Although Taylor Swift’s Midnights album won’t arrive until Oct. 21, fans already predict it’ll be the album of the year. But the real question is, will the Recording Academy agree? Unfortunately, Midnights won’t be nominated for the 2023 Grammys due to one reason: It isn’t eligible for consideration.

According to the Recording Academy’s official website, the eligibility period for the 2023 Grammys was from Oct. 1, 2021 to Sept. 30, 2022. Since Midnights is slated for release on Oct. 21, that means the album missed the deadline for Grammy consideration by just a few weeks. But even if it did release earlier, Swift would have needed to submit the album by Aug. 31 in order for it to have been considered for the 2023 Grammys. So, while it’s too late for Midnights to receive any nominations this time around, it could certainly get recognized for the 2024 ceremony instead.

However, Swift could still have a big year at the 2023 Grammys since her latest re-recorded album, Red (Taylor’s Version), is eligible for Grammy consideration. According to Variety, the singer actually submitted her record in 13 different categories. “All Too Well (10 Minute Version)” is competing for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Solo Performance, and Best Music Video, while “I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault)” is up for Best Country Solo Performance and Best Country Song.

Swift also submitted two of her collaborations for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance: “Nothing New” with Phoebe Bridgers and “The Joker and the Queen” with Ed Sheeran. “Carolina,” which Swift dropped on June 24 for the Where the Crawdads Sing soundtrack, is also in the running for Best Song Written For Visual Media, Best American Roots Performance, and Best American Roots Song.

Finally, Swift submitted Red (Taylor’s Version) for Best Country Album. It’s worth noting the original record was nominated for both Album of the Year and Best Country Album at the 2014 Grammys.

The 2023 Grammys will take place on Feb. 5 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Fingers crossed Red (Taylor’s Version) snags a few noms!

The 65th Annual GRAMMY Awards is becoming one of the most-anticipated music events in 2023 next to Rihanna's huge music comeback through the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

With the GRAMMY eligibility period ending soon, Billboard has released their early predictions on who they think will be nominated for the biggest award of the night - Album of the Year.

To accommodate the bulk of entries last year at the 64th GRAMMY Awards, the Recording Academy has extended the nominee pack from eight albums to ten. In 2023, the same number of albums will still be considered.

GRAMMYs 2023 Album of the Year Predictions

Billboard predicts that five albums are a complete shoo-in on the Album of the Year category for the 2023 GRAMMYs.

Adele: "30"

If Adele wins Album of the Year in 2023, this would be her third album in her discography to win the award. And with the massive opening week numbers and longevity on the charts, "30" is a front-runner in the category.

Beyonce: "Renaissance"

One of the freshest albums to drop this year, Beyonce's "Renaissance" is a huge force to reckon with on the already-tight pack. She would be going head to head with Adele again, whom she lost to in the past years that they have gone against.

Harry Styles: "Harry's House"

So far this year, "Harry's House" was the biggest album for any artist to have debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 charts. It would be a complete haul for Styles if he would win the album as this would be the former One Direction star's first time to be nominated in the award category as well.

Bad Bunny: "Un Verano Sin Ti"

It would be a surprise if Bad Bunny's "Un Verano Sin Ti" would not be nominated for the upcoming GRAMMY Awards as it currently holds the record for ruling the Billboard 200 charts for 11 nonconsecutive weeks. It would also be the first full-Spanish album to be nominated in the category if ever.

Kendrick Lamar: "Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers"

If Kendrick Lamar's most recent album would be nominated for the category, he would tie with Kanye West as the rapper with the most nominations in the Album of the Year category. He would be replicating Billy Joel's record for being the artist whose four consecutive albums be nominated for the awards if "Mr. Morale & The Big Stepper" be included.
