2014 Grammy Awards Predictions vs. Results

The staff and readers of The Boot were pretty accurate when we predicted the winners for the 2014 Grammy Awards last week.

Taylor Swift ended up empty-handed after our readers predicted she would win Best Country Album, which ended up going to Kacey Musgraves  -- as the staff predicted. Multiple nominee Blake Shelton and his wife Miranda Lambert were also shut out, while Darius Rucker, the Civil Wars and more were big winners.
