Way Too Early 2025 Grammy Winner Predictions 

Way Too Early 2025 Grammy Winner Predictions 

Each year, once the Grammy nominees are announced, chaos ensues online. Although it’s not hard to predict who will be nominated, rest assured someone will be upset…and they haven’t even announced the winners yet. 

It was a big year to be a female pop artist, and for the first time ever, the Grammy Awards will feature an all-women nominated category in the Big Four. 

And if you know the Grammy’s, you know they pick favorites. But, this year, they’ve put multiple Grammy darlings in the same category…so how ever will they choose between Beyonce, Taylor Swift, and Billie Eilish

Of course, there’s also guaranteed to be some sort of snub. In this case, Jack Antonoff should be another shoo-in for Producer of the Year. He worked on Swift’s The Tortured Poet’s Department and Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet…yet no nom was thrown his way. 

And don’t forget about the uproar. It happens every year, where an artist who wasn’t even opn the radar steals an award right from a mainstream artist’s hands. 

This year is bound to leave a few fandoms heartbroken…with popular artists like Swift, Carpenter, Beyonce, Chappell Roan, and more, all up for major wins. 

Now that everyone’s finished freaking out about the nominations in general…it’s time to pick a few early winners. We’ll be updating you over the course of Grammy season…but here are some way too early Grammy winner predictions.

Record Of The Year: “BIRDS OF A FEATHER” by Billie Eilish

Record Of The Year celebrates both songwriting and production, which is why I’m giving this one to Billie Eilish. Not only was the song a smash hit, but it’s also a masterclass in production by Eilish and her brother, FINNEAS. 

Song Of The Year: “Please, Please, Please” by Sabrina Carpenter 

One of the breakout popstars of the year, Sabrina Carpenter has established herself as the next big thing. “Please, Please, Please” is proof that with the massively successful “Espresso” Carpenter isn’t a fluke.”  

Album Of The Year: BRAT by Charli XCX 

Potentially controversialbut the album led an entire movement this summer. It became eponymous with that bright shade of green. Everyone was an It Girl this summer because of BRAT. It should take home AOTY. 

Best New Artist: Chappell Roan 

She’s your favorite artist’s favorite artist for a reason. No one has had a bigger year than Chappell, no one has skyrocketed to fame quite like her in a long time. A rare talent deserves to be celebrated. 

Producer Of The Year: Daniel Nigro 

He’s the mastermind behind albums like Olivia Rodrigo’s SOUR and Chappell Roan’s “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess”. If anyone deserves to take home the award, it’s Nigro. I’ve never felt more confident about my Grammy winner predictions.

Best Pop Solo Performance: “Good Luck, Babe!” by Chappell Roan

If Eilish wins for the main awards, expect a nod to either Roan or Carpenter for Pop Solo Performance. I think Chappell Roan has the edge here, from her record-breaking festival crowds to the chart-topping hit that is “Good Luck, Babe!” 

Best Pop Vocal Album: Short N’ Sweet by Sabrina Carpenter 

Again, I think the “newbies” will dominate this year. It’s tough to deny the year that Carpenter is havingnot reward her for such would be criminal. 

Best Rap Song: “Not Like Us” by Kendrick Lamar

The song defines Drake and Lamar a pop culture feud. It’s both a commercial success and further proof that you don’t want to get in a rap battle with Kendrick.

Best Dance/Electronic Recording: “She’s Gone, Dance On” by Disclosure 

Isn’t it amazing when a heavily anticipated track does just as well as expected? Disclosure hung onto this masterpiece for years, but deserve the recognition now. 

Best Country Duo/Group Performance: “I Had Some Help” by Post Malone and Morgan Wallen 

I expect Wallen to earn his first Grammy nomination and take home the Grammy in this category. There’s no denying that this song is as successful as they get…and with Post Malone’s newfound country roots, I see this as the winner. 

Best Country Album: COWBOY CARTER by Beyonce

Controversial? For some. But oh, how amazing it would be to listen to the hoards complain about this nom. It’s a beautifully written testament to the genre…so why not? As far as Grammy winner predictions goes, this is a fun one.
