Grammy predictions: Will Beyonce pull out a big win? We'll find out Sunday

Will Beyonce finally break through and win Album of the Year? Or will she just have to be satisfied with the most Grammys of any artist? Those are the questions swirling around Sundays ceremony, a smackdown featuring some of the biggest names in the business.

In the Album category, look for Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, Jacob Collier, Charli xcx, Sabrina Carpenter and Andre 3000 to make life a little uncomfortable for Cowboy Carter.

While Swift is a given every time she produces something and Eilish is the new Oscar darling, there are others who could sweep in and leave Beyonce holding the reins, not the trophy.

This years competition, in fact, is a chance for newcomers and veterans to finally nail those elusive awards.

Beyonce will still get her share (Best Country Album that would be a coup), its likely shes not going home with the big prize.

By category, here are the artists to watch: Someone has decided this is a bigger category than Album of the Year.

Because it attracts a lot of pop stars, it likely provides a good finish to any show.

But Album still has to contain clout.

What makes the field so interesting is the addition of the Beatles with Now and Then, a found song.

Clearly, if the usual suspects arent going to win, theyd all be content seeing the Beatles claim the prize.

Were predicting the Beatles.

But if Sabrina Carpenter is going to have a big night, this could be her cup o joe.

Beyonce could win with Texas Hold Em, her line-dance special.

But Billie Eilishs Birds of a Feather seems stronger.

Toss-up.

Sabrina Carpenter has the edge; Chappell Roan has the cred.

Were going with Carpenter.

Billie? Taylor? Beyonce? If voters know whats good for them, Beyonce will win.

But there are a lot of Swifties in the crowd.

This will be the surprise of the night.

Billie Eilish, pictured in February 2024, has opened up about the loneliness of fame.

Similar crowd.

Give it to Sabrina Carpenter, Espresso.

Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars, the ghosts of Grammys past.

If Ariana Grande won here, she could get a jump on her EGOT.

Taylor has Tortured Poets in the mix and Billie Eilish is always good for a trophy.

Still, we think this is going to be part of Sabrinas march.

Yeah, Now and Then, the Beatles, is a sure bet but what about Dark Matter from Pearl Jam? Or Broken Man from St.

Vincent? Screaming Suicide, Metallica.

Broken Man, St.

Vincent.

Here, the Rolling Stones could end the drought.

But a lot of Grammy faves are in the mix.

If the Beatles get traction, the Stones could, too.

This is a toss-up.

Still, Spaghettii, Beyonce featuring Linda Martell and Shaboozey, sounds good.

Not Like Us, Kendrick Lamar.

If Aaron Lazar wins, itll be a win for a lot of people.

Somehow, though, Norah Jones is a hard act to best.

But ask the fans and theyll rave about The Outsiders.

Anyone would be fine but were cheering Outsiders.
