Jelly Roll and The War and Treaty Steal the Spotlight in Grammy Nominations

The 66th Grammy Awards nominations dropped like a musical bombshell, and Nashville creators are standing tall among the elite. Jelly Roll, the crowned Best New Artist at the recent CMA Awards, and The War and Treaty, are redefining the term “Music City” with their inclusion in the most coveted all-genre categories.

But hold on to your cowboy hats; there’s a catch. The 66th Grammys, set to air live on CBS on February 4, might be skipping some of Nashville’s critically acclaimed names in the major categories. Don’t expect to see Brandy Clark, Lainey Wilson, or Chris Stapleton vying for Album, Record, Song, or Producer of the Year outside of their designated genre lanes.

Nevertheless, it’s time for a hoot and holler because there’s still plenty of reasons to pop the champagne. Let’s break down the categories where Nashville’s finest will be locking horns with other musical titans, all chosen by the discerning members of the Recording Academy.
