Yahoo Lifestyle The 2025 Grammy Award Nominations Have Been Announced
It’s time to press play on Grammys season.
Nominees for the 67th Grammy Awards were announced by the Recording Academy on Friday morning, leaving music fans with a lot to sound off on.
To drop the news, broadcaster Gayle King and comedian Jim Gaffigan joined forces with a long list of past Grammy winners that included Kylie Minogue, Mark Ronson, Paramore’s Hayley Williams, Green Day’s Billy Joe Armstrong and last year’s best new artist, Victoria Monét.
Honoring the work released between September 2023 through this August, this year’s slate of nominations features both Grammy veterans and a charming array of newcomers.
Beyoncé’s most recent release, Cowboy Carter, earned 11 nominations, making her the most-nominated artist in the show’s history.
The western-infused album, which the artist herself has declared a “Beyoncé album” and not a country record, will compete in both pop and country categories.
One year after taking home album of the year for her 2022 effort, Midnights, pop heavyweight Taylor Swift’s 2024 double album, The Tortured Poet’s Department, emerged with six nominations. Her “Fortnite” collaborator Post Malone snagged seven nominations of his own.
It was a breakout year for artists like Chappell Roan and Charli XCX, who secured six and seven nods, respectively.
While Roan is veritable newcomer, rocketing into the public consciousness with the release of her studio debut, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, Charli’s sixth full-length album, Brat, elevated the English singer from a long-simmering underground pop icon to an inescapable, slime-green cultural phenomenon this past summer.

With seven nominations, Billie Eilish is the now only artist to have her first three albums each nominated for album of the year.
The beef between rappers Kendrick Lamar and Drake will now have a chance to play out in the awards sphere. Lamar’s hit Drake diss, “Not Like Us,” received five nods. His rival, who released the album For All the Dogs last fall, received none.
