Taylor Swift is one of the most influential, revolutionary and decorated music artists in the business. With countless accolades and a collection of fan-favorite albums in her portfolio, Swifties couldn’t wait to hear what Taylor was nominated for at the 2026 Grammy Awards. But when the Recording Academy didn’t say her name during its November 7, 2025, nominations announcement, fans wondered whether she was nominated for anything.

Below, find out whether or not Taylor was nominated at the Grammys for her 2025 album, The Life of a Showgirl.

When Are the 2026 Grammy Awards?

The 2026 Grammy Awards will take place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California, on February 1, 2026.

How Can I Watch the 2026 Grammys From Home?

The 2026 Grammy Awards will be live on CBS and available to stream on Paramount+.

Was Taylor Swift Nominated for Life of a Showgirl at the 2026 Grammys?

No, Taylor was not nominated for any 2026 Grammy Awards. She released her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, on October 3, 2025, which missed the Recording Academy’s eligibility window.

Why Wasn’t Taylor Swift Nominated for a Grammy in 2026?

In order to be nominated for a Grammy Award next year, an artist had to have released music between August 31, 2024, and August 30, 2025. Therefore, Taylor’s new album was not eligible for a nomination. The “Fate of Ophelia” artist was not snubbed by the Recording Academy.

Taylor has discussed how crushing it can feel for an artist not to receive an award. During a 2015 interview with Grammy Pro, per E! News, the “Karma” hitmaker revealed how she handled losing the 2014 Album of the Year award.

“I went home, and I cried a little bit, and I got In-N-Out Burger and ate a lot,” Taylor said, pointing out that she skipped the after-parties that year.

However, she acknowledged that artists “don’t make music so we can like win a lot of awards.”

“But you have to take your cues from somewhere if you’re going to continue to evolve,” the “Fearless” artist explained. “You have a few options when you don’t win an award. For one, you can decide like, ‘Ugh, they’re wrong. They all voted wrong.’ Second, you can be like, ‘I’m gonna go up on the stage and take the mic from whoever did win it,’ or third, you can say, ‘Maybe they’re right. Maybe I did not make the record of my career. Maybe I need to fix the problem,’ which was that I have not been making sonically cohesive albums.”

How Many Grammys Has Taylor Swift Won?

Taylor has 14 Grammy Awards under her belt, with more than 50 nominations altogether. At the 2024 Grammys, she made history by becoming the first artist to win the Album of the Year award four times upon the release of Midnights.

Taylor will likely be nominated in at least one category at the 2027 Grammys.

Taylor Swift’s ‘Showgirl’ Notches Third Week Atop Billboard 200

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl adds a third week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated Nov. 1), with 194,000 equivalent album units earned (down 43%) in the United States in the week ending Oct. 23, according to Luminate.

The Life of a Showgirl is only the second album in 2025 to spend its first three weeks at No. 1, following Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem, which spent its first eight weeks atop the list (of its total 12 at No. 1).

Elsewhere in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, Tame Impala claims its third top five-charted album, as Deadbeat debuts at No. 4.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new, Nov. 1, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Tuesday (Oct. 28). For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X and Instagram.

Of The Life of a Showgirl’s 194,000 equivalent album units earned in the latest tracking week, SEA units comprise 156,000 (down 34%, equaling 200.68 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks — it ranks at No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums for a third week), album sales comprise 38,000 (down 63% — it’s No. 1 on Top Album Sales for a third week) and TEA units comprise less than 1,000 (down 42%).

The chart-topping KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack holds at No. 2 on the latest Billboard 200 (96,000 equivalent album units, down 8%) and Wallen’s I’m the Problem is stationary at No. 3 (83,000, up 5%).

Tame Impala’s first full-length studio album in five years, Deadbeat, debuts at No. 4 with 70,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, pure album sales comprise 37,000 (it debuts at No. 2 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 33,000 (equaling 41.72 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks; it debuts at No. 7 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

Deadbeat is the third top five (and top 10) project for Tame Impala, following 2020’s The Show Rush (No. 3) and 2015’s Currents (No. 4).

The new album was preceded by a trio of charted songs: “End of Summer” (No. 20 on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, No. 7 on Hot Dance/Pop Songs), “Loser” (No. 15 on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs) and “Dracula” (No. 7 on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, No. 19 on Alternative Airplay, No. 55 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100).

Deadbeat’s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across seven vinyl variants and five deluxe CD boxed sets (containing a copy of CD and branded merch), alongside a standard CD, cassette and digital download album.

Sabrina Carpenter’s chart-topping Man’s Best Friend is steady at No. 5 on the latest Billboard 200 (43,000 equivalent album units, down 5%) and Cardi B’s former leader AM I THE DRAMA? falls 4-6 (40,000, down 21%).

Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving is pushed down 6-7, though it gains 1% in its fourth week on the chart (and fourth week inside the top 10).

SZA’s former No. 1 SOS holds at No. 8 (31,000 equivalent album units, down 2%), Wallen’s chart-topping One Thing at a Time rises 10-9 (30,000, down 3%) and Alex Warren’s You’ll Be Alright, Kid dips 9-10 (nearly 30,000, down 7%).

Sabrina Carpenter Nailed the Art of Showgirl Style on SNL

As the show progressed, Carpenter’s promo photos—because every host gets a full-on SNL photo shoot—continued her high-fashion takeover. She sported pieces such as a vintage Dolce & Gabbana rose coat, a vintage Emanuel Ungaro black and white polka dot frock from spring 2003, and even a shimmering blue Dior lace dress from the recent spring 2026 collection. In a promo clip with SNL co-star Marcello Hernandez, the singer also donned a vintage canine-themed Vivienne Westwood dress from fall 1992—a tie-in to her album name, Man’s Best Friend, obviously.

Across several sketches, she also wore a pink check Love Shack Fancy twin set, a turtleneck mini-dress from Theory, and a sparkling Princess Polly halter mini-dress.

The epic leading lady wardrobe concluded with her two musical performances of the night. For her live rendition of “Nobody’s Son,” Carpenter sported a crystal-covered black and white karate robe, while her backup dancers performed choreographed fights. She was not barefoot, though: For a glamorous pop star touch, she accessorized with a staggering pair of Christian Louboutin platforms. To perform “Manchild,” Carpenter then rocked a “Live From New York” baby tee, while the back of her pink briefs read, “It’s Saturday Night!”—a cheeky homage to the famous SNL tagline. Her SNL looks had all the makings of greatness: Campy, fun, yet chic!

Taylor Swift’s ‘The Life Of A Showgirl’ Dazzles on ARIA Charts

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Taylor Swift’s The Life Of A Showgirl (via Republic/Universal) isn’t moving from the spotlight on the ARIA Charts.

After snagging the entire top 12 of the national singles chart last week, Taylor dominates once again with eight of the top 10, led by The Fate Of Ophelia which locks up the top spot for a second week.

Meanwhile, The Life Of A Showgirl enters a second week at No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart, as Swift completes another chart double.

Across her career, Swift has accumulated 70 weeks on top of the national albums survey, according to ARIA, an accomplishment that has origins dating back in 2010 with Speak Now, which spent one week at the top.

The top new release on the latest ARIA Albums Chart, published Friday, Oct. 17, is Pete Murray’s independently-released Longing (CMI), at No. 5. Longing is the Queensland singer and songwriter’s seventh full-length studio album and first in eight years, three of which reached No. 1 (Feeler in 2003, See The Sun in 2005, Summer At Eureka in 2008).

Another artist from the Sunshine State, Gold Coast singer, songwriter and producer Lyric, bags a debut top 10 with her second EP, The Art Of Falling First (G.Y.R.O.). It’s new at No. 9, and is one of eight homegrown titles on the survey.

Beloved Indigenous rapper, singer and dancer Baker Boy bags a top 20 appearance with his sophomore album, DJANDJAY, new at No. 13. The winner of six ARIA Awards and the recipient of the Young Australian of the Year in 2019, Baker Boy (real name: Danzal Baker) dropped his debut album Gela in 2021, for a No. 3 best.

Meanwhile, former Noiseworks and INXS frontman Jon Stevens snags a top 40 debut with his 11th solo album, Shimmer (Island/Universal). It’s new at No. 30. With Stevens on the mic, Noiseworks scored four top 10 albums, topping the tally in 1991 with Love Versus Money.

Sheppard founding member Amy Sheppard drops in at No. 45 with her debut full-length album, Born To Be Country (EOS/MGM). The Brisbane artist enjoyed a No. 16 peak with her 2022 EP Nothing But Wild, and landed four top 10 albums with Sheppard, including a No. 1 with 2018’s Watching The Sky.

Over on the ARIA Singles Chart, the highest new entry belongs to BLACKPINK’s Jisoo and former One Direction singer Zayn, as their collaboration “Eyes Closed” (Warner) opens at No. 47. No Australian titles appear in the top 50.

Taylor Swift Earns 15th No. 1 Album With The Life of a Showgirl

by jummy84
written by jummy84

As expected, Taylor Swift’s new album The Life of a Showgirl has broken records on its way to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard charts. Swift’s 15th LP debuted with 4.002 million equivalent album units (including pure album sales and streaming activity), with pure album sales totaling 3,479,500, 1.3 million of which were vinyl sales, Billboard reports via Luminate. The figures best the modern-era record for an overall sales week set by Adele’s 25, with 3.482 million units, in 2015.

