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 91裸聊视频淲here I91裸聊视频檝e Been, Isn91裸聊视频檛 Where I91裸聊视频檓 Going,91裸聊视频� 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91裸聊视频檚 has been submitted in the country song category. 91裸聊视频�16 Carriages91裸聊视频� is up for country solo performance and in the country duo/group performance category, 91裸聊视频渓l Most Wanted,91裸聊视频� her duet with has been submitted.

In the case of Shaboozey: 91裸聊视频淎 Bar Song (Tipsy)91裸聊视频� is up for the country song and country solo performance categories. 91裸聊视频淢y Fault91裸聊视频� with Noah Cyrus is up for country duo/group performance.

And lastly, for Post Malone: 91裸聊视频淚 Had Some Help91裸聊视频� with Wallen is up for country song and country duo/group performance. 91裸聊视频淵ours91裸聊视频� is his submission in the country solo performance category.

They will likely be up against some of the 2024 Country Music Association Awards91裸聊视频� best country album nominees, which include Luke Combs91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频淔athers & Sons,91裸聊视频� Cody Johnson91裸聊视频檚 91裸聊视频淟eather,91裸聊视频� and Chris Stapleton91裸聊视频檚 91裸聊视频淗igher,91裸聊视频� as well as the other all-stars who91裸聊视频檝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 91裸聊视频淐owboy Carter91裸聊视频� for the 2024 CMAs, a decision called dispiriting 91裸聊视频� and one that might reflect the ways in which the Nashville country music industry operates. Could the same happen at the Grammys?

91裸聊视频淎 lot of times in country music, if you91裸聊视频檙e releasing a country record, you need to 91裸聊视频� you don91裸聊视频檛 need to, but it91裸聊视频檚 beneficial to you to 91裸聊视频� invest in the community and really show yourself in that audience so the community feels an attachment to you,91裸聊视频� Guyton said. 91裸聊视频淣ashville is very, very, very 91裸聊视频� it91裸聊视频檚 a club almost, and it91裸聊视频檚 a community. And people 91裸聊视频� feel like they need to know you. And so that was definitely a factor. It still doesn91裸聊视频檛 make it not disappointing.91裸聊视频�

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 91裸聊视频� 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.

91裸聊视频淣ashville in general is a community that, when you come to town, you kind of pay your dues. And I feel like that91裸聊视频檚 the way that the system runs. That91裸聊视频檚 how country radio runs,91裸聊视频� . 91裸聊视频淵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.91裸聊视频�

In 叠别测辞苍肠茅91裸聊视频檚 case, 91裸聊视频淗er not being here (in Nashville) probably didn91裸聊视频檛 help her case for getting nominated,91裸聊视频� he continued. 91裸聊视频淪he91裸聊视频檚 done a really great job in helping to change the narrative in country music, and I would be surprised if she wasn91裸聊视频檛 acknowledged in some respect at the Grammys. 91裸聊视频� Grammy voting members are probably going to be a little bit more receptive to that, than people would be on the CMA side.91裸聊视频�

a freelance music writer and Boston College adjunct instructor, said 叠别测辞苍肠茅 91裸聊视频渙ften is a victim of tall poppy syndrome where she91裸聊视频檚 so good, she91裸聊视频檚 so great and so, like, on another level from everybody,91裸聊视频� the gut reaction is to 91裸聊视频渉onor something else.91裸聊视频� Race is a consideration, too, where Black performers are rarely recognized in country categories.

91裸聊视频淪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,91裸聊视频� she continues. 91裸聊视频淏ut I also know how country feels about outsiders.91裸聊视频�

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. 91裸聊视频淚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,91裸聊视频� she said.

What are Post Malone91裸聊视频檚 Grammy prospects in country categories?

91裸聊视频淛ust judging by country radio91裸聊视频檚 reaction to him, I think he might have the best shot of the three,91裸聊视频� said Johnston.

91裸聊视频淩adio, it91裸聊视频檚 such a crucial gatekeeper in the country music industry,91裸聊视频� and Malone is playing the game, she says. 91裸聊视频淭he album 91裸聊视频� has so many cameos from, like, everybody in country music,91裸聊视频� she added. 91裸聊视频淭he possibility of him getting nominated just by the people he collaborated with is very high.91裸聊视频�

Those include Tim McGraw, Combs and Wilson. 91裸聊视频淚 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 91裸聊视频淚 Had Some Help,91裸聊视频� which features Morgan Wallen could be a hinderance at the Grammys, where past behaviors 91裸聊视频� such as near two police officers and in a 2021 video 91裸聊视频� mean 91裸聊视频渉e is still a bit radioactive.91裸聊视频�

Despite having some of the biggest songs and albums of the last few years, Wallen has never been nominated for a Grammy. (At February91裸聊视频檚 show, his single 91裸聊视频淟ast Night91裸聊视频� in the best country song category, but did not win. Wallen wouldn91裸聊视频檛 have received a trophy anyway 91裸聊视频� it is given to the songwriters only.)

Overall, she sees Malone as a lock from some nomination 91裸聊视频� particularly those that don91裸聊视频檛 include Wallen.

What are 厂丑补产辞辞锄别测91裸聊视频檚 Grammy chances?

As great as 厂丑补产辞辞锄别测91裸聊视频檚 album is, it91裸聊视频檚 much more likely that the country star will be recognized for his massive hit, 91裸聊视频淎 Bar Song (Tipsy.)91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淚t kind of builds on the premise of says Johnston, pointing to game changing single.

91裸聊视频淎 Bar Song (Tipsy)91裸聊视频� hit No. 1 on both the country and all-genre charts, she points out. 91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 a cross-genre moment, and just a good song. It91裸聊视频檚 also classically country.91裸聊视频�

Shaboozey 91裸聊视频渨as the first male Black artist to chart at No. 1 on country songs and country airplay,91裸聊视频� she Johnston said, 91裸聊视频淪o I think that91裸聊视频檚 a good sign that, you know, radio embraced him.91裸聊视频�

Perhaps the Grammys will do the same.
