The biggest brawl in the music industry is about to go down at the 2025 Grammys. And it is even interesting because these so-called rivals never really had the beef people love to imagine. We are talking about two of the biggest pop stars of this era, Beyoncé and Taylor Swift
. While both women are undoubtedly iconic in their own right, the media’s fascination with pitting them against each other has led to another anticipated face-off on music’s biggest night. This time, they are going head-to-head in the Album of the Year category after 15 years.
As the world waits to see who will walk away with the win, here is a look at who might come out on top.
Who is more likely to dominate the Grammys—Taylor Swift or Beyoncé?
Beyoncé and Taylor Swift have both confirmed they will be showing up at the 2025 Grammys. However, the ‘Renaissance’ star is leading the pack with eleven nominations, which, according to Billboard, is a record for the most nominations in a single year by a female artist. Swift, on the other hand, has six nods. This makes Beyoncé the artist with the most nominations ever, but she has yet to win Album of the Year. And 2025 might just be the year. ‘Cowboy Carter,’ her latest album, is a bold effort to shine a light on the Black roots of country music.

This kind of album is right on the Grammy’s taste since they tend to favor records that honor America’s musical history rather than anything too modern or experimental. Meanwhile, Swift’s ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ has been a huge commercial success— it sold well and broke several records as well
. But, it has gotten very mixed reviews from critics. In fact, there are several articles currently making the case on the internet for why Swift should not take home Album of the Year this time. And even Swifties seem to agree with that.
One of the biggest Swifties in the world recently shared why Taylor Swift might actually leave the Grammys empty-handed this year.
Even Swifties are not sure Taylor Swift will shine at the Grammys
Kayla Wong, a senior public relations manager, is one of the biggest influencers in the Swiftie world, and even USA Today says so. Wong is famous for diving into sales numbers, coding lyrics into Excel, and using formulas to share every scrap of Swift-related gossip. Recently, this data-obsessed Swiftie posted on Instagram that Taylor Swift “won’t win more than two and may only take one or none
” at the Grammys.
Wong has been following Swift’s Grammy history for almost twenty years, so when she makes a prediction, it is worth paying attention to. Her latest calculations have once again sparked talk about the very real possibility of Beyoncé pulling ahead of Swift at the upcoming ceremony. But no matter who takes home the most trophies, both songstresses will keep rooting for each other, just like they always have.