“I have 4 million thank you’s I want to send to the fans, and 4 million reasons to feel even more proud of this album than I already was,” Swift wrote on Instagram celebrating the news. “Thank you for going out to celebrate this project in the movie theaters, investing in vinyl, streaming, watching the video, buying CDs, reading the poems I wrote inside the packaging, and immersing yourselves in The Life of a Showgirl. I’ll cherish this feeling forever.”

Swift’s eye-watering numbers have broken her out of a tie with Drake and Jay-Z for the most No. 1 albums among soloists, and she is now the only act with the second-most No. 1s since the Billboard 200 began publishing on a weekly basis in 1956 (the Beatles still currently hold the record with 19 No. 1s). Additionally, the top 12 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 this week are occupied by the entirety of The Life of a Showgirl, with “The Fate of Ophelia” claiming the top spot. Swift previously filled the top 10 with Midnights in 2022 and The Tortured Poets Department in 2024.

Swift announced The Life of a Showgirl in August. It features Sabrina Carpenter on the title track, and she worked on the album with Max Martin and Shellback, the Swedish production duo who were behind the boards on 2012’s Red, 2014’s 1989, and 2017’s Reputation. Swift launched the album alongside a limited-time cinema event that topped the box office and, earlier today, announced even more supplementary material: Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The End of an Era, a six-episode docuseries capturing Swift on the Eras Tour, and The Eras Tour | The Final Show, a concert film featuring the tour’s final show at Vancouver’s BC Place, both premiere on Disney+ in December.

Taylor Swift’s ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ makes history by selling 4 million copies in first week

NEW YORK — That’s show business for you! Taylor Swift’s 12th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” has officially sold 4.002 million equivalent album units — which includes album sales and streaming activity — in its first week in the U.S. That is the biggest first week in modern music history; at least, according to Luminate, the industry data and analytics company that began tracking sales in 1991.

Taylor Swift’s ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ makes history by selling 4 million copies in first week

Swift broke the record set by Adele’s “25,” which sold 3.378 million copies in its first week in 2015 in the U.S.

“The Life of a Showgirl” was released Oct. 3. In its first week, pure album sales totaled 3,479,500 copies.

She’s also become the solo artist with the most No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200, with 15. She was previously tied with Drake and Jay-Z, who each have 14.

Swift is now just behind The Beatles, who boast of 19 No. 1 albums.

She is no stranger to breaking records, and when it comes to “The Life of a Showgirl,” the history-making started immediately. In its first day of release, the album sold 2.7 million copies in traditional album sales, breaking her record for most first week sales… in one day.

Her last album, 2024’s “The Tortured Poets Department,” amassed 2.61 million equivalent album units in the U.S. in its first week.

Also, according to Luminate, “The Life of a Showgirl” broke the record for the most copies of a vinyl album sold in a single week in the U.S., with 1.2 million copies in its first day.

The previous record holder was “The Tortured Poets Department,” which sold 859,000 copies on vinyl in its first week.

One of the reasons Swift has seen so much success is that she released her record in several different variants. Those include multiple editions specific to Target — three CDs titled “It’s Frightening,” “It’s Rapturous” and “It’s Beautiful,” as well as an exclusive vinyl release, “The Crowd Is Your King.”

There are a number of other vinyl variants as well: “The Tiny Bubble in Champagne Collection,” “The Baby That’s Show Business Collection,” “The Shiny Bug Collection,” and the standard LP and cassette, in “sweat and vanilla perfume Portofino orange vinyl.”

The news of Swift’s record-breaking sales arrived just after “Good Morning America” revealed Monday that she’ll have two new projects at Disney . That’s a six-episode, behind-the-scenes docuseries about her landmark “Eras Tour” titled “Taylor Swift ‘ The Eras Tour ‘ The End of an Era.”

The first two episodes of her docuseries will premiere Dec. 12.

And that is not to be confused with the second, titled “Taylor Swift ‘ The Eras Tour ‘ The Final Show,” a concert film now with the inclusion of “The Tortured Poets Department” section. The 2024 album was incorporated into her three-and-a-half-hour performance following its release. It was filmed in Vancouver.

That differs from 2023’s “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” film, which was compiled from several Swift shows at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, a suburb of Los Angeles and arrived ahead of “The Tortured Poets Department.”

The Best Dressed Stars of the Week Embraced Life As a Showgirl

written by jummy84

October marks a lot of things—cozy fall weather, spooky season, pumpkin spice lattes!—but this month was also punctuated by discourse around Taylor Swift’s new album, The Life of a Showgirl. And it seems like the singer’s glitzy, glamorous aesthetic that’s surrounding the record has had a ripple effect on the red carpets. This week, the best dressed stars were those who leaned into theatrical fashion, choosing showstopping looks that brought the drama and commanded the spotlight.

