Nejprve je třeba říct, že letos se country umělci nedokázali probojovat ani do jedné ze čtyř hlavních multižánrových kategorií, takže lze čekat, že žánr jako takový bude na příštích Grammy dost oslaben i co do poštu vystoupení během živého přenosu. Kompletní nominace naleznete výše. Šanci na posmrtný gramofonek má i Glen Campbell a někteří jako Reba McEntire nebo The Mavericks se dostali do dalších kategorií, které nejsou ryze countryové. Grammy 2018 se budou předávat 28. ledna v Madison Square Garden v New Yorku.
