While Adele is topping many lists as the favorite to win here, Taylor's 10-minute long version of All Too Well has also captured the hearts of many hoping it will win Song of the year.

Unlike Record of the year, which honors the artists, engineers, and producers who worked on the recording, Song of the year focuses on the composition of the song and awards the songwriters behind it.
