Grammys 2027 Best New Artist Nominations prediction

The Los Angeles Times' Best New Artist preview, published Nov. 11, lists Miles Caton, Geese, Audrey Hobert, Bella Kay, Ella Langley, Sienna Spiro, Malcolm Todd and Don Toliver, with Stella Lefty as a possible surprise. Slayyyter is not among those names. That matters because the field is only eight slots wide, and the same piece calls Langley's eventual win all but assured. The counter-case is real. A Rolling Stone piece from Oct. 15 names Slayyyter and her album Wor$t Girl in America among the contenders. It ranks her third in its predictions and says the world, and the Grammys, are catching on to her. Another critic's list is not a nomination, though, and the forecast leans toward her missing out. The crowd is also large. One preview says 331 artists are competing for eight slots on the final ballot. Eligibility ran from Aug. 31, 2025, through Aug. 28, 2026. Another guide's best guesses put a number of artists in a "within reach" tier, which shows how many credible names are fighting for the same few places. Nominations are scheduled to be announced Monday, Nov. 16, 2026, with the full list posted on the official source. The thing to watch is whether Slayyyter's name appears in that Best New Artist field. A place there would show that Rolling Stone's read was closer than the Times' list.
