Changes

As usual, had a number of small changes in the voting and awarding process: * New categories The Best American Roots Performance is a new category in the American Roots genre field. It was presented to the creators of the best performance in this genre field, which includes traditional Northern American (or ''regional roots'') musical styles such as cajun, zydeco, polka and others. Another new category is the Best Roots Gospel Album in the Gospel genre field, for gospel albums in the aforementioned musical styles, including traditional southern Gospel music. * Changes in the Gospel categories The Gospel genre field was redefined to make a clearer distinction between the traditional gospel music and the style known as Contemporary Christian Music (CCM). As mentioned above, the Best Roots Gospel Album category is new. The categories in the Gospel field will now be known as ''Best Gospel Performance/Song'', ''Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song'', ''Best Gospel Album'', ''Best Contemporary Christian Music Album'' and ''Best Roots Gospel Album''. * Samples allowed For the first time, the use of samples and/or interpolations of other works in a new track was permitted in the various songwriters categories. Until now, samples were only allowed in the Best Rap Song category, but these are now also eligible in the Song of the Year, Best Rock Song, Best R&B Song, Best Country Song, Best Gospel Performance/Song, Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song, Best American Roots Song and Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media, Best Song Written For Visual Media categories. * A few minor name changes.

Notes

# Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne, writers of the song "I Won't Back Down" (1989) and credited co-writers of " Stay with Me", were given special award certificates by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences in place of a Grammy Award for Song of the Year.
