Will Your Favorite Artist Win?
Every year many people sit in and watch the awards. Throughout the years there have been many good performances that have been so over the top it just brings in many new viewers. This year the Barbie movie brought in a lot of contenders. I believe that the Barbie movie will sweep the awards and take home most of them. I hope Lana Del Rey wins her first Grammy since it is so well deserved. Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift are sure to take home a couple of awards this year as well. There are also some new categories such as; best pop dance recording, best African music performance, and best alternative jazz album. This is certainly going to be one to watch on February 4th at 7 pm.
