Although the Grammys are not a traditional music award show, the 2022 ceremony will feature a broader range of categories and an all-star lineup. The songwriters’ category will feature a mix of genres and styles.
Some categories, including best new artist, are purely subjective, but they are worth mentioning. Some of the most popular categories include: song of the year, best new artist, and record of the year.
