Taylor Swift Won’t Dominate the 2026 Grammys for One Simple Reason – and It’s Not because of Haters
Taylor Swift's album release missed the 2026 Grammy eligibility period ending August 30, 2025, marking her first absence since 2018 despite 58 career nominations.
- On November 7, Taylor Swift, singer-songwriter, received zero nominations for the 68th annual Grammy Awards, as her album was released outside the eligibility window.
- Because the Grammy eligibility window ran from August 31, 2024 to August 30, 2025, The Life of a Showgirl, Taylor Swift's twelfth studio album, released on October 3, 2025, was ineligible.
- Swift's long Grammy history shows Taylor Swift has 58 Grammy nominations and 14 wins, including four Album of the Year awards, with her first absence since 2018 and only four misses in nearly two decades.
- Although not nominated, Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl can be submitted for the 2027 Grammy Awards and fans on social platforms reacted strongly to her 2026 absence.
- This year, Lady Gaga, Bad Bunny, Kendrick Lamar, and Sabrina Carpenter lead top categories as the Recording Academy re‑calibrated voting toward younger, contemporary tastes, observers say.
