While he has undoubtedly been one of the more prominent recording artists in recent years, the absence of Travis Scott from the Grammys’ roll of honor is one gap in an otherwise impressive career. Could that be about to change?
For the next Grammy ceremony, scheduled for February 2027, Scott is one of the artists making an early run as a contender. This would hopefully, from Scott’s point of view, end a run of ten nominations without a single award win. Here, we look at his chances of snapping that unwelcome streak.
Travis Scott’s Grammy Record So Far
Among his nominations, Travis Scott has been slated for Best Rap Album for both Astroworld and Utopia. This is in addition to multiple nods for singles including Sicko Mode and Love Galore, as well as a Best Sung/Rap performance nomination for Young Thug’s The London. Yet, as stated, he has yet to be given the ultimate accolade of walking off with an award, which may explain why prediction market platforms remain cautious for 2027.
Why Might Travis Scott Be in the Running for a Grammy in 2027?
Scott has already sold more records than most artists sell in a lifetime; his commercial success is not in doubt. But the recognition of the industry has been withheld thus far. Why could that be about to change?
When I’m Home Opens a Different Avenue
The awards for Best Rap Album and other categories have eluded Scott, but in 2027 he will be eligible in a different category: his contribution to the end-credits song from The Odyssey makes him a prospect for Best Song Written for Visual Media. Given the movie’s huge success, it’s a reasonable prospect for recognition.
It’s Not His Only Path to an Award
Scott is a contributing artist, along with Future, on DJ Snake’s Tsunami, which was released within the eligibility period for nomination. While this doesn’t guarantee an actual nomination, much less an award, it’s another ticket to a potential Grammy nod after ten missed opportunities.
Factors That Could Prevent Travis Scott From Winning
Of course, nothing is guaranteed in the industry, and until he walks up those steps to collect a statue, there are reasons to suspect his dry spell may continue.
His 0-for-10 Record
Nothing is certain until it happens. And whatever the reason, the Grammy juries have been reluctant to give the honor of an award win even after ten nominations. Last nominated in 2024 for Utopia, Scott went home empty-handed again. And there’s little doubt that Slant’s culture predictions have him as “only” a 16% possibility this time around.
His Next Album Has Yet to Be Announced, Let Alone Released
The eligibility window for consideration to be nominated for 2027 is closing: it will be fully closed after the deadline of August 28. While Scott confirmed last month that he is working on another album, it would be a very speedy turnaround to get it out before that date, so it will probably be under consideration for 2028’s ceremony.
What Analysts and Forecast Models Are Saying
The truth of the matter is that in a binary “Yes/No” market for culture predictions, Travis Scott’s potential chances to win an award at next February’s gala currently sit at 16%, which makes “No” a much more likely answer as things stand. Of course, this is before any nominations are announced. If confirmed as nominated in any category, Scott’s chances will leap from their current status – because then he’s not up against everybody, he’s just competing with a shortlist of artists.
How to Trade This Question at Kalshi
At the current time, it would be risky to predict that Travis Scott will end his run of disappointment at the Grammys. He may well be nominated as part of the Odyssey soundtrack, and his performance on Tsunami represents another path to the award. But until he’s nominated, he’s just another artist who is eligible and hasn’t released a new album, which gives him a limited chance of eventual victory.
| Artist | Kalshi Market | Current Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Travis Scott | Win any category at the 69th Grammys | 16% |
| Rosalia | Lux wins Album of the Year | 65% |
| Olivia Rodrigo | you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love wins Album of the Year | 45% |
Given that two comparably successful artists are favored more for specific awards at this point, we’d be disinclined to say right now that 2027 will be the year Travis Scott ends his run without a Grammy. But the nominations are announced in November, and if he’s on any list then, that 16% will likely increase.
