2025 GRAMMY NOMINATION STREAM with HT

Comments

Very into the game. Pls have more streams like this!

Alaina

lizzy not getting anything kinda hurt

Grace Ferrall

Um…wow..thanks for coming to my TED talk. Didn’t realize how much of a novel that would be. If you made it to the end, here’s a star. 🌟😅

Meghan Gerhart

He didn’t say his reactions weren’t real. He said that his expectations for artistry have changed, for the better, because of all the incredible music coming out. Because of that, an okay album by Taylor Swift is going to seem less than okay after hearing the calibre of other music that’s coming out. It’s a shifting of expectations and that’s a healthy thing. He said he was going to be MORE real with his OPINIONS, not that his reactions weren’t real. Basically, he’s not going to sugarcoat things as much anymore because he’s been working really hard on expanding his musical knowledge and his ability as, not only a reactor, but a reviewer and critic. Taylor Swift is popular but she is critically, and otherwise, divisive, as a person, brand, and musical artist. Troy has liked things from her in the past and he’ll probably like things from her again but that doesn’t mean he needs to like EVERYTHING from her or about her. That’s unrealistic. And, when he thinks a piece of work she put out is less deserving of an award, or a nomination than the countless other INCREDIBLE work by other artists, both well known and otherwise (many of whom have never won a Grammy or even been nominated for one), he’s well in his rights to say so. Also, judging by his response, it sounds like he’s pretty tired of having to defend his opinions to her fans, especially on his own Patreon. Taylor Swift is just a person and she has done things that are worthy of criticism and that’s okay. I wish there was more room for that conversation without it being turned into “That person must be a hater” or something. Nuance exists and I wish that could apply to Taylor Swift. Instead it seems you’re either with her or against her and I find that kind of thinking super alienating and it makes me, and many others, I’m sure, less inclined to want to engage with her/her music/her fandom because of that kind of all or nothing rhetoric.

Meghan Gerhart

might i suggest doing arianas “excuse me i love you” concert doc on netflix as a patreon exclusive? its her sweetener/thank u next tour and its sooooo good her vocals are insane

Julie

That was my thought too, the award would be for the producers and studio musicians like ppl who worked on the recording

hammy

I think record isn’t necessarily just about production, the award goes to everyone who worked on the song. It’s like best recording as a whole. Vs song of the year the award just goes to the songwriter so it’s more songwriting based

Lily

It’s her year!!! She deserves it

Logan Boyd

when did he ever say that?? what lol

elaina fitzsimmons

troy we are here for YOUR opinions on YOUR content! personally, I LOVED to hear your perspective on TTPD bc as a swiftie who craves good lyricism from taylor, I was honestly tired of every single reaction absolutely GLAZING the album when it honestly just wasn’t amazing. you’ve literally never said anything outright awful about taylor like MANYYYY people on the internet do, so I don’t think people have the right to nitpick you for simply sharing an opinion. I just want you to know that I think many people probably feel the same and though you probably know this, please remember to not take anything people online say to heart. art and music is something you love and I can tell through your content, so thank you for always sharing your honest opinion and opening up other, deeper conversations about music. love your content for life!!! 🫶

elaina fitzsimmons

I hope they both win at least one 🥺

elaina fitzsimmons

yeah I agree, not like us deserves the win too

elaina fitzsimmons

I agree, imo her literal FIRST album is even grammy worthy. she’s SOO talented, the things I would do to be in a studio and just watch, let alone write with her 😍

elaina fitzsimmons

I think she should win music video for sure, but chappell needsss too win or I will literally cry

elaina fitzsimmons

I agree, I am a swiftie but a pretty new one (as of 2021-2022) and TTPD was not for me. I loved most of the anthology and I actually preferred the production elements on the first half more than I did her actual lyricism. I think I relate to troy’s review of the first half a LOT where I really feel like her writing shines through when she’s in a level, clear headspace vs. when she’s angry and vengeful. I do love WAOLOM but songs like I can fix him and down bad are just not for me lyrically. there are definitely good moments in songs on the front half, but taylor is known for entire songs being lyrical masterpieces, like the anthology, not just little moments within the songs if that makes sense?? either way I appreciate the album for what it is and was honestly surprised that people didn’t like the production!!

elaina fitzsimmons

agree!! he would love the way she uses her vocals

elaina fitzsimmons

sooo fun to watch I wanna play I hope he does it again!!

elaina fitzsimmons

troy may not know the taylor songs right away, but he sure is a swiftie cuz he knows the name is always gonna drop at the end of the chorus 😭🤣

elaina fitzsimmons

My guesses: Billie for song of the year Chappell for record of the year Charli for AOTY

Takara

that pronunciation of aoife was criminal lmao (it's pronounced ee-fa btw, it's an irish name therefore it doesn't follow the rules of the english language pronunciation)

jade

at 1:29:50 you say “it might be a Chappell sweep…. And if we don’t…” and youu just exhale. I screamed HOMOPHOBIA? LOL

Sara Jewel

I hope you do the game again with smaller lobbies (like maybe 20-30) and themes! It was even fun to watch after!

