Grammy Nominations 2016

On Monday December 7th, the nominations for the 2016 Grammy awards were announced. The show will be held in Los Angeles on Febura

1989 as an album having been released after the cut off time closed for the the 2015 Grammys is only now eligible for nominations and the album certainly got the nominations this year.

A total of 7 nominations came Taylor's way on Monday including what is known as the big 3 when it comes to nominations, Album, Song and Record of the Year.

Taylor's Nominations for the 2016 Grammy's are as follows:

Album of the Year: Taylor Swift, 1989
Song of the Year:  "Blank Space"
Record of the Year: "Blank Space"
Best Pop Vocal Album: 1989
Best Pop Solo Performance: "Blank Space"
Best Pop Duo/Group Performance: "Bad Blood" Featuring Kendrick Lamar
Best Music Video: "Bad Blood"

The last time Taylor had this many nominations was in 2010 for her album Fearless which picked up the Album of the Year prize and made Taylor the youngest person to ever win Album of the Year. RED was also nominated for Album of the Year, however it lost out to Daft Punk. 1989 being the massively successful album that it is has a very good chance at winning in 2016 and giving Taylor her 2nd Album of the Year award.

This year's nominations bring her total nominations to 29, and should Taylor win both Song and Record of the Year it will be the first time she has won either of these awards after having nominations in these categories in previous years. "You Belong With Me and "Shake It Off" have both been nominated for Song of the Year previously while "You Belong With Me", " We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" and "Shake It Off" have all previously been nominated for Record of the Year.
All other categories are either a first or 2nd time nomination with Taylor having never won in any of the categories before.

In 2010 when Taylor had 8 nominations she came away with 4 awards so here's hoping she can do it again in 2016.

In 2015, Shake It Off was nominated for 3 awards and was unsuccessful so the album as a whole should do a lot better in 2016.

The last time Taylor won a Grammy was in 2012 for Best Song Written For Visual Media with her Hunger Games track "Safe and Sound feat. The Civil Wars".

All the best for the 2016 Grammy's Taylor. I hope you get all of your awards, they are all so well deserved for such a masterpiece
