Will Beyoncé’s country era be better recognized by Grammy voters?
The superstar had one of the biggest songs of the year with “Texas Hold ‘Em” and her country album, Cowboy Carter, was well-received by critics. Beyoncé made history as the first Black woman to debut at No. 1 on the Top Country Albums chart, yet she was snubbed when she failed to earn even one nomination at the 2024 CMA Awards.
That should change at the Grammys.
Beyoncé remains the most-nominated female artist in Grammy history and she’ll likely add to that on Friday.
She already holds the title as the artist with the most wins ever, with 32 awards. However, the singer also has a history of being snubbed by Recording Academy voters as she’s never won in the prestigious Album of the Year category.
Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter among singers on ballot for Best New Artist
One of the biggest awards at the Grammys is Best New Artist, with past winners including Billie Eilish, Megan Thee Stallion, Adele and John Legend. Who will join the prestigious group in 2025?
Sabrina Carpenter (“Espresso”), Chappell Roan (“Good Luck, Babe!”), Benson Boone (“Beautiful Things”), Shaboozey (“A Bar Song (Tipsy)”) and Teddy Swims (“Lose Control”) are all eligible this year and considered frontrunners to make the cut.
Some wonder how Carpenter can be considered in the category when she just released her sixth album in August. Is she really new?
According to Grammys’ rules and guidelines, “eligible artists must have achieved a breakthrough into the public consciousness and impacted the musical landscape during the year’s eligibility period.”
It’s clear Carpenter had breakthrough relevance since Sept. 15, 2023, the final day of the previous eligibility year.
