Taylor Swift Got Robbed. But Why? The singer gets just one Grammy nomination

-


"Here lies Taylor Swift's reputation—or at least the final nail in the coffin of her Reputation era." So writes Brittany Spanos in a Rolling Stone piece that mulls the singer's Grammy nomination "snub": no mention of the album or its singles except one lonely listing in the Best Pop Vocal Album Category. Consider thatReputation was 2018's top-selling album and its fourth single, "Delicate," became "a sleeper hit this year" and "a massive radio hit." Plus Swift is a Grammy darling, the youngest artist ever to snag Album of the Year withFearless at age 20 and the first woman to

win twice when 1989 triumphed in 2016. So wither the love?
OK, Reputation was dark and different. And it wasn't released in time for the 2018 Grammys, so it had to wait a year. There was also the controversy after 1989 beat Kendrick Lamar's "astounding" To Pimp a Butterfly—and "this year's eight-album lineup is deservedly hip-hop and R&B-heavy" with albums like Lamar's Black Panther soundtrack, Drake's Scorpion, and Cardi B's Invasion of Privacy, notes Spanos. But is the Grammys really about fairness and representation? Not to one commentator: "The Grammys isn't a benevolent process," writes Maeve McDermott at USA Today. "...And if Post Malone got an album of the year nod, which says it all about the kinds of music the Recording Academy deems Grammy-worthy, Swift sure as hell deserved to be recognized too."

The Portland Trail Blazers faced the Houston Rockets tonight without the services of center Jusuf Nurkic, recovering from an ankle injury. For three quarters, it didn’t look like they’d miss him. Damian Lillard hit threes like they were layups. Portland’s patchwork lineup hustled to fast break points and forced turnovers. If they couldn’t out-muscle or out-talent the Rockets, they’d simply outscore them. But even in the midst of amazing runs, the Blazers had no answer for James Harden and Chris Paul. When the game hung in the balance in the fourth quarter, the Rockets trailing by 14, those two superstars keyed a 40-19 period to put their team in the lead. As Houston bore down, Portland’s 60% shooting from the field slipped towards 50%...brilliant on any other night against any other team, but not enough to preserve the victory. Despite dead-eye marksmanship and a spirit effort, the Blazers watched the Rockets exit with a 124-117 win, completing a humbling 0-4 home stand an
