Grammy's are coming up and I wanted to put in my thoughts on who should win. Now, I'm not going to go through all the nominees, but I will go through the ones I thought that need the spotlight on.
Reminder, I am not a voting member in the Grammy's or a professional in music, so this is literally based on a teenager seeing the trends and doing her research.
Since the plot twist in 2015 of "They Album of the Year" going to Beck rather than Beyoncé, we can see that the Grammy's voting is not based on sales.

Who will win: Black Space (Taylor Swift)

Alright (Kendrick Lamar)
Blank Space (Taylor Swift)
Girl Crush (Little Big Town)
See You Again (Wiz Khalifa ft Charlie Puth)
Thinking Out Loud (Ed
