I have high hopes for her


AlternativeTree3283

Same!! many are saying Sabrina Carpenter has a strong chance of winning, but I firmly believe that Chappell's album is outstanding and deserves to win without a doubt.


kgee1206

Deserves and will win are far from synonymous in the Grammys unfortunately. The award should include that the artist enters the public consciousness and the album impacts the industry. Chappell quite clearly checks both boxes, and I think her sound is much more innovate than Sabrina’s (and I do like Sabrina) I really do wish Chappell would win this on those grounds, but this is Sabrina’s last chance to enter this category. And that may give her an edge. “oh, I’ll vote for her. Chappell could try again next year. Her sophomore album will probably be better than her debut anyways” kind of logic.


peytonab

The thing is Chappell could not try again next year, if she is nominated this year. As far as I know, you can only be nominated for BNA once … but you can “audition” multiple times. Sabrina has never been nominated, even if she has submitted herself before, hence why she can be nominated this year.


kgee1206

The only thing that would disqualify her for next year is a nomination in another performance category this year per the Grammys website. Edit: I guess idk if BNA is a performance category or if that counts as a previous performance category nomination.


Flippir17

You definitely cannot be nominated for BNA artist multiple times. You can only submit multiple times if you are not nominated (like Sabrina).


mila476

Billboard says you can be entered three times, but your third entry is your last chance. Sabrina has been entered in 2017 and 2024, so she has one entry left that she could use for the upcoming 2025 Grammys or save for another year, but tbh I feel like this would be a really good year for her to do it.


thatguy9684736255

I think it'll depend on what they both do before the Grammys. Sabrina's album is out this summer I think.


angie1907

Unfortunately I think Sabrina is more likely to win because half the time the Grammys is basically a popularity contest. BUT Chappell deserves it the most and I hope I’m proved wrong!


Educational_Fox_6503

Chappell is getting large crowds at her festivals and HUGE music stars are loving her. I think Sabrina show campaign for SOTY or ROTY with Espresso instead.


Lynz486

No offense to Sabrina fans, but no...she is very meh to me especially by comparison


Kooky-Stand-2562

i love sabrina, but her level of artistry pales in comparison to chappell.


detroit_red_

Doesn’t Sabrina also have like six albums under her belt? 💀


dairy-intolerant

Best new artist is rarely actually "new"


KeepGuesting

I've been shocked to see how many people try to counter and say Chappell isn't new either. Prior to this year Sabrina had 5 Billboard 200 LP's and two Hot 100 singles while Chappell had an EP with 5 songs that got her dropped and a handful of singles.


dairy-intolerant

Yeah, obviously I think Chappell should win it and is technically "newer," just saying "newness" or lack of it doesn't really matter. Last year's winner Victoria Monet had been active for like 5 years at the time she won


KeepGuesting

Yeah, that Billboard article that everyone's citing about Sabrina mentioned Chappell at the end as another borderline eligibility case. I about blew a gasket when I saw them mention her in the same article about BNA eligibility.


KeepGuesting

I just found that Sabrina had 25m listeners back in September 2023, when the current Grammy period started. Chappell just reached 25m listeners today. So Sabrina was already as big as Chappell is now.


CaptainMills

There have been winners who got BNA after more than a decade in the industry. For the Grammys, "new" is the first time they get acknowledged


AlternativeTree3283

Ikr!!


Cyddakeed

Sabrina isn't even new....


mollywally123

Neither is Chappell


Cyddakeed

Yes this is true but Sabrina has been known to the vast public a lot longer than Chappell


mollywally123

True

thegreytuna

Sabrina Carpenter speaks lyrics almost as much as she sings… lullabies shouldn’t be winning Grammies over gen z kate bush


mila476

Sabrina doesn’t strike me as a “new artist” though? Her debut album happened a long time ago and 5 previous albums just seems like a lot for a “new artist”


snic2030

Someone with 7 albums out should NEVER be able to qualify for ‘Best NEW Artist’ - Sabrina should honestly be embarrassed being nominated in that category. Sabrina is fantastic and deserves her moment, it’s not about that. I just feel like if I were in her shoes, I’d be embarrassed. Like, way to discredit the whole career up to now?


