We likely will not be seeing Zach Bryan at the Grammys in 2025 because he has been left off the awards ballot.
Variety reports that Zach‘s name is no-where to be seen on the Recording Academy’s online ballot. He is not featured in any of the categories, including country, rock, or Americana.

Other music stars who have left themselves off the Grammys ballot in recent years include Drake and The Weeknd.
