Taylor Swift [1]'s Reputation [2] broke a handful of records [3] last year, but it isn't up for a Grammy this year. No, the 10-time winner didn't get snubbed — her sixth album simply wasn't eligible. To be considered for the 2018 Grammys, albums must be released between Oct. 1, 2016, and Sept. 30, 2017 [4]. While Swift's lead single, "Look What You Made Me Do [5]," was released during that window, Reputation, which dropped on Nov. 10, missed the cutoff date by a little over a month.
Even though Reputation isn't up for any awards, Swift still managed to nab two Grammy nominations: one for "I Don't Wanna Live Forever [6]," her duet with Zayn Malik on the Fifty Shades Darker [7] soundtrack, and another for her songwriting credit on Little Big Town's "Better Man." While Swift didn't end up taking home either of the awards [8] during the show, we have a feeling she will have even more opportunities to win next year when Reputation is Grammy-eligible.