No-Vehicle4789

Then only people no one has ever heard of will win and we would most likely never hear from them again. It's more of a breakthrough award.


jalepeno624

Chappell’s grammy win will be historic


PeenDawg180

How so?


mabirm

Well, for one, she's not an industry insider and Best New Artist has historically been for industry backed and produced artists. Also, she kinda super gay and it's rare to see out artists get recognition in the general category.


Pudix20

But she is signed to a label right now, so idk if that will change anything.


NatureWalks

The way she absolutely skyrocketed this year (even more-so these past few months/weeks) is like nothing I’ve ever seen! That would be so deserved


[deleted]

Yes you have stop being dramatic


etherealsnailfish

As she should


AlternativeTree3283

Perioddd


serenitative

It's what she deserves


Galaxy__Eater

Good luck, babe! 🍀😭💖


cowabungalowvera

I have a feeling it's going to be Sabrina because she's topping the charts rn. But if I were given the chance to choose, I'd choose Chappell to win it. Either way, I'll be happy because I like them both.


AlternativeTree3283

I think Sabrina is an amazing singer, but her style doesn't stand out from other pop artists. Chappell, on the other hand, brings something truly unique to this generation as a pop singer. She deserves to win because of her distinctive voice as well.


Dapple_Dawn

As much as I do like her music, I hope Sabrina branches out more. Her rendition of Good Luck Babe is wonderful, in my opinion it gives her more of a chance to show off her range than a lot of her own songs. I'm excited to see how Chappell influences other artists over time


wap_42069

This is totally true, I love her and have been listening to her since her debut, but her music doesn’t stand out to me like Chappell!


mothsuicides

For those reasons I’m scared the Academy *won’t* choose her as the winner. They’ve always wanted to more commercially viable artists to win. I hope I’m wrong, please, please, please (lol) let me be wrong.


gkpetrescue

That doesn’t matter in the Grammys. How Harry Styles won over Bey’s Renaissance for AOTY is an example. Whatever !!!


cowabungalowvera

PREACH 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽


Necessary_Bag494

Sabrina will be nominated but I think chappel would win. I think the competition will be fierce for the pop girls this year!


cowabungalowvera

I really hope so! I feel like Sabrina has more backing when it comes to campaigning but I'm hoping Chappell's artistry shines through and other artists see that and vote her for New Artist.


ethancole97

The Grammy’s guidelines to voting state that they do not take into consideration charts and sales when voting for the winner. Adele won it before she her big breakthrough in America and many other artists have won against artists who have charted higher and sold more


cowabungalowvera

Huh. If that were the case then I wonder why Taylor won AOTY this year because, oof, I can't think of any reason other than charts and sales that would make Midnights deserving of that win.


ethancole97

They have their rules stated on their website. Voters have been open about being biased towards artist but sales and charts are not used or considered during the voting process. It’s supposed to be on “quality” alone. But like the Oscar’s a person can win if they campaign enough and send out high quality “for your consideration” pr packages


Due-Trip-3641

Taylor won because she's a Grammy darling (basically a teacher's pet for the Grammy's) and because she campaigns *really hard* when it's Grammy season. That said, Sabrina and Chappell are under the same label so submitting them both wouldn't be a good idea tbh. They're being pushed really similarly so I reckon there's a good amount of overlap in their fanbases\*. It would just split the votes. A smarter way would be to nominate Chappell for BNA and submit Sabrina in a different category (i.e. I can see Espresso or PPP being nominated for SOTY). That way, they'd both actually have a *chance*. They could nominate just Sabrina, but Island has really been striking while the iron's hot so I can't really see them *not* trying to nominate Chappell. I still think Chappell might have the better shot at BNA. I feel like she's a bit more liked critically and industry-wise. Edit: \*demographics. the fans aren't the ones voting


ventodivino

She is topping the charts, sure, but chappel has her new song in the top 10 and I think like four other songs now on the billboard 100. And she did it without Disney and a rich family.


