As 2024 was an extraordinary year for music, it also introduces numerous formidable contenders.
Opinions vary widely on who deserves which awards Here are my predictions for what promises to be a memorable and possibly contentious Grammy Awards ceremony.

Song of the Year Grammy doesn’t actually honor the performer of the winning song. Instead, it goes to the person or people who wrote the song
"Not Like Us," by Kendrick Lamar, released on May 4, 2024, marks his fourth diss track aimed at rapper Drake In this song, Kendrick defends the West Coast against Drake’s contentious use of A.I. vocals from 2Pac and Snoop Dogg in his own track. Lamar expresses that this song embodies his identity as a man, highlighting his morals, values, beliefs, and the principles he stands for.

Album of the Year award is the most prestigious Grammy there is The category honors an entire LP, from the first track to the last, and everything about the production of the album’s sound.

Best pop duo/group performance recognizes artistic excellence in a duo, group, or collaborative vocal or instrumental pop performance The entire group or collaborative performance, rather than the presence of a lead vocal performance.
"Die With a Smile," featuring Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars, marks their return to music after a 2 to 3 year hiatus The song was unexpectedly announced just one day prior to its release on August 15. The most impactful collaborations frequently emerge as delightful surprises, in my opinion.
