Who will win, and who should win at the 2023 Grammys

Can you believe the Grammys are almost here?

Musicā€™s biggest night will surely be one for the books. With nominees like BeyoncĆ©, Adele, Lizzo and Harry Styles, you never know who is going to show up to perform.

Weā€™re obviously excited for all of the performances, but itā€™s even more exciting to see who will take home the top prizes of the evening. Of course, award shows always donā€™t get it right, so thatā€™s why I thought Iā€™d be fun to make some predictions on who I think will win the award, and who should have won instead.

Letā€™s do it!


Record Of The Year

  • ā€œDonā€™t Shut Me Downā€ by ABBA
  • ā€œEasy On Meā€ by Adele
  • ā€œBREAK MY SOULā€ by BeyoncĆ©
  • ā€œGood Morning Gorgeousā€ by Mary J. Blige
  • ā€œYou And Me On The Rockā€ by Brandi Carlile Featuring Lucius
  • ā€œWomanā€ by Doja Cat
  • ā€œBad Habitā€ by Steve Lacy
  • ā€œThe Heart Part 5ā€³ by Kendrick Lamar
  • ā€œAbout Damn Timeā€ by Lizzo
  • ā€œAs It Wasā€ by Harry Styles

Who will win: ā€œEasy on Meā€ by Adele

Who should win: ā€œAbout Damn Timeā€ by Lizzo

The Grammys love Adele, and it wonā€™t be surprising if she sweeps all the categories sheā€™s nominated in, but at the end of the day, I just think ā€œAbout Damn Timeā€ by Lizzo is a better song. It was without a doubt the song of the summer in 2022, and Lizzo just honestly deserves it all.

Album of the Year

  • Voyage by ABBA
  • 30 by Adele
  • Un Verano Sin Ti by Bad Bunny
  • RENAISSANCE by BeyoncĆ©
  • Good Morning Gorgeous (Deluxe) by Mary J. Blige
  • In These Silent Days by Brandi Carlile
  • Music Of The Spheres by Coldplay
  • Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers by Kendrick Lamar
  • Special by Lizzo
  • Harryā€™s House by Harry Styles

Who will win: Adele

Who should win: BeyoncƩ

Honestly, after Adele beat BeyoncĆ© a few years ago for Album of the Year, I donā€™t have much faith in the Grammys to award BeyoncĆ© with the big award of the night. Itā€™s without a doubt that Adeleā€™s ā€œ30ā€³ was a massive success, but BeyoncĆ©'s Renaissance was unreal. It was the most thought-provoking, inspired and sonically stunning album of the year.

Song Of The Year

  • ā€œabcdefuā€ ā€”  Sara Davis, GAYLE & Dave Pittenger, songwriters (GAYLE)
  • ā€œAbout Damn Timeā€ ā€” Melissa ā€œLizzoā€ Jefferson, Eric Frederic, Blake Slatkin & Theron Makiel Thomas, songwriters (Lizzo)
  • ā€œAll Too Well (10 Minute Version) (The Short Film)ā€ ā€” Liz Rose & Taylor Swift, songwriters (Taylor Swift)
  • ā€œAs It Wasā€ ā€” Tyler Johnson, Kid Harpoon & Harry Styles, songwriters (Harry Styles)
  • ā€œBad Habitā€ ā€” Matthew Castellanos, Brittany FousheĆ©, Diana Gordon, John Carroll Kirby & Steve Lacy, songwriters (Steve Lacy)
  • ā€œBREAK MY SOULā€ ā€” BeyoncĆ©, S. Carter, Terius ā€œThe-Dreamā€ Gesteelde-Diamant & Christopher A. Stewart, songwriters (BeyoncĆ©)
  • ā€œEasy On Meā€ ā€” Adele Adkins & Greg Kurstin, songwriters (Adele)
  • ā€œGOD DIDā€ ā€” Tarik Azzouz, E. Blackmon, Khaled Khaled, F. LeBlanc, Shawn Carter, John Stephens, Dwayne Carter, William Roberts & Nicholas Warwar, songwriters (DJ Khaled Featuring Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, John Legend & Fridayy)
  • ā€œThe Heart Part 5ā€³ ā€” Jake Kosich, Johnny Kosich, Kendrick Lamar & Matt Schaeffer, songwriters (Kendrick Lamar)
  • ā€œJust Like Thatā€ ā€” Bonnie Raitt, songwriter (Bonnie Raitt)

Who will win: Taylor Swift

Who should win: Adele

Of the four big awards, this should be the award that Adele takes home. ā€œEasy On Meā€ was the perfect comeback single for the singer, and since Song of the Year is a songwriting award, it should go to Adele. However, I think the Grammys will award it to Taylor Swift. Even though the original song is 10 years old, her rerelease of it with a lot more added lyrics may win her the prize. Itā€™s a song that has some of her best songwriting, but given itā€™s a song that has existed for a decade, I think Adele should win over it.

Best New Artist

  • Anitta
  • Omar Apollo
  • DOMi & JD Beck
  • Muni Long
  • Samara Joy
  • Latto
  • MĆ„neskin
  • Tobe Nwigwe
  • Molly Tuttle
  • Wet Leg

Who will win: Wet Leg

Who should win: Wet Leg

To be honest, I really donā€™t know a lot of these artists. Maybe itā€™s because Iā€™m in my 30s now and I donā€™t keep up with who is new and hot, but I legit have only heard of like four of the nominees. That being said, Wet Leg is my favorite of the bunch. The indie rock duo came out of nowhere last year and released one of the best debut albums ever. I actually doubt they will win the award, but in a perfect world, they would.