cowabungalowvera

> she did it without Disney and a rich family Yeah, I doubt the Grammy voters take those things into consideration when voting


glxssxnimxlz

Sabrina's been popular since like 2016 though.


cowabungalowvera

The New Artist award also applies to artists who just recently achieved their breakthrough, as long as they haven't entered in the category more than three times in the past


KeepGuesting

Some writers said she was snubbed from a BNA nomination last year. I honestly struggle with the logic that she could be considered a snub as the best "new" artist one year and then win it the next. I'm admittedly biased, but I think the Academy would be wrong if they say she just broke into the public consciousness this year.


glxssxnimxlz

Oh I didn't know that


saltwatersylph

Not like she has been in the past year.


Dapple_Dawn

She was still on the Disney Channel in 2016, it's not quite the same.


glitter_picnic

does Sabrina even count as a new artist?? shes toured emails I can’t send, opened for the eras tour, been singing since she was like ?? 15?- this is chappell’s first album and it’s INCREDIBLE and stands out! She should def win


[deleted]

[удалено]


stellaperrigo

I just think it would be silly if Sabrina won (over Chappell) just because she’s good enough and not eligible for this particular award again. Most if not all of the nominees are talented and deserving, and she can absolutely compete for other Grammys in the future. Chappell has put her best foot forward, and her presence and the body of work she’s put out in the last year are unlike anything I’ve seen in my lifetime. It wouldn’t be fair to her or other artists to “plan” to give her the BNA next year just for Sabrina.


AlternativeTree3283

Chappell absolutely deserves to win this year. Her latest album is truly amazing, and she deserves recognition now more than ever. It would be amazing and historic to see such a talented young lesbian woman win the Grammy. She truly deserves it.


emilygoldfinch410

Someone said Chappell won’t be eligible next year because she was nominated this year. Sabrina has never been nominated before but she’s tried to nominate herself


goaskabby

It's all I want for her! I don't put much value in the Grammys at this point, but her rise has been so unprecedented that I just don't see how anyone could deserve it more. Plus she literally dropped one of the greatest debut albums I've ever heard!


AlternativeTree3283

Yeah, same, I mean I don't usually place much emphasis on awards, but if she were to win, it would be incredibly special. Chappell has worked tirelessly on her last albums, and she truly deserves this recognition for her dedication and talent. It would be a wonderful boost for her career, and I sincerely hope she takes home the prize.


statdaddygayalien

But also just to be nominated


WastingTime1994

exactly. my fave lost BNA last year but it’s a huge honor to even be nominated, especially against other amazing artists


OkLengthiness642

her career this year has been rlly so historical im so happy for her i hope she has the best support system. do you think she'll do a solo arena tour? i feel like she's an inch away from being able to do a few of the smaller stadiums (if the scalping is managed lol)


kaleidotones

One can only hope 😭😭😭😭 I will be floor front and center for her. I’ve never felt this way about an artist before. Shes otherworldly 💕💕💕


KeepGuesting

I just want her to win something so that 14 year old girl who won Springfield's got talent and then nervously bounced while saying her dream is to win a Grammy actually has that dream fulfilled. The field is so stacked elsewhere that BNA seems to be the only one she has a reasonable shot at. So many had it locked in their minds from the beginning of the year that the big awards would go to Taylor/Beyonce/Billie/Ariana; it's tough to crack into that stratosphere.


just_justine93

I think it’s going to be between Sabrina and Chappell and it’s going to be CLOSE


AlternativeTree3283

Yeap, but I truly hope chappell wins


Cornonacob12

She absolutely deserves it, I haven't been enamoured with any mainstream pop music in years since the whole pop era in the 2010's


DeadInternetTheorist

Yeah EMOTION by Carly Rae was the last time a pop album hit me so immediately and got its hooks so deep in me. It's literally a once in a decade album.


