Taylor Swift, folklore Album Review<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nI was so excited to see D Smoke nominated for Best New Artist and Best Rap Album. I let out a shriek of excitement when I saw his nominations were announced.I think it\u2019s proof that reality shows like \u201cRhythm & Flow\u201d still have the ability to catapult artists to stardom – even though he\u2019s been writing and performing for years.<\/p>\n
Dua Lipa is perhaps one of the biggest innovators of pop music in the past decade. With two Grammy\u2019s under her belt already, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if she takes home the award for Pop Solo Performance or Pop Vocal Album. Even though she\u2019s up against heavyweights like Taylor Swift and Harry Styles – Future Nostalgia<\/strong> is the quintessential pop album out of all the nominees.<\/p>\n
\nSo there you have it, some thoughts about the list – but we want yours as well. Leave a comment at the bottom of the post or get at us on social media to tell us what you think!<\/p>\n
