She was lying like a forest fairy on a bed of vibrant green AstroTurf when she first appeared at the 2021 Grammys.
Taylor Swift opened her refreshingly modest award with “Cardigan”, from the surprise of her launch in 2020, the unusual “folklore” – a collaboration with writers-producers Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner.
Swift, 31, quickly turned into an amber singer-songwriter diva lit with “August”, followed by an equally naturalistic “Willow”.
The general consensus of social media has been that it is less bright than usual the performance was positive “dream”.
It’s been 13 years since Swift won her first Grammy nod, for Best New Artist.
He was 18 when he lost that 2008 trophy to the late Amy Winehouse – but won an impressive number of Grammy victories over the years, including two trophies from the album of the year, for “Fearless” in 2010 and “1989” in 2016.
Now, Swift is nominated for six Grammy Awards 2021: she participates in the album of the year, the best vocal album (“folklore”), the song of the year, the best solo pop performance (“Cardigan”) and the best song written for visual. Media (“Beautiful Ghosts” from the 2019 soundtrack of the doomed movie “Cats”).
“It’s pretty wild since it’s been my first Grammy nomination. I still feel lucky enough to be a part of this night, “Swift told ET during a rehearsal break earlier this week. “I think the advice I would give when I was younger is probably that when things get harder, I should always focus on how much I love music.”
If she takes the top prize, Swift would become the first woman to win the album three times a year.
Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder and Paul Simon are among the few male performers to have won the album three times this year. Backstage talent has also won the award three times, including producer-songwriter-superstar Phil Ramone, Ryan Tedder, David Foster and many more.
