## Key points

- Ella Langley could reach four major Grammy categories.
- Eight albums will be nominated from 683 eligible entries.
- Taylor Swift and Paul McCartney could add to their records.

## Summary

Predictions for the 2027 Grammy Awards suggest Ella Langley could be nominated in four major categories, including album of the year, after a rule change expanded eligibility for best new artist. The nominations are due to be announced on 16 November, and a four-category showing would make Langley the first country crossover artist to achieve that feat since Bobbie Gentry in 1968.

Eight albums will be nominated for album of the year, from 683 eligible entries covering releases from 31 August 2025 to 28 August 2026. The predictions include albums by Langley, Taylor Swift, Paul McCartney, Noah Kahan and Olivia Dean; Swift could extend her record for solo album-of-the-year nominations, while a nod would give McCartney his tenth. Don Toliver has moved into the top tier of likely contenders, while RAYE and Dean are competing for a potentially limited place.