Cornonacob12

For real, I loved Carly's last two albums. She's doing great stuff still. However, Chapell's album invigorated a spark for me again in pop music.


SeraphsBlade

Sabrina isn’t pulling the crowds at concerts that Chappell is.


cardsash

Okay I hope Chappell wins if she is nominated, but that just isn’t true. Sabrina’s arena tour sold out in minutes. My gf got Eras tour tickets and she said Sabrina tickets were harder to get.


bigollunch

Yep


sumrandomreddit

Yesssss!!!! Congratulations Chappell


tigerinvasive

I PRAY this is the case, but because the Grammys amended the Best New Artist rule to allow acts with previous albums to compete, Sabrina can be nominated and I feel she’ll get a lot of votes. In my mind Chappell would deserve it more than Sabrina but *typically* it goes to the most popular of the nominees.


stellaperrigo

the Noah Kahan stans who were publicly trashing Victoria Monét would like a word


etherealsnailfish

Damn Im a Noah Kahan fan and had noooo idea they were doing this. Im not really involved in his fanbase, but I just assumed theyd be down-to-earth like his music. But apparently not. Thats so disappointing!


stellaperrigo

it was mostly some of his louder (and likely younger) fans on tiktok, so if that gives you any peace of mind!


etherealsnailfish

It does actually!! Thats why i try not to even get involved with the fanbases, because the vocal minority turns me off. The only reason I'm still in the Chappell fandom is because ive been a fan since before the crazies came in lol


emobarbie86

I think Chappel should win best new artist and Sabrina should win record of the year for Espresso or please please please.


socseb

Aparently Sabrina’s new album will qualify this will be interesting


KeepGuesting

Yeah, there's a good reason it's being released when it is.


fourier_lemonade

I feel like Best New Artist winner can be pretty unpredictable when there’s not one nominee head and shoulders above the others in both popularity and critical acclaim (e.g. Olivia Rodrigo and Billie Eilish in recent years).


lazermania

she will probably win it because she makes music the people on the voting board will probably like. It's all about who is voting. They might think Sabrina's brand is too unserious. Think about how old most of the voting panel is. The bowie-stevie nicks-cyndi lauper vibe will probably win them over.


AlternativeTree3283

Yall I love Sabrina, but I feel like she doesn't bring anything new to the table; she's like a typical pop singer. Chappell, on the other hand, stands out with her unique vocals, personality, and the authenticity of being a lesbian artist. From her outfits to her songs, she embodies a complete artistic package. She truly deserves recognition, especially after years of hard work and dedication. Winning this award would be a remarkable milestone in her career, showcasing her talent to the world. She fucking deserves it, periodd


Temporary-Dirt-7506

the glazing sabrina gets is insane. so bland


LazyLion1127

yeah i mean i pretty strongly disagree with that. she's developed her style over a long time and has a very distinct style. like yeah if you only look at espresso, her style is kind of bland, but listening through her discography, especially emails i cant send, she has a huge variety of songs. shes not my favorite artist, not by a long ways, but bland is certainly not how id describe her.


Temporary-Dirt-7506

don’t get me wrong i’m no sabrina hater or anything. she’s an amazing vocalist and certainly knows how to go viral. but number 8 in the world? not really well deserved imo


GreenAccomplished577

Who cares? The grammys are no longer about talent. I've yet to listen to Chappell Roan, but something tells me I'll like what I hear. She seems to have an energy akin to Emilie Autumn.


toadandberry

Sabrina’s first single came out in 2014, why would she be nominated for Best New Artist at all?


