Will Taylor Swift finally win the Song of the Year Grammy after a historic losing streak?
Many people still don’t understand the difference, but no, Song of the Year is not the same as Record of the Year. The former is given to the best written song, whatever that means, while the second goes to the best total production. Only songwriters win Song of the Year at the Grammys, while mixers, engineers, artists and producers take home Record of the Year. What constitutes one of the most beautifully written tracks in any given period is, of course, up for interpretation. There is usually some overlap with Record of the Year, though they don’t often feature all the same nominees. Predictions Billie Eilish – “Happier Than Ever” or “Therefore I Am” Chris Stapleton – “Starting Over” Giveon – “Heartbreak Anniversary” H.E.R. – “Fight For You” or “Damage” The Kid Laroi & Justin Bieber – “Stay” Olivia Rodrigo – “Drivers License” Silk Sonic – “Leave the Door Open” Taylor Swift – “Willow” Hits by artists like The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber, Olivia Rodrigo, Bruno Mars and Taylor Swift will probably compete for both Record and Song of the Year, while a handful of the tracks that will likely be up for the former might not feel to voters like the usual Song of the Year winner.
