The 2025 Grammy Nominations Are Here—Beyoncé Leads the Pack With 11 Nominations
Music's biggest night is just around the corner.
2024 was quite the year for music. From Sabrina Carpenter following up her "Espresso" success with a top-charting album, Short n' Sweet, to Taylor Swift churning out another globally celebrated record, The Tortured Poets Department, and Beyoncé showing she is a true lyrical chameleon with her country album Cowboy Carter, it felt like every pop girlie had new tunes to drop. While the year has already seen our favorite music powerhouses dominating the charts for weeks and selling out tours, the biggest night in music is still to come: the 67th Grammy Awards. Like every year, the categories are stacked and the night is bound to see unforgettable performances, history-making moments, and the most glamorous red carpet looks.
Nominations rolled in this morning with Beyoncé leading the pack with 11 nominations, including Album of the Year, Song of the Year for "Texas Hold 'Em," and Country Album of the Year. Following close behind is Billie Eilish, Charli XCX, Post Malone, and Kendrick Lamar with 7 nominations each. Swift, Carpenter, and Roan each earned six nominations.
At last year's ceremony, Celine Dion made a triumphant surprise appearance at the ceremony, Dua Lipa rocked the stage on a rotating cage, and Miley Cyrus revealed she "might've forgotten underwear" while accepting her first Grammy award. Only time will tell what big events will unfold in Los Angeles's Crypto.com Arena on Sunday, February 2, 2025. While you wait in anticipation, read on for a list of this year's top nominees.
