Whew, A&W could give her her first Grammy  (Or at least another Grammy nod lol)

A&W is ICONIC, that song deserves a grammy.

I couldn't agree more 

Give her SOTY, AOTY and BAMA and I'm fine with it

[Pink Flamingo 17,169]

Among the four nominations the album could get, I think Lana's biggest competition is SZA.

 

soty: A&W and Kill Bill
aoty: sos and ocean blvd 

 

for best alternative music album and best alternative performance Lana could get those two.  i would be lying if i didn't say that i want her to win soty and aoty  of course.

[Pink Champagne 9,590]

Although it’s not my favorite album of Lana’s, I still love it and it’s miles above everything else for me 

[Candy Necklace 8,176]

I think Margaret is my least favorite song. Not a bad song by any means but it’s the one I find myself listening the least to. I also fell asleep listening to it in album release night  

[Eugene 26,672]

A&W has everything to be a Grammy winning song.

 

If a song as bad as Unholy won...

I hope they nominate her in the alternative categories, I'm sure Lana would have a chance to win. 

I feel like boygenius may be almost a lock to win the alternative categories at this point.  Their album is universally acclaimed and Phoebe Bridgers has a really good team. The Grammys may not let Lana into the alternative categories anyway though.

I never got the “indie” snubbing of Lana- this crap all happened after the trust fund baby claims- then everyone acted like she was a Katy Perry popstar and slated her for being “pop starved” in the words of the guardian   she’s more deserving than the those girls sorry!

Yeah I feel like Lana is often seen as too pop for alternative categories and too alternative for pop categories.

I totally forgot about Midnights, that album might get some nominations too

i really like sza but sos is a bad album and kill bill is kind of an annoying song i hate that this album is more successful because it feels so lazy compared to ctrl

if i had to give a grammy to A&W or Kill Bill i would give it to Lana... and i say that out of fanaticism, that reminds me of when Bad Guy won over NFR, i love billie, but the lyrics of NFR completely sweeps bad guy....

[Yameena Khatri 3,222]

Is 'Aaron Greene' supposed to be the dead guy she sings about in Dark Paradise? 

[WildMustang 14,774]

This album is really amazing, can’t stop listening

I loooove this type of analysis videos

 

Thank you for sharing this! The pre chorus of a&w reminded me of a Beatles song but I couldn’t put my finger on it!

[Pink Flamingo 17,169]

A&W is THAT bitch

Yeah this is a bad take and you should have kept it to yourself 😭😭😭 SOS is an AMAZING album. She will sweep at the Grammys.

I really think SOS deserves to get AOTY, it’s about time a woman of colour won again and that album did amazing commercially and critically. It’s a phenomenal album and it felt like the whole world was tuned in

I agree a WOC winning would be great but I think CTRL would’ve been the more deserving album of SZA’s But obviously we know Grammys don’t actually care about quality anyways so I think SZA winning would be great if Lana didn’t (which weirdly I think she has a chance, I def think she’s gonna get a nom) but also I could totally see them giving it to Boygenius, which I also wouldn’t totally mind. Honestly anything but Midnights and I’m a Taylor fan.