Kelly Semon

THE BODYGUARD NOMINATION IS ALL I HAVE EVER NEEDED

Meeksy

I’m so excited that your coming to New Zealand!!!! Hope your going to both the north island and South Island

Maya

No I cried “fill the spot”

Raquel Rodriguez

Aurora is ahhhmazing! Please dig into her!❤️❤️

Erin Smith

Totally fine with being real with reactions, that’s what we are all looking for in a reaction creator. Just a tad disappointing that you’re kind of confirming that now you’re gonna be “real” about your opinions. Always thought you were before this as well Really have enjoyed your reactions to so many different artists and music but I think I just thought that the reactions were always real and not to please anyone. Maybe I’m just a butthurt swiftie and that’s my problem just thought things could have been said in a more respectful manner (not here for unnecessary shade in general towards anyone to make myself clear) Thank you for responding and sharing your thoughts on the matter! 💛

Ebba

don’t know what to tell y’all anymore. I wasn’t a fan of the album, I’m gonna voice my opinion. I’d rather be a little shady than down right mean. The sheer amount of astounding albums that have came out this year really showed me how deep artistry can go so moving forward I’m just gonna have to be more real about my opinions or else I’ll turn into the guy that just likes everything. Sorry homie but that’s just the nature of what I do here. When Taylor drops an album that I really enjoy I’ll be louder than ever about it but until then yes, I’ll be a little bit shady over here in my little corner. Ain’t that big of a deal

hammy

im so shocked and disappointed by ariana’s lack of noms😭 eternal sunshine is an amazing project. i also think we can’t be friends absolutely deserved a best music video nomination, it’s a work of art!!!!

Julie

he doesnt have to love everything she does tho…i dont think hes ever straight up hated on her, he’s just being honest with his reviews and has feedback about an album/era that is not entirely positive and that’s okay

Julie

SHE DID SING ON IT TROY YOURE SO FUNNY

ally

It still doesn’t feel like real life and I’ve been avoiding everything news so this is a welcome distraction. And music is something that makes everyone feel something healing and good

Tina Lingen

Totally agree with this take. Love that Kendrick is nominated for this song..and Chappell has just skyrocketed and deserves all the awards

Tina Lingen

AOTY is stacked! I would love to see Beyonce’ finally win. Cowboy Carter is such a sonically unique and diverse album that tells such a story and takes you on a wild ride. That said I do love Chappel Roan’s album and even listened to Andre 3000’s woodwind album this morning. It was really good and if you like song titles I encourage you to check them out 🤣. Haha we all wish he would’ve dropped some bars like when he was in OutKast but I will take some funky woodwind music from him.

Tina Lingen

It was released just after the cut off for this years nominations is what I read anyways

Tina Lingen

How come the rise and fall of a Midwest princess is qualified for this years Grammys?

kylinb

I think Taylor's album this year is such a swiftie album, that we love but maybe not everyone does, I could see it not winning as much. But I'm thinking her next album with all this love and freedom she is feeling now, is going to kill it and whenever it comes out will be top charts. (Plus the next two TVs will be incredible) This year just had so much good music ❤️

Sammi

Song of the year has to be Good luck babe! or Please Please Please

Noah Ortiz

HOZIER was only ever nominated once and it was for Best Song for Take Me To Church back in, like, 2015…and he lost. It’s crazy how many incredibly brilliant, talented, and culturally impactful artists have never won a Grammy or even been nominated for one. 😕

Meghan Gerhart

Also take one look at Chappell’s crowds for Lalapalooza and ACL, she’s confirmed to have broken a Lalapalooza record for crowd size, and her ACL crowds were INSANE (I was there 😭😭) and TELL ME that she doesn’t have cultural impact that hasn’t left the queer space, I’ve seen countless stories of conservative people saying they can’t get enough of her, she’s just that b*tch

Logan Boyd

Non toxic Swiftie here ✌️ I think taylor def deserved her noms but it’s pretty clear she’s not gonna win most of them or any at all (rooting for her for music video!!) but I am def team Chappell this go round, tbh I’ll be happy for any artist who wins this year, freaking blood bath

Logan Boyd

I (Texan American woman) wept as I watched the results come in, our healthcare is about to be even worse

Logan Boyd

THEY WERE SNUBBED SO BADDDD

emily glasser

no i knoooowi was just hopeful

hammy

I’m so glad it’s not only me. All of a sudden he’s jumped onto this bandwagon of shading her. Like it’s fine to not like her albums that have come out but it’s just become weird. Not enjoying it.

Cailyn Cavaleiro

To be completely fair, I don't think Lizzy is on the Recording Academy's radar just yet, but she totally should be!!

Nathan Diaz

I cant believe Older was snubbed unless it wasn't released in time

Lady Snow

Thank you so much for posting streams on here! You always stream when I'm at work or I'm busy being a mom lol it really is the best when I get to relax before bed watching the stream I missed 🥹 PS your love for One Direction and especially Harry Styles makes me so happy bc same 😭 I hope you have a wonderful day and thank you for making my day better 💙

Shayna Johnson

Most stressful week indeed, my Dr had to double the dose of my antidepressants 💀💀💀 Troy content save us pls

Confused Leaf

I think for record of the year if we think impact it would be Not Like Us. And Song of the year Good Luck Babe. Chappel will get most of them anyway.

Melina Paquette

Grammys are so predictable, they like to “initiate” an artist so Sabrina is gonna sweep for some random reason if not Chappell but that’s what they do, pick who they like that year and give them everything

Jose Penaloza

i’m surprised hozier wasn’t nominated for anything but i’m soo happy for clairo and chappell!!

emma 🌷

How did Clancy not get nominated for best rock album

Emily Clemson

You said we’re gonna get to Lemonade Mouth and I screamed

Melina Paquette

rm's lost! absolutely should've been in there for best mv, it's been getting awarded internationally like crazy and it's (imo) one of the best music videos released this year and hozier's too sweet definitely should've been in best alternative music performance

jade

So not here for the Taylor shade that has been going on for this year Troy.. feel how you wanna feel about her nominations that’s fine and all respected but lately it seems like it’s shade after shade for the sake of it? “She sang on it”

Ebba

❤️✨️

kelly

Honestly, with everything going on, this is a nice distraction.

kelly

So sad for the elections, I cried so much even if I don't live in America. It has been horrific to see everything that has already happened after it.. But anyways, sending love and strength from finland ❤️

AHHHH YAYYY
