Taylor Swift's Album Misses 2026 Grammy Cutoff
2 Feb
Summary
- Taylor Swift's album was ineligible for 2026 Grammy Awards.
- The album's release date fell outside the eligibility period.
- It is eligible for the 2027 Grammy Awards.
The 2026 Grammy nominations, announced in November 2025, notably excluded Taylor Swift despite her consistent success with the Recording Academy. Her twelfth album, The Life of a Showgirl, released on October 3, 2025, failed to secure any nods for the upcoming awards ceremony.
Swift's absence from the 2026 nominations is due to the album's release date falling outside the Grammy eligibility period, which spans from August 31, 2024, to August 30, 2025. This technicality means The Life of a Showgirl will be eligible for consideration at the 2027 Grammy Awards.
Despite this year's ineligibility, Swift has a decorated Grammy history, with 14 wins out of 58 nominations. She is the only artist to have won Album of the Year four times, marking a significant career achievement.
