There is something special about every season.

Fall has Pumpkin Spice Lattes and cozy sweaters, winter brings us fresh snow and family gatherings, spring has lovely flowers and new beginnings, and summer has a multitude of outdoor activities to be enjoyed by all. However, my favorite season of all is awards season — and with awards season comes the night to be loved (and hated) by all – the Grammys.

A night full of wardrobe malfunctions, uncomfortable interview questions, interactions between celebrities who have had it out on social media, and camera pans to Taylor Swift dancing awkwardly in her seat — what’s not to love? The Grammys can be confusing for some, with terms like “Record of the Year” and “Song of the Year” – how are they different? How are they the same? What exactly is the definition of “rock” music? All of these of these questions will unfold before our eyes on February 15, but to help you make it through, here is a guide to what the Grammys are really all about.

Fun fact: My predictions are starred — don’t judge me! These are my predictions, not desired winners. Side note: these are not all the categories, just the most popular/interesting. Sorry, Best Children’s Album — maybe next year.
