2025 Grammy Predictions and Betting Odds

Taylor Swift earns another Album of the Year nomination after winning in 2023 for Midnights. It was her fourth win in this category, and that has a lot to do with her Grammy odds in 2025. But Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department has some stiff competition. At -275, you could have bet on Swift and it would be a fine wager, but there isn’t much value there. However, the value is there now at +175.

Billie Eilish is the new favorite at entertainment betting sites at -125 for Hit Me Hard and Soft, which is down from +550 when the nominations were announced in November. Eilish’s third album was on essentially every Top 10 list to end 2025, which likely caused a big shift in her 2025 Grammy odds!

Instead, I’m recommending Beyoncé for Cowboy Carter at +450! Beyoncé has, somehow, never won Album of the Year, and this will be her fifth nomination for the category. She also has 99 nominations overall, which is the most in Grammy history, but has never won for Album or Record of the Year. She had better value at +700 in November, but +450 is still a good price for “Queen Bey”!

Cowboy Carter got tons of attention for being a country album, yet, still distinctly Beyoncé, and this could be the one that finally gets her Album of the Year. Again, +450 is a decent price at online sportsbooks, and it could end up being the steal of my Grammy predictions for 2025!

If you were wondering difference between Record and Song of the Year, Record of the Year is more of a technical category for producers, and even engineers that contributed to the recording. Song of the Year is more about the writing and composition of the song. It’s a good distinction to know before you start your Grammys betting plans for 2025.

The Beatles’ “Now and Then” at +1500 is an interesting option as it is a song started by the late John Lennon in 1977. But it was completed in 2022 with AI assistance, and there are some who feel it should not be nominated.

In terms of value, I really liked “Not Like Us” from Kendrick Lamar at +700 in November. I do still like it at +325 in January. Lamar’s diss track against Drake took the summer by storm, and he has parlayed that into headlining the halftime show for Super Bowl 59! However, I’m not sure if the Academy will reward the controversial content. Still, “Not Like Us” might be a part of your hedge betting strategy.

So, I’m going to take Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” at -200, and it was +200 in November. It’s simply a nice, breezy summer song that gets stuck in your ear.

Given the definition of the Record and Song of the Year categories, I think “Espresso” would have been a better choice for Carpenter here, but I digress. For betting value, “Fortnight” by Taylor Swift and featuring Post Malone, is a strong online sports betting wager at +1200. While I didn’t pick her album, despite being favored for Album of the Year, Swift is going to take home some sort of hardware at the 2025 Grammys.

I also like Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” at +1500, simply because it’s still receiving a ton of radio play. But those Grammy 2025 odds at offshore sportsbooks are a little too long.

Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” is still the favorite in this category, of which she’s a two-time winner, including last year for “What Was I Made For” from the Barbie soundtrack. She was at -110 in November, but I’ll still stick with her at -125 as a safe choice, and it’s more upbeat than last year’s winner.
