Taylor Swift failure at the Grammy Awards: a necessary defeat

Taylor Swift None of the six awards he opted in the premios Grammy by The Tortured Poets Department. At the gala that was held this Sunday night in Los Angeles, Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar They have dominated the main categories: she has taken the award for the best 2024 album for Cowboy Carter And he has razed with Not Like Us as best song and best recording of the year (two of the five awards that has taken tonight).

Is it bad news for Taylor Swift? Does the end of your reign mean? At all. In fact, it can even be good news for her.

Taylor Swift appeared at this ceremony with An ambitious, although irregular album (neither Cowboy Carter It is Beyoncé’s best album). It is a project that precisely announced in 2024 at the Grammy stage: that night a year ago, the omnipresent mega -strella made history by becoming the first person to get the award for the best album of the year on the fourth time (Fearless, 1989, Folklore y Midnights).

In the pop firmament, Taylor Swift has acquired The size of a hypermastic star That seems to eclipse everything, a blue giant who has been engulfing everything around his orbit. A fifth victory in the Queen category of the Grammy It would have probably been counterproductive especially for being a long prosecuted by Beyoncé, his alter ego in the pop of the 21st century. The prize would not have contributed anything new to the status of Swift, only a sausage of messages on social networks about its abusive domain and on a new robbery to Reina Bey.

The Grammy have been accused in the past repeatedly of racism in their nominations and votes. In fact, Beyoncé is the first black artist who wins the best album award of the year in this century. The results of this 67th edition, with Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar occupying the headlines, help download the pressure on Taylor Swift, which has already broken all imaginable records.

When next Sunday her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, dispute the Super Bowl con los Kansas City Chiefs And the planes of Taylor Swift on the screen return to star in millions of memes and comments, the artist can finally fad and concentrate on her next era, without the weight of being the prodigy she wins in everything and who lives in one of those families in The cheerful laughs and voices are always heard and in which it seems that even the dog laughs with them.

In a speech before university students, Roger Federer explained that throughout its majestic and pluscuamperfecta trajectory he had only made 56% of winning blows. Even for the world’s most perfect tennis machine, losing is quite frequent. There is nothing more repellent than never losing. That’s why Today Taylor Swift seems more human, and better, And one day when he won the best album award in the Grammy, everyone will applaud satisfied.