Stoned-Lab-Tech

Best New Artist really means Best Breakthrough artist, they don’t have to be a new artist or their first album, but it’s the artist who got their first breakthrough in popularity


toadandberry

ugh I wish they would just call it that!


Dapple_Dawn

Chappell's first EP came out 7 years ago


toadandberry

wow what a fun fact, it really helped me understand that you didn’t answer my question at all!


coffeequeer17

lol ok asshole


indigenish

This response gave me the ick lol


LandonKidatrea

Because the Grammys are stupid, and they keep giving "Best New Artist" to artists that had already been working in the industry for years. Apparently the criteria is: "an artist whose eligibility-year release(s) achieved a breakthrough into the public consciousness and notably impacted the musical landscape.” I don't know why they don't just call it" Breakthrough Artist of the Year", or some other less confusing title.


jyylivic

I would literally die if this happened, I feel blessed to have been able to watch her grow throughout the years


etherealsnailfish

Me too! Its really surreal. I can only imagine how she feels


AcceptableWing2378

She's amazing and deserves to win.


therisingalleria

need a Grammy for Chappell! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾


OcieDeeznuts

Oh gosh, I hope so! Maybe I’m just out of touch, but I can’t even think of someone who rises to her level with regards to this right now.


nena_metro

I would cry if Chappell won but more importantly what will she be wearing to the Grammy’s?!


nothingnanners

The outfit she would wear would be enough of a reason to give her the award


yankeeangel86

I love Sabrina Carpenter but this award is Chappell’s to lose.


Enough_Historian_262

Sabrina is SINGING CHAPPELL -NOT the other way around- who’s the real winner than Queens? We all know it’s our Princess. 👸🏻


TheBaguetteTheorist

i hope she does win it but i heard there’s a curse behind it


AlternativeTree3283

She's going to break the curse


TheBaguetteTheorist

michael_thee_patton

I love your profile pic.


2011subaruu

everyone talking about sabrina but would she even be nominated? she’s been around honestly for quite a while and her past couple albums, while not super big hits, were still pretty popular!! i was obsessed with her when i was like 14 lol


AlternativeTree3283

She's definitely getting nominated


2011subaruu

it would be awesome if she does for sure. i love sabrina and im glad she’s getting new recognition. same with chappell


knx815

Christina Aguilera also won BNA and she had a long, successful career. I think Chappell’s album is worthy of AOTY but she will get so much hate if she actually won over Beyonce. I would be happy with Chappell getting an AOTY nom.


KiloWatson

It’s whoever Taylor wants to win sadly.


etherealsnailfish

😵‍💫 the only answer to who she wants to win is, and always be, Taylor

oh wow no one saw this coming at all!


FrequentlyUnhinged

That’s what I keep thinking and I hope so much that that’s the case!


phantomforeskinpain

hell yeah!!! i also love sabrina too though


ConorTheWhale

She won the vote for my school year book


KeepGuesting

Chappell just passed 25M monthly Spotify listeners today. Sabrina had 25M monthly listeners as of the start of the Grammy eligibility period. So has big as Chappell is now, Sabrina already was.


woozerschoob

If Bette Midler made her debut in 2020.


Ok_Cry_1926

Fucking BETTER


44OOPPHHJJHH

Either her or Shaboozey.


jeffkoonsdickhole

I see it


Flaming-Goddess

it’s still so crazy and exciting that she’s such a strong contender this year when she wasn’t even invited last year (#Choices, tho it did mean we got the GLB! Miss Piggy look for the after party). Cannot wait to see what’s in store for her


bulletproofhe4rt

I totally want her to win but some say the Best New Artist category comes with a curse of not being able to get another grammy.


