Here Are Taylor Swift’s Likely Grammy Competitors for Best Song Written for Visual Media

Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff appear to be the Grammy front-runners for best song written for visual media with “I Knew It, I Knew You,” the charming pop/country tune they co-wrote for Toy Story 5 .

It would be Swift’s second win in this category: “Safe & Sound,” which she co-wrote with T Bone Burnett and The Civil Wars for The Hunger Games , won in 2013.

This would mark the first time that songs from two separate installments of a film franchise have won.

There are 149 songs on this year’s entry list in this category vying for just five or six slots on the final ballot. (The number has varied in recent years.) What other songs are likely to be in the running when the 69th annual Grammy nominations are announced on Nov.

16? Lady Gaga and Doechii have a good chance with “Runway,” which they co-wrote with Dernst “D Mile” Emile II, Jayda Love, Bruno Mars, Cirkut and Andrew Watt for The Devil Wears Prada 2 .

Gaga is a two-time winner in the category for co-writing “Shallow” (2019) and “I’ll Never Love Again” (2020), both from A Star Is Born. (The Grammy entry list does not list Gaga as a co-writer, but that will likely be corrected if the song makes it to the final ballot.) A second song from The Devil Wears Prada 2 is also in the running: “Material Lover,” which Sienna Spiro co-wrote with Omer Fedi and Michael Pollack.

Spiro is one of the likely front-runners for best new artist.

Ludwig Göransson , who had two nominated songs in the category at the Grammy ceremony earlier this year (“I Lied to You” and “Pale, Pale Moon,” both from Sinners ), is entered with “When I’m Home” from The Odyssey (which he co-wrote with James Blake, Travis Scott and the film’s director, Christopher Nolan).

The Odyssey is the second-highest grossing film of 2026, behind Spider Man: Brand New Day.

Lin-Manuel Miranda , a two-time winner in the category, is entered with “Along the Way” from Moana (which he cowrote with Opetaia Foa’i and Mark Mancina).

Miranda’s previous wins are both for songs he wrote by himself: “How Far I’ll Go” from the original Moana and “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” from Encanto.

Diane Warren , who has received a record 11 nominations in this category, is entered with “By Any Means” from the film of the same name.
