And made an effortless transition into the world of country, spending time in Nashville, playing at the Grand Ole Opry, and dominating the charts with 香蕉视频直播淚 Had Some Help,香蕉视频直播� his collaboration with Morgan Wallen.

What are the Grammys香蕉视频直播� country categories?

There are four main Grammy country music categories: best country album, best country solo performance, best country duo/group performance and best country song. The latter is awarded to the songwriters.

Each category recognizes five nominated works.

Who submitted in the country categories?

叠别测辞苍肠茅, Shaboozey and Post Malone have been submitted in all four of the major country music categories, including country album of the year for 香蕉视频直播淲here I香蕉视频直播檝e Been, Isn香蕉视频直播檛 Where I香蕉视频直播檓 Going,香蕉视频直播� and respectively. They are not guaranteed nominations, though each has submitted in several other categories that honor pop, R&B and Americana and are also vying for best album, record and song of the year recognition.

叠别测辞苍肠茅香蕉视频直播檚 has been submitted in the country song category. 香蕉视频直播�16 Carriages香蕉视频直播� is up for country solo performance and in the country duo/group performance category, 香蕉视频直播渓l Most Wanted,香蕉视频直播� her duet with has been submitted.

In the case of Shaboozey: 香蕉视频直播淎 Bar Song (Tipsy)香蕉视频直播� is up for the country song and country solo performance categories. 香蕉视频直播淢y Fault香蕉视频直播� with Noah Cyrus is up for country duo/group performance.

And lastly, for Post Malone: 香蕉视频直播淚 Had Some Help香蕉视频直播� with Wallen is up for country song and country duo/group performance. 香蕉视频直播淵ours香蕉视频直播� is his submission in the country solo performance category.

They will likely be up against some of the 2024 Country Music Association Awards香蕉视频直播� best country album nominees, which include Luke Combs香蕉视频直播� 香蕉视频直播淔athers & Sons,香蕉视频直播� Cody Johnson香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淟eather,香蕉视频直播� and Chris Stapleton香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淗igher,香蕉视频直播� as well as the other all-stars who香蕉视频直播檝e released albums that are eligible for Grammy nomination, among them.

Is 叠别测辞苍肠茅 likely to score a Grammy nomination in country categories?

叠别测辞苍肠茅 for 香蕉视频直播淐owboy Carter香蕉视频直播� for the 2024 CMAs, a decision called dispiriting 香蕉视频直播� and one that might reflect the ways in which the Nashville country music industry operates. Could the same happen at the Grammys?

香蕉视频直播淎 lot of times in country music, if you香蕉视频直播檙e releasing a country record, you need to 香蕉视频直播� you don香蕉视频直播檛 need to, but it香蕉视频直播檚 beneficial to you to 香蕉视频直播� invest in the community and really show yourself in that audience so the community feels an attachment to you,香蕉视频直播� Guyton said. 香蕉视频直播淣ashville is very, very, very 香蕉视频直播� it香蕉视频直播檚 a club almost, and it香蕉视频直播檚 a community. And people 香蕉视频直播� feel like they need to know you. And so that was definitely a factor. It still doesn香蕉视频直播檛 make it not disappointing.香蕉视频直播�

If 叠别测辞苍肠茅 receives a best country album Grammy nomination, she will become the second Black artist to do so 香蕉视频直播� Guyton was the first, for her 2022 debut,

Country musician who is both a CMA and Grammy voter, points to the differences between both award shows.

香蕉视频直播淣ashville in general is a community that, when you come to town, you kind of pay your dues. And I feel like that香蕉视频直播檚 the way that the system runs. That香蕉视频直播檚 how country radio runs,香蕉视频直播� . 香蕉视频直播淵ou saw Post Malone really ingratiate himself in the in the community here in Nashville, which I think contributed to him getting some of those looks. You know, Shaboozey was nominated (at the CMAs,) but you also saw him playing CMA fest and playing a bunch of these country festivals.香蕉视频直播�

