Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff have emerged as the front-runners for Best Song Written for Visual Media at the 2027 Grammys, thanks to“I Knew It, I Knew You”from Toy Story 5. A win would give Swift her second trophy in this category and mark the first time songs from two different installments of the same film franchise have taken the prize. Randy Newman previously won for“When She Loved Me”from Toy Story 2.
Lady Gaga and Doechii aren’t making it easy, though. Their collaboration“Runway”from The Devil Wears Prada 2 has serious momentum, and the category also includes entries from Ludwig Göransson, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Diane Warren. With 149 songs competing for only five or six nomination slots, this is one of the deepest fields the Grammys have seen in years.
Nominations for the 69th annual Grammy Awards will be announced November 16, with possible nominees also emerging from Moana, Avatar: Fire and Ash, The Odyssey, and Train Dreams. Which song from a movie or TV show do you think deserves to take home the gold this year?
