Grammy Award 2025 Nominee List Is Out

The Recording Academy revealed the nominees for the 67th Grammy Awards, set to take place on February 2 and broadcast on CBS. Beyoncé leads with 11 nominations, including Record and Album of the Year for her album Cowboy Carter. Despite her recent shutout at the Country Music Association Awards, Beyoncé's recognition at the Grammys showcases her work's genre-blending appeal, which crosses boundaries from country to pop and beyond.

Women Dominate Major Categories

The nominations reflect a year of strong performances by female artists. Charli XCX, Post Malone, Billie Eilish, and Kendrick Lamar each secured seven nominations, while Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, and Taylor Swift garnered six. The eligibility period spanned from September 16, 2023, to August 30, 2024.

67th Grammy Awards

Beyoncé's Grammy Record and Ongoing Pursuit

Although Beyoncé holds the record for the most Grammy wins by any artist, she has yet to secure the coveted Album of the Year award. At the 2024 Grammy Awards, her husband, Jay-Z, pointed out the Academy's historical shortcomings in recognising Black artists. This year, Beyoncé will compete in the Album of the Year category against other top artists, including Charli XCX with her hit album Brat and André 3000, whose debut jazz album made waves.

Album of the Year Nominees

New Blue Sun - André 3000
Cowboy Carter - Beyoncé
Short n’ Sweet - Sabrina Carpenter
Brat - Charli XCX
Djesse Vol. 4 - Jacob Collier
