From 2017 to 2020 was a rather quiet period for Taylor Swift at the Grammy Awards, when she did not bring home a single golden gramophone despite still receiving 6 nominations. Including the indifference towards the cult album Reputation.
4 years of silence and historic victory
In 2016, she won 3 awards for the album 1989: Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album and Best MV for MV Bad Blood. But what followed was 4 years of “dryness” at the Grammys.
In the documentary Miss Americana, Taylor Swift heard the manager announce that the 2019 Grammys almost ignored her in the panel. nominations: “In the main categories, album, record, song, she was not nominated”. Then that person comforted her: “Reputation is a good record”.
Taylor replied: “It’s okay, I’m fine. I just need to make a better record”. When the call ended, the female singer felt sad and looked into the distance.

The fact that the Grammys that year only nominated Reputation in a small category, Best Pop Vocal Album, was recognized by the press and people. admiration is seen as estrangement and indifference.
Critics were shocked because they had praised this album with many beautiful words. The public was surprised because Reputation was a very commercially successful album, the best-selling album in the world in 2018. As for the song < a i=3>Delicate in the album is considered worthy of the Song of the Year nomination.
“Call it whatever you want: disregard, neglect, rejection. The Recording Association is not impressed with Taylor Swift’s 6th studio album”, the newspaper Los Angeles Times once wrote.
And Lover, the 7th studio album, also fell into a slightly better situation when Taylor received 3 nominations but came out returned empty-handed.
By 2021, when Taylor released 2 albums in the previous year of social distancing, she received 6 nominations. And fans were thrilled when she failed in smaller categories one after another, then burst into tears when she was named in the most important category: Album of the Year for album Folklore.
This win is historic because it helps Taylor become the first female artist to win 3 Album of the Year awards with albums Fearless (2010), 1989 (2016) and Folklore (2021). She also achieved the same results as legends Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder and Paul Simon.