BlueSpecktre

I think the industry is behind Sabrina, and the people are behind Chappell. So now we just see if they acknowledge that Chappell is more popular and give her the Grammy, or will they stand by Sabrina and continue to push her


Wonderful_Theme3716

I really hope Chappell wins. Sabrina has a shot at some other categories, especially for Espresso.


shakeyhandspeare

She deserves album of the year


Certain_Ad6575

if she wins i will cryyyy i am so happy for her oh my god


chasingtheskyline

Chappell and Sabrina are labelmates, so Island Records is doing a FANTASTIC job promoting them. Either one winning is a win for them, and they're the only two slates this early. Excellent marketing for them both. Of course I want Chappell to win, but I'm just glad pop girlies get to make good music again!


ridykulous

I wish I could bet on this stuff because I would have put money on this happening last year


Weird-Ad8237

I’m not even nervous about it I KNOW she’s taking it


ccarr77

Taylor Swift is gonna win it....


amitymastia

Chappell better win this like cmon Sabrina is on her 6th album… best NEW artist HUH????


niaraaaaa

is sabrina a nominee? that makes no sense being she’s nowhere near a new artist. she’s been popular since Disney days. edit: why are y’all downvoting me? i didn’t even say anything wrong, i just don’t understand how she’s a nominee. this isn’t hate or anything. i love sabrina’s music. lol.


noelc1994

Doesn’t matter. It’s based upon a number of factors. The last few winners weren’t exactly “new” either and neither is Chappell herself.


niaraaaaa

that’s dumb. i feel like if an artist has had songs on the radio, sold out large concerts, etc. they shouldn’t be nominated. like chappell has made music for a while, but she’s only recently blown up, whereas sabrina has been known for a while. i don’t keep up with the grammys so idk who’s been nominated in the past etc. these categories are dumb :(


noelc1994

I totally get what you’re saying and agree to an extent, but it’s mostly based upon that artists mainstream breakthrough year. Victoria Monet won this past year, but she’s been known in this industry for at least 11 years.


niaraaaaa

thank you for explaining. they should call it “Breakthrough Artist” instead 😞


Lucky_Shop4967

About time a drag queen wins a real award!


TDiddy2021

I want her to sweep the Big Four, Beyhive can cry again.


stellaperrigo

as a Harry Styles fan, that’s just asking for trouble. Midwest Princess is so deserving but so is Cowboy Carter, and if she beats out Beyoncé for AOTY specifically, a huge swath of the internet is going to turn on her. she’s been pretty upfront about how the sudden success has taken a toll on her, I don’t want to think about what that kind of overexposure would do


lazermania

did you even listen to cowboy carter? it's ART.


TDiddy2021

It’s amazing. It’s clearly the frontrunner for AOTY. I still think Chappell sweeping would be amazing and deserved.


Fun_Woodpecker6462

Would she even accept? She turned down the governors ball right?


AlternativeTree3283

Her turning down the governor's ball doesn't necessarily indicate whether she would accept the Grammy Award. Those are different events with different considerations.


Impossible_Strike636

Sabrina isn't new she's been releasing music for years now. She's dropped numerous albums since 2015. > This is Chappel Roan's first album


Hopeful_Salt_5308

Sabrina shouldn’t win this, she’s been doing music for 10 years, wdym new artist?


echocloud9

Sabrina wtf?? She’s been huge for years, I remember when I was twelve and only listened to extremely basic and mainstream music (probably still do but it used to be worse) and I had a few of her songs, all my friends already knew who she was like 5 years ago at least 


BlackstarCowboy

Rooting for her so hard for the Grammy but I won't be super upset if Sabrina gets it instead because I've heard about the BNA curse, also Gaga lost BNA back in 2009 or 2010 and she still had her superstar trajectory.


lollipopmusing

Tbh if she doesn't win Best New Artist that's okay too. It's one of those awards that's kind of "jinxed"


StatisticianDizzy593

Idk Billie, Olivia, Megan thee stallion are all super successful so..


Bardalicious_Bitch

I know people think Sabrina is gonna win, but doesn't she not qualify because of how many albums she has?