At the London premiere of Jay Kelly, for one, Amal Clooney slipped into a pink, sequined, and fringed Tamara Ralph gown with a feather boa to match. Very fitting for the life of a showgirl. Ditto for the sparkling mini dress by Giuseppe di Morabito that Swift herself wore on Fallon: These looks were not for the wallflowers. Emma Stone also got the memo in her tangerine Louis Vuitton dress, worn to the London premiere of Bugonia—a color so good that it forces you to do a double take.

Even the week’s more demure outfits still featured bold details that turned heads. At the L.A. premiere of Frankenstein, Mia Goth did sheer dressing in a black Dior number. For the After the Hunt premiere in London, Vogue cover star Ayo Edebiri also continued her new Chanel girl era in a silky white draped gown, fresh from the recent spring 2026 collection. Wearing fresh-off-the-runway from one of the hottest shows of fashion month? A total flex.

Which were your favorite celebrity looks this week? Vote below, and check back on Friday to see who Vogue readers crowned best dressed.

Inside the Fan Insanity Unleashed by The Life of a Showgirl

Inside the Fan Insanity Unleashed by The Life of a Showgirl

by jummy84
written by jummy84

When I worked as a Digital Culture Reporter at Business Insider, we had an expression for how we’d cover the buzziest new stories: Flood the zone. Like a faulty fire hydrant, or a vacuum cleaner whizzing up and down with the uncontrollable hysteria of a feral raccoon, our directive was to suck up as many clicks as possible through every angle imaginable. I recall this happening during the early days of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the Titan submersible implosion in 2023, when social media was completely engulfed by updates every minute. Even if your beat wasn’t geopolitics or the economic structure behind deep-sea tourism, you were supposed to drop everything and help perpetuate the flood, or find a way to work it into your coverage, however contrived. I wrote a story about how people were making Zelenskyy fancams and dissected the way TikTokers were spreading misinfo about the war by using fake violent audios.

Taylor Swift is the Titan submersible implosion of music journalism—or a series of them, or one endless sustained ultrabuzz spectacle—driving a rapturous surge of media coverage by churning out so much material. It’s an increasingly rare kind of cultural domination—even at the height of the Beatles or Michael Jackson, there was always a pantheon of other deities. Swift has a monopoly on monoculture, she’s the Elon Musk super-entrepreneur of music. It’s why Gannett, the country’s biggest newspaper chain, hired a dedicated Taylor Swift reporter.

There have been hundreds of positive and punitive articles published about her online since The Life of a Showgirl was released on Friday. People alone has written dozens in the last week, from individual pieces cataloging every song to a story written about a single comment Travis Kelce left on an Instagram post made by Kameron Saunders, a backup dancer in the the video for Swift’s song “Fate of Ophelia.” (“You killed it as always Kam!!” he wrote. That’s the story.) Other article concepts include ELLE Australia’s “213 Truly Chaotic Thoughts I Had While Listening to The Life of a Showgirl for the First Time” and Parade Magazine’s “Big Words in Taylor Swift Songs and What They Mean.” Rolling Stone caught immense flak on release day for touting their first ever “homepage takeover” and turning the site into an elaborate “immersive experience” in honor of Swift’s transcendent magnificence. When you visited the site, it was mint green—the palette for Showgirl—and every visible article was something about the record (which they immediately scored a five out of five) or how it slotted into Swift’s ongoing and ever-accumulating legacy.

During our catch-up call last week, my editor made an unusual request: “So, uh, and this is the only time I’ll ask this,” he said with a hint of agitation in his voice. “Is there a Taylor Swift Rabbit Holed angle?”

Why The Life Of A Showgirl Reaction Has Been So Heated

by jummy84
written by jummy84

My drive to the cinema, however, was filled with mixed feelings, as less than 12 hours before, I’d had an extremely lukewarm reaction to Swift’s 12th record, The Life of a Showgirl. I wasn’t the only one who’d picked up on a significant vibe shift and lack of…pizzazz that was promised from the Max Martin-produced record, marketed as a behind-the-curtain reflection on the pomp, grandiosity, chaos and confusion that comes with being a showgirl. 

Instead, the record reads more like an attempt at appearing nonchalant towards the negative noise, while simultaneously only focusing on it, sandwiched between a few peppy love songs. Unlike the defined sonic-directions of Swift’s previous 11 records, there’s little through-line between the palette, and at times, the writing leaves little to the imagination. To me, there’s a distinct lack of yearning on this record — a defining trait in Swift’s lyricism.
