## Key points

- Andrew Watt is tipped to win after producing work for McCartney and the Stones.
- Miranda Lambert could be nominated for *Dandelion* and “Choosin’ Texas”.
- No woman has ever won the non-classical Producer of the Year Grammy.

## Summary

Grammy voters will weigh both the commercial success of a producer’s work and the story behind how it was made when choosing the 2027 Producer of the Year, Non-Classical. Andrew Watt is presented as the likely winner after working with Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones, while Miranda Lambert is highlighted as a possible upset candidate.

The predicted nominees are Kenny Beats, Aaron Dessner, Miranda Lambert, Dan Nigro and Watt. Lambert co-produced Ella Langley’s album *Dandelion* and the year’s biggest song, “Choosin’ Texas”; a nomination would be rare recognition for a woman in a category no woman has won. Kenny Beats is praised for working across indie, rock and other projects, though the article notes his success is less commercial in the traditional sense.
