The nominations for Album of the Year are:

Some fans don’t think Taylor Swift will attend the 2022 Grammy Awards
While Swift is clearly grateful that evermore was nominated at the 2022 Grammy Awards, some fans do not think she will attend the award show.
Because Swift won Album of the Year at the most recent Grammy Awards, some fans do not think she will be able to repeat the success with evermore. Swift has notably not promoted evermore in the same way she did folklore, making fans think that she will not make an appearance at the upcoming Grammy Awards.
“I don’t think so, she knows she won’t win and hasn’t done much campaigning for it (even though I would obviously love to see her),” wrote a fan on Reddit.
“she’s not winning anything this time, so no she won’t attend,” a Reddit user wrote.
“I’d guess—completely arbitrarily assigning chances—that attendance is around 50% and performing is probably only around 10%,” one fan speculated on Reddit.
Who is performing at the 2022 Grammy Awards?
With the 2022 Grammy Awards only days away, the Recording Academy has already announced numerous performers, confirming the attendance of multiple nominees. As of right now, Swift is not listed as a performer.
So far, the 2022 Grammy Awards performers are:
- Billie Eilish
- Brothers Osborne
- BTS
- Brandi Carlile
- Lil Nas X
- Jack Harlow
- Olivia Rodrigo
- Chris Stapleton
- H.E.R.
- Jon Batiste
- Nas
- Cynthia Erivo
- Leslie Odom Jr.
- Ben Platt
- Rachel Zegler
