Music’s biggest night isn’t until Feb. 2, but the 67th annual Grammy Awards are gearing up to be a show not to be missed. Beyoncé, who made history with her country album Cowboy Carter, leads the pack with 11 nominations. She’s the most-nominated artist in Grammys history.
Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan and Charli XCX, who all skyrocketed to fame this year, each earned first nominations for Album of the Year. They will compete for the top prize with Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish and Beyoncé. Andre 3000 and Jacob Collier round out the category, which could come as a surprise to some.
Carpenter and Roan also scored nominations for Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best New Artist. The pop stars are the only artists to earn nominations across what’s known as the “Big Four” categories.
It wasn’t only female singers who had breakout years. Country newcomer Shaboozey scored five nominations, including Best New Artist and Song of the Year for his smash hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy).”
As predicted, Kendrick Lamar’s big year continues as his Drake diss-track “Not Like Us” was nominated for Song of the Year and Record of the Year. He earned seven nominations. He’ll go from the Grammys to the Super Bowl as next year’s headliner.
Lamar, Charli XCX, Post Malone and Billie Eilish trail Beyoncé — with seven nominations each. Swift scored six. Take a look at some of the notable nominations below.

How many nominations will Taylor Swift score?

The singer is the first and only artist to win the Album Of The Year four times: Midnights (2024), Folklore (2021), 1989 (2016) and Fearless (2010). Swift’s latest album, The Tortured Poets Department — which was the biggest album of the year — is almost a shoo-in for the category.
So, how many nominations will the superstar earn this year? Here is where Swift appears on the ballot:
Album of the Year: The Tortured Poets Department
Record of the Year: “Fortnight” featuring Post Malone
Song of the Year: “Fortnight” featuring Post Malone
Best Pop Solo Performance: “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart”
Best Pop Duo/Group Performance: “Fortnight” featuring Post Malone
Best Pop Duo/Group Performance: “Us,” Gracie Abrams featuring Taylor Swift
Best Pop Vocal Album: The Tortured Poets Department
Best Music Video: “Fortnight” featuring Post Malone
Best Music Film: Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour(Taylor’s Version)
Which records will make the eligibility cut?
Every year, there’s buzz about which artists were snubbed for Grammy Awards nominations. Though that’s inevitable, it’s possible that some of your favorites didn’t release new music at the right time.
The eligibility period for the 2025 Grammy Awards is Sept. 16, 2023, to Aug. 30, 2024. Anything released on Aug. 31 of this year or later will be qualified for the following year’s ceremony — so you’ll have to wait.
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 of 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.
