Taylor Swift and Beyoncé have faced off in the Album of the Year category at the Grammys only once, when Swift… Brave He beat Bey I am Sasha Fierce at the 2010 ceremony. The duo could meet again on February 2, 2025, if The Department of Tortured Poets and Cowboy Carter receive nominations for album of the year.
What are your chances? On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast (listen below), Katie and Keith discuss the newly released 2025 Grammy predictions from Billboard Awards editor Paul Grein. Taylor and Beyoncé aren't the only contenders, of course: Grein also thinks Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande, Chappell Roan, Chris Stapleton, Tyla and Sabrina Carpenter (with an album not yet out!) could join them among the eight nominees.
