This week, the Recording Academy announced a big change to the way it honors country music at the Grammys. From 1995 through this year, it presented the Best Country Album trophy to the best release in the genre during the preceding year. Starting in 2026, however, the single award will become two separate ones: Best Contemporary Country Album and Best Traditional Country Album. It’s a much-anticipated change that comes at an auspicious time.

Elon Musk has a history of making projections that don’t end up coming to pass. Some of them are silly: Shortly after acquiring Twitter, he said he expected it to surpass a billion monthly users by mid-2024 (estimates for that year put the number around a third that many). Others are more consequential, like when he insisted in March 2020 that COVID cases in the U.S. would be “close to zero” in about six weeks (he was off by 103 million).

i understand why media folks who’ve stuck around feel like this is still the best place to talk with industry peers (at least without having to start from scratch at bsky 😥), but twitter can only be a powerful disinformation vector because they do that https://t.co/iDX9LpvVDK
