Taylor Swift didn’t take house a single Grammy on Sunday night time.
Even so, she managed to set a report.
The 2025 Grammy Awards show meant a night full of winners, regardless of the somber undertone to the occasion.
In lieu of an award, Taylor obtained a doubtful honor — making an unique listing for what some would possibly name “snubs.”
After six Grammy nominations, Taylor Swift took house zero

That makes her certainly one of solely ten artists within the historical past of the Grammys to obtain six or extra nominations with out scoring a single win.
Some are calling this a snub — although most “snubs” imply zero nominations, not zero wins. Others are calling this one other just-plain-impressive milestone underneath Taylor’s belt.
Whether or not it’s a “snub” or not, Taylor Swift obtained 5 Grammy Award nominations for The Tortured Poets Division, her eleventh studio album.
That album smashed sales records in spring 2024, although it did obtain a mixture of crucial opinions. (“Who’s Afraid of Little Outdated Me” is an exceptional monitor, nonetheless)
Taylor additionally obtained a single Finest Pop Duo nomination for “Us,” a Gracie Abrams collaborative single from The Secret of Us.
Make no mistake, Taylor Swift holds a singular distinction in Grammy Awards historical past
Thus far, Taylor Swift is the one music artist in historical past who has received Album of the Yr 4 instances.
Album of the Yr is actually the best honor on the Grammys.

In the meantime, Taylor was not alone in having many nominations and 0 wins.
Each the incomparable Billie Eilish and likewise Submit Malone obtained quite a few nominations. Billie obtained seven for Hit Me Laborious and Delicate, and a nomination for Finest Pop Duo/Group Efficiency for “Guess,” a Charli XCX track. (Positively the perfect duo of the yr, it doesn’t matter what the Grammy Awards suppose)
Submit Malone obtained eight nominations. Three of which had been from The Tortured Poets Division, as he labored with Taylor on “Fortnight.” Neither he nor Billie obtained any Grammy Awards on Sunday.
Different singers have seen quite a few nominations and 0 wins

It occurs to the perfect singers — genuinely. The nominations alone present how revered somebody’s music is throughout the trade. Which is why we are able to’t actually name nominations with out wins a “snub.”
Total, we’d do higher to focus upon the constructive from the Grammy Awards. Chappell Roan took house an award for Finest New Artist. Whereas she’s not new to music, 2024 was her breakout yr for hundreds of thousands of latest followers. The award was well-deserved.
