It’s All Out War Between Taylor Swift and Beyoncé at Grammys 2025, Scary Prediction Reveals Slim Chances for ‘Cowboy Carter’

Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department’s firm chances might mean that Beyoncé might have to wait for bagging her first album of the year

What a year this has been for Taylor Swift! Everything the pop icon has touched has turned to gold. Be it her Eras Tour, one which saw her cross the $1 billion networth threshold, or The Tortured Poets Department, an album that screams Taylor Swift, but still packs something new for the fans.

That isn’t the only album to write home about this year though. In a year in which the likes of Billie Eilish and Future & Metro Boomin have set the floor on fire, Beyoncé is showing everyone that she still got it, with Cowboy Carter. But it still remains to be seen whether the album will help the 43-year-old win a Grammy that keeps eluding her.

Taylor Swift looks certain to taste success at Grammys’ 2025 with The Tortured Poets Department

The Tortured Poets Department is a special album for Taylor Swift. Releasing not long after she capped off a successful Eras Tour, the album hit the shelves this April. And her fans were more than seated for it. The Rolling Stone described the album as one which combined ‘intimacy of Folklore and Evermore with the synth-pop gloss of Midnights.’

That was quite the sensation amongst fans, sending them into a journey down her life story once again. From songs like My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys and I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can) give a glimpse at the pain she has had to face in her failed attempts at love.

References to her former longtime beau, Joe Alwyn, and her current love, Travis Kelce, were also abundant in the album (would it really be a Taylor Swift album if she didn’t share her pain, and joy). And fans have really dug into everything that she has done.

And in what seems like a befitting end to a wonderful journey, the album which set the ball rolling at the Grammy’ 24, with the Lover singer officially announcing the onset of her 11th Studio album, it looks certain that she might walk with another Album of the Year award a year later.

TTPD might sound the death knell for Beyonce’s hopes of ending her drought

The Rolling Stone believes that The Tortured Poets Department has all it takes to go the distance in Grammy 2025, bagging the Album of the Year award. But it might mean more heartbreak for Beyoncé, who is looking to end the drought for a Grammy in the category.

Cowboy Carter is another fan favorite, with fans swerving to the tunes of Ya Ya and II Most Wanted, featuring Miley Cyrus. The album had a stellar time on the roster before TTPD came along, with it debuting at No. 1 on Billboard 100.

Yet its dominance was meant to be short-lived. And fans of the Love on Top singer are afraid that she won’t be able to clean off arguably the only blemish on a largely successful career.

Though Rolling Stone’s prediction gives Cowboy Carter the status of an album that should go the distance, it doesn’t back the album to actually do it. Seems like it might be close, yet so far for the Otherside singer.
