What do you think of this year’s nominations?

Taylor swift??? is it me? or did Kanye West make that girl what she is? she has good songs. but come on, shes an okay singer. i dont know, not hating on her. im glad shes successful. but if that Kanye west thing didnt happen, do you think she would be nominated 5 times? seriously. what Kanye did was so dumb and cruel. but he helped her out big time!
