Taylor Swift could pursue Record of the Year and Song of the Year at the 2027 Grammy Awards, two major prizes yet to join her record-breaking collection.
Taylor Swift could be preparing to change her Grammy strategy as she sets her sights on two major awards that have so far eluded her.
The Eras Tour superstar is reportedly being tipped for a two-category campaign at the 2027 Grammy Awards, moving beyond the Album of the Year category where she has already made history.
According to a prediction by Variety, Swift could enter “The Fate of Ophelia” in the running for Record of the Year, while “I Knew It, I Knew You” could be positioned for Song of the Year.
If the prediction proves accurate, the pop star would be pursuing two separate prizes with two different songs, potentially giving Grammy voters distinct reasons to recognise her work.
Taylor Swift has 14 Grammy Awards
Swift already has an impressive Grammy collection. The 36-year-old singer has won 14 Grammy Awards, including a record-breaking four Album of the Year trophies.
Despite her repeated success in one of the Recording Academy’s most prestigious categories, two major general-field awards remain absent from her collection: Record of the Year and Song of the Year.
The potential 2027 campaign could therefore represent a significant opportunity for Swift to complete another part of her Grammy résumé.
Her previous Album of the Year victories have established her as one of the most successful artists in Grammy history, but the absence of Record of the Year and Song of the Year remains notable given her sustained success at the ceremony.
Two songs could target two major Grammy prizes
Under the strategy outlined in Variety’s prediction, “The Fate of Ophelia” and “I Knew It, I Knew You” would effectively serve different purposes in the awards race.
Rather than relying on a single track across multiple categories, Swift could potentially use the two songs to compete separately for the recording and songwriting honours.
The approach could give the singer an opportunity to challenge for two of the ceremony’s most prominent general-field prizes with separate musical works.
Official Grammy nominations will decide the race
Whether the prediction ultimately translates into official Grammy nominations remains to be seen. The Recording Academy’s nominations will determine which songs and artists make the final race.
For Swift, however, the prospect of competing for the two awards she has never won could add another intriguing chapter to her already remarkable Grammy career.
If she secures nominations in both categories, attention is likely to centre on whether the singer can finally add Record of the Year and Song of the Year to her extensive list of Grammy achievements.
