Here Are All the Nominees for the 2016 Grammy Awards

And here’s who we think will win. 

The nominees for the 58th annual Grammy Awards were just announced, and it looks it’s going to be an evening of stiff competition between Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, and The Weeknd. No host has been announced yet, but we’ll spend our time waiting for that revelation by taking a long hard look at who got nods, and placing our bets on who will come away a winner at the end of the night (in bold) on February 15, 2016.
