of album of the year. but you can make an argument about many other albums this year. the lost for lemonade hurts but 25 was HUGE. i am sasha fierce was a moment but was not her best. BUT the fact that she did not win for renaissance and self titled just proves that they are doing it on purpose.
the beyonce temper tantrum comment really threw me??? because she mentioned the grammy's ONCE in a lyric?? not to mention the lemonade and renaissance snubs which were VERY real. you have thirty minutes
Houdini was a banger of a track - mostly just for that weird gritty synth right in the intro and the pulsing baseline. Totally agree that it should’ve gotten at least a nom for something
I think Apple could have a wonderful performance and maybe starting with Charli and a tree w/ a single Brat green colored apple. Then Charli slowly reaches up grabs the apple and takes a bite 🤷♀️
I've always said that Beyoncé's limit of success is below the likes of someone like Taylor swift, etc because of racism and it's extremely sad to see how many people dismiss and talk down on Cowboy Carter and her as an artist heavily because of that.
Could you explain, please, why Beyonce not winning AOTY is a racism, whereas Taylor, the greatest songwriter of the 21st century, not winning SOTY (lost 6 times) is not even a topic of discussion?
@@highperformer5532 I never stated that her not winning is racism, although it would definitely contribute to it. Also, with Taylor, she has a track record of submitting her less well-written songs for SOTY, but i can somewhat understand how cardigan and all too well not winning seems strange.
@@jaydot_2576 YBWM, SO, BS, Lover, Cardigan, ATW10 were nominated for SOTY and they all are excellent songs. She didn't win not because of the disrespect towards her, but simply because each time there was a better song according to the jury. And it's ok. Even ATW10 lost to an absolutely well-deserving song, though I forgot its title. The same with Beyonce. She lost AOTY 4 times not because of the old white male racists in the committee. Cowboy Carter's odds to win now are 17/2. If I assume that previously her odds were around 5/1 each time than her not winning even once is like 40%. Bottom line, not a big deal, no cospiracy, or racism, or whatever.
I just... is the Grammy's not about the quality of the music over everything else? Why should not pursuing a huge PR campaign or promoting the album hurt your chances? I see nothing wrong with Beyoncé dropping a great album and then dipping out without doing music videos, interviews, or dropping re-releases to keep it on the charts. Of course playing the game will help your chances, but to go so far as to say someone *shouldn't* win because they *don't* play the game seems like twisting the purpose of the award - a merit of excellence.
While I agree that Cowboy Carter was not promoted after its release in the traditional sense, Beyoncé used it as a vehicle for sponsorships that weave into the American fabric. For instance, the Superbowl commercial (pre-release), Yaya was used for Olympics promotion, Bodyguard for her whiskey brand, Bodyguard for the Election, halftime performance on Netflix, Levi Jeans deal, lyft/uber partnership for 16 Carriages and Spaghetti, and others. Also, saying it doesn't "deserve" album of the year is not fair: it's the 2nd highest rated critically this year and impacted cowboy and country culture and music. It undoubtedly raised the profile of several black country artists, one of which who now has the 2nd longest running number 1 song of all time. Regardless of taste in the album, the impact is undeniable. If the album doesn't "feel" like album of the year in the same vein as Renaissance, Lemonade, or self-titled, I can't disagree with that. I just wanted to point out facts that have been ignored. An album of the year win would not be a consolation for past snubs. It would be deserved based on success, realized impact, and creative ingenuity. 🙏

I've always said that Beyoncé's limit of success is below the likes of someone like Taylor swift, etc because of racism and it's extremely sad to see how many people dismiss and talk down on Cowboy Carter and her as an artist heavily because of that.
Could you explain, please, why Beyonce not winning AOTY is a racism, whereas Taylor, the greatest songwriter of the 21st century, not winning SOTY (lost 6 times) is not even a topic of discussion?
@@highperformer5532 I never stated that her not winning is racism, although it would definitely contribute to it. Also, with Taylor, she has a track record of submitting her less well-written songs for SOTY, but i can somewhat understand how cardigan and all too well not winning seems strange.
@@jaydot_2576 YBWM, SO, BS, Lover, Cardigan, ATW10 were nominated for SOTY and they all are excellent songs. She didn't win not because of the disrespect towards her, but simply because each time there was a better song according to the jury. And it's ok. Even ATW10 lost to an absolutely well-deserving song, though I forgot its title.
The same with Beyonce. She lost AOTY 4 times not because of the old white male racists in the committee. Cowboy Carter's odds to win now are 17/2. If I assume that previously her odds were around 5/1 each time than her not winning even once is like 40%. Bottom line, not a big deal, no cospiracy, or racism, or whatever.
My face when I heard Kendrick & The Pop Girls. Kendrick, I think you just found your superbowl guests
"hit me hard and FLOP"
apple music just announced Billie as artist of the year, HMHAS as album of the year and BOAF as hit of the year
but sure!
If Charli performs Apple then tomato tomato tomato.
WHY. When there’s 360, sympathy, girl so confusing, & Von Dutch
Rise & Fall is easily the AOTY in my
opinion. TTPD is my 2nd choice.
Just when I thought I had nothing fun to listen to while getting ready for work:)))
in the nick of time ...
I love this podcast so much!!! Only clapping and cheering for the snakes 🐍⭐️
thank you divaaaaa
I just... is the Grammy's not about the quality of the music over everything else? Why should not pursuing a huge PR campaign or promoting the album hurt your chances? I see nothing wrong with Beyoncé dropping a great album and then dipping out without doing music videos, interviews, or dropping re-releases to keep it on the charts. Of course playing the game will help your chances, but to go so far as to say someone *shouldn't* win because they *don't* play the game seems like twisting the purpose of the award - a merit of excellence.
While I agree that Cowboy Carter was not promoted after its release in the traditional sense, Beyoncé used it as a vehicle for sponsorships that weave into the American fabric. For instance, the Superbowl commercial (pre-release), Yaya was used for Olympics promotion, Bodyguard for her whiskey brand, Bodyguard for the Election, halftime performance on Netflix, Levi Jeans deal, lyft/uber partnership for 16 Carriages and Spaghetti, and others. Also, saying it doesn't "deserve" album of the year is not fair: it's the 2nd highest rated critically this year and impacted cowboy and country culture and music. It undoubtedly raised the profile of several black country artists, one of which who now has the 2nd longest running number 1 song of all time. Regardless of taste in the album, the impact is undeniable. If the album doesn't "feel" like album of the year in the same vein as Renaissance, Lemonade, or self-titled, I can't disagree with that. I just wanted to point out facts that have been ignored. An album of the year win would not be a consolation for past snubs. It would be deserved based on success, realized impact, and creative ingenuity. 🙏
Wouldn’t it be promotion for ttpd that Taylor created and put an entire new set of the songs and scenes on her world tour?
Not to overshare but listening to your content helped me through a massive panic attack earlier this week, I’m so glad I found your channel and podcast 🫶🏻 You are hilarious

LOL Kendrick and the pop girlies would be awesome!
I think AOTY is going to go one of two ways- chappell sweep or Taylor with TTPD. Let's not discredit Taylor's massive impact ❤
