Taylor Swift is one of the most influential, revolutionary and decorated music artists in the business. With countless accolades and a collection of fan-favorite albums in her portfolio, Swifties couldn’t wait to hear what Taylor was nominated for at the 2026 Grammy Awards. But when the Recording Academy didn’t say her name during its November 7, 2025, nominations announcement, fans wondered whether she was nominated for anything.
Below, find out whether or not Taylor was nominated at the Grammys for her 2025 album, The Life of a Showgirl.
The 2026 Grammy Awards will take place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California, on February 1, 2026.
The 2026 Grammy Awards will be live on CBS and available to stream on Paramount+.
No, Taylor was not nominated for any 2026 Grammy Awards. She released her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, on October 3, 2025, which missed the Recording Academy’s eligibility window.
In order to be nominated for a Grammy Award next year, an artist had to have released music between August 31, 2024, and August 30, 2025. Therefore, Taylor’s new album was not eligible for a nomination. The “Fate of Ophelia” artist was not snubbed by the Recording Academy.
Taylor has discussed how crushing it can feel for an artist not to receive an award. During a 2015 interview with Grammy Pro, per E! News, the “Karma” hitmaker revealed how she handled losing the 2014 Album of the Year award.
