"Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl isn't up for any awards - this year, at least. The 2026 Grammys eligibility period ran from August 31, 2024, through August 30, 2025, bumping Swift's October 3 album into next year's ceremony. That window is how we get 2024 releases like Leon Thomas's Mutt competing for Album of the Year against Sabrina Carpenter's Man's Best Friend."
"The 2027 Grammy Awards will be aired by Disney's ABC instead of CBS after the corporation bought the show in October 2024. And the House of Mouse is planning a promotional blitz. "Our big sell was 'Here's what we can do on Disney,' Walt Disney Television alternative-TV chief Rob Mills told Vulture in May. "We can do Grammy-winner night on Idol."
The 2026 Grammy eligibility period ran from August 31, 2024, through August 30, 2025, excluding albums released after that cutoff. Taylor Swift's October 3 release The Life of a Showgirl falls outside that window and will be eligible for the next ceremony. Several 2024 releases, including Leon Thomas's Mutt and Sabrina Carpenter's Man's Best Friend, are competing for Album of the Year; Carpenter's Short n' Sweet preceded Mutt by about a month. Multiple artists released notable fall records — Cardi B, Rosalía, Doja Cat, Tame Impala, Gucci Mane, and Sudan Archives. Disney purchased the Grammys in October 2024 and will air the 2027 show on ABC with planned cross-promotional programming across its networks.
