Taylor Swift was not snubbed at the 2026 Grammys because she did not release any eligible work during the award's eligibility period; her next chance to compete will be at the 69th Annual Grammy Awards in 2027.
The Recording Academy has adjusted the eligibility period for the 66th Grammy Awards again, extending it by two weeks to September 15, 2023, after listening to concerns from some members of the music community. The eligibility period for entries is from October 1, 2022, to September 15, 2023. The change benefits the awards process and grants flexibility throughout Grammy season, according to Harvey Mason jr., the Academy's CEO. The schedule has been more irregular since the 51st annual Grammy Awards.
