So those are my predictions! I really think this is Taylor Swift’s year! 1989 is a fantastic album, and I think all of the nominations are well deserved. Little Big Town has had such a great year with “Girl Crush” getting so much airplay, and I think it will win all the awards! I’m excited to see them being recognized so prominently.
Will you watch the Grammy’s? Who are you rooting for?
