Taylor Swift and Kanye West Were Last-Minute Additions for Top Grammy Awards

The move, which saw the list grow from eight nominees to 10, was positioned as a natural progression by CEO Harvey Mason jr. when asked about it byon Monday. “We saw it as an incredible opportunity for us to honor more artists and shine a light on more great music, and potentially offer a greater opportunity for more genres of music to be honored,” he said.

As for the abruptness of the move, “It’s something that we’ve talked about for quite some time but it ended up happening fairly recently,” he said. “We looked at the voting and the amount of submissions [for the 2022] and saw it as a great opportunity.” Advance lists of the nominees, which are traditionally serviced to the media 24 hours before the announcement, arrived much later than usual on Monday.

Lil Nas X’s “Montero ” and Abba’s “I Still Have Faith in You” were added to Record of the Year; Doja Cat’s “Kiss Me More” and Brandi Carlile’s “Right on Time” for Song of the Year ; and Baby Keem and Arooj Aftab to Best New Artist, according to the report. Mason told the Times that the artists added to the list were simply the ninth and tenth most voted by the Academy’s members, and were determined by Deloitte, its partner in collecting and tabulating votes.

The news sets an awkward tone for the next Grammy Awards, which have been marred by an ongoing series of unsavory controversies over the past five years.
