How the fuck did Olivia Rodrigo’s “Vampire” get so many Grammy nominations?

OP I was thinking the same thing. It’s a decent pop song but song of the year. And it’s more the arrangement of the production than the lyrics. What a sad state of affairs.

She's a Disney chick pushed by a major label company.

Don't look too deeply into Grammy nominations OP. I worked in the industry and it's all fueled by politics and connections, nothing to do with the actual music.

Olivia Rodrigo is so dull and boring. I guess I would need to be a moody 16 year old girl to enjoy her music.

Easy there granny. Relax and get your noon nap in and then maybe you can crank up the victrola and listen to some Rudy Valle records. Meanwhile the rest of us will live in 2023.

She was very elusive about rumors it was written about Taylor Swift, while seeming to enjoy the drama, so it probably got buzz that way.

It’s a grievance song in a woe-is-me era

[quote] Gone are the days when artists like Roberta Flack and Stevie Wonder and Fleetwood Mac were nominated.

Do artists of that quality even exist anymore?

Bolivia Rodriguez is my favorite recording artist!

I haven't bothered to watch the Grammy Awards in at least 8 years. It's basically a shit show of corporate crap and second level singers.

The real question is why does Taylor Shit continue to get nominated for mediocre songs? All her music sounds the same and it's so boring and generic.

Err no no awards for Queen Bey?

I'm glad to see Miley with so many noms, I dig that song - Flowers

Looks like its a battle between Taylor and Olivia

Miley is the epitome of bad contemporary music .

"Flowers" is the best pop song of the year, and that is faint praise.

I'm old.

R11 Beyoncé didn’t release new music this year. Her album came out last year and she won numerous Grammys for it earlier this year.

“Flowers” sounds like a social media experiment song and Miley’s voice sounds terrible.

Dua Lipa also received many noms for that Barbie song. Seriously?

When commercial pop offers nothing good you get these noms

Just read that Taylor Swift is now the most nominated artist of all time in the songwriting category. Astounding.

R5 The song is about a man you dumb cunt.

Oh thanks R15. I guess I'm way behind the times

Loved how at the last Grammy Bonnie Rait won for song of the year shocking everyone, it was well deserved. I hope Jon Baptiste does the same thing at next year's Grammy

It sounds like an early 80s throwback to me.

Rodrigo is awful. The chorus in that “Good for You” song makes me want to hang myself. Just awful and grating, from the production to her voice. I hope Lana Del Rey finally wins this year. Her album deserves it. They’ve fucked her over so bad in years past. Remember when Billie Eilish swept almost every category that year? Asinine.

--She checked off all the right, different virtue-signaling nomination boxes...???

There is absolutely no reason to even look at who was nominated for the Grammys anymore. It's all disposable, sound-alike garbage. Beyonce having all those Grammys when Fleetwood Mac has won exactly ONE is the biggest joke in music.

I'm glad that n word spewing redneck Wallen was snubbed

Did they nominate a man for any of the major awards besides Jon Batiste?

Almost all women nominated this year

I didn’t even know that Del Rey had a new album out and I’m a fan! What blog or service do I need to follow? What I like about the nominations is that it gives me a chance to see what’s currently popular. I know a Grammy nomination isn’t the best barometer but how else can I find out?

Happy for Lana. Another very good album from her.

R30, if you use a service like Apple Music or Spotify, it will notify you of new and upcoming releases by artists you follow. Or you can periodically check in on their official social media accounts (including YouTube).

Country singer Tyler Childers is nominated for Best Video for this gay-themed production starring DL fave Colton Hayes.
