I dont even think thats true, tbh.

the album most people wanted to win was SOS by SZA, which had more hits than Midnights, and may have even sold more (the metrics of measuring sales are murky now with streaming but the list I saw put SOS at #2 best selling album of 2023 and Midnights at #3)

AND it was more critically acclaimed, being rated higher, making and topping more year end lists, already winning other AOTY awards, etc

When Midnights came out, 9 of the Billboard top 10 songs were off the album. I am guessing SZA didn't have that impact. Midnights was the #1 album in 2022. Here is the list I found from Billboards for the top 10 albums of 2023:

Rankings wise Midnights was in the 2022 lists while SZA was in 2023, so you can't quite compare them. Maybe its just because T Swifts old albums like Folklore and Lover were still somehow in the 2023 top 10, plus her re-released albums also being in the top 10 really made me overestimate the effects of Midnights specifically? But I don't even know what SZA is lol

Poor Morgan Wallen though he crushed both of them and didn't even get nominated lol
