Ariana Grande May Soon Match Taylor Swift’s All-Time Record

Ariana Grande’s “Twilight Zone” from Eternal Sunshine deluxe may earn her a fifth Grammy nod for ... More Best Pop Solo Performance—but she’s never won the award.

Her consolation prize, however, was a different kind of recognition: she was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Wicked . As the world waits for the second half of that musical blockbuster, Grande dropped several new tunes and re-released her album Eternal Sunshine . The focus of the updated full-length may bring her back to the Grammys in just a few months — and it could help her make history. “Twilight Zone” is the standout from Eternal Sunshine: Brighter Days Ahead , the deluxe edition of the full-length. The track is the only single pushed from the project – at least thus far – and it’s one of five brand new cuts added to the tracklist. The song became a top 20 hit on the Hot 100 and has been steadily gaining at pop radio for weeks. Now, it seems like a real contender for the Grammy for Best Pop Solo Performance — especially in a year that doesn’t look like it will be nearly as competitive as recent ceremonies. Grande has already been nominated for Best Pop Solo Performance four times. She’s been up for the prize for her smashes “Dangerous Woman,” “God Is a Woman,” “7 Rings,” and “Positions.” Somehow, though, she’s never taken home the golden gramophone. Currently, Grande is tied with Adele and Kelly Clarkson for the third-most nominations in the Best Pop Solo Performance category. Only Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift have scored more, and they lead with five apiece. If “Twilight Zone” earns Grande another nod — which seems highly likely — she will match Eilish and Swift. Although, it’s also possible that either of those women could end up nominated as well. Eilish pushed a new tune from her album Hit Me Hard and Soft , “Wildflower,” in time to be eligible for the upcoming ceremony. Swift doesn’t appear to have anything that’s a fit at the moment, but that could change, as there are still several months left in the current window, which ends on August 30. Will “Twilight Zone” finally give Grande her first moment on top in this busy field, or will she have to settle for a fifth loss in a row? Either way, she may soon be headed for a historic showing in what is considered one of the most competitive fields at the Grammys.
