My two favorite times of the year are Christmastime and award season. I’m very diligent about getting my homework done in preparation for whichever is coming up: seeing every Best Picture nominee for the The Oscars, and listening to any nominated album I haven’t heard yet for the Grammys.
The Oscars air later this month, and the Grammys are this Sunday, so I’m going to be a busy girl over the next few days and weeks! I love appreciating all the incredible music that has been released over the last year and watching artists perform (in creative, sometimes downright weird, ways) the songs we’ve been listening to on repeat. But I have to admit my favorite part of the Grammys, or any award show, is making predictions as to who will win within each of the major categories. Now, my guesses don’t necessarily represent who I’d like to win–but here’s who I have my money on for the 2019 Grammy Awards in the Country category:
Best Country Solo Performance Nominees:
Wouldn’t It Be Great? – Loretta Lynn
Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters – Maren Morris
Butterflies – Kacey Musgraves