In 叠别测辞苍肠茅香蕉视频直播檚 case, 香蕉视频直播淗er not being here (in Nashville) probably didn香蕉视频直播檛 help her case for getting nominated,香蕉视频直播� he continued. 香蕉视频直播淪he香蕉视频直播檚 done a really great job in helping to change the narrative in country music, and I would be surprised if she wasn香蕉视频直播檛 acknowledged in some respect at the Grammys. 香蕉视频直播� Grammy voting members are probably going to be a little bit more receptive to that, than people would be on the CMA side.香蕉视频直播�

a freelance music writer and Boston College adjunct instructor, said 叠别测辞苍肠茅 香蕉视频直播渙ften is a victim of tall poppy syndrome where she香蕉视频直播檚 so good, she香蕉视频直播檚 so great and so, like, on another level from everybody,香蕉视频直播� the gut reaction is to 香蕉视频直播渉onor something else.香蕉视频直播� Race is a consideration, too, where Black performers are rarely recognized in country categories.

香蕉视频直播淪he should get nominated because it is such an artistic achievement. You know, it is such a way for people to get a very crash course in the history of Americana,香蕉视频直播� she continues. 香蕉视频直播淏ut I also know how country feels about outsiders.香蕉视频直播�

On the flip side, Johnston argued that Grammy voters may attempt to course-correct the decision made by the CMAs, and ensure she receives nominations. 香蕉视频直播淚t would be a nice tip of the cap and a nice realization that, yeah, the music business is pretty big, and we have to get rid of the parochialism that can dominate,香蕉视频直播� she said.

What are Post Malone香蕉视频直播檚 Grammy prospects in country categories?

香蕉视频直播淛ust judging by country radio香蕉视频直播檚 reaction to him, I think he might have the best shot of the three,香蕉视频直播� said Johnston.

香蕉视频直播淩adio, it香蕉视频直播檚 such a crucial gatekeeper in the country music industry,香蕉视频直播� and Malone is playing the game, she says. 香蕉视频直播淭he album 香蕉视频直播� has so many cameos from, like, everybody in country music,香蕉视频直播� she added. 香蕉视频直播淭he possibility of him getting nominated just by the people he collaborated with is very high.香蕉视频直播�

Those include Tim McGraw, Combs and Wilson. 香蕉视频直播淚 think he has a better shot at receiving a nomination for country album of the year.

Johnston said she believes that were the inclusion of 香蕉视频直播淚 Had Some Help,香蕉视频直播� which features Morgan Wallen could be a hinderance at the Grammys, where past behaviors 香蕉视频直播� such as near two police officers and in a 2021 video 香蕉视频直播� mean 香蕉视频直播渉e is still a bit radioactive.香蕉视频直播�

Despite having some of the biggest songs and albums of the last few years, Wallen has never been nominated for a Grammy. (At February香蕉视频直播檚 show, his single 香蕉视频直播淟ast Night香蕉视频直播� in the best country song category, but did not win. Wallen wouldn香蕉视频直播檛 have received a trophy anyway 香蕉视频直播� it is given to the songwriters only.)

Overall, she sees Malone as a lock from some nomination 香蕉视频直播� particularly those that don香蕉视频直播檛 include Wallen.

What are 厂丑补产辞辞锄别测香蕉视频直播檚 Grammy chances?

As great as 厂丑补产辞辞锄别测香蕉视频直播檚 album is, it香蕉视频直播檚 much more likely that the country star will be recognized for his massive hit, 香蕉视频直播淎 Bar Song (Tipsy.)香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淚t kind of builds on the premise of says Johnston, pointing to game changing single.

香蕉视频直播淎 Bar Song (Tipsy)香蕉视频直播� hit No. 1 on both the country and all-genre charts, she points out. 香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 a cross-genre moment, and just a good song. It香蕉视频直播檚 also classically country.香蕉视频直播�

Shaboozey 香蕉视频直播渨as the first male Black artist to chart at No. 1 on country songs and country airplay,香蕉视频直播� she Johnston said, 香蕉视频直播淪o I think that香蕉视频直播檚 a good sign that, you know, radio embraced him.香蕉视频直播�

Perhaps the Grammys will do the same.
