Beyoncé leads 2025 Grammy nominations, becomes most-nominated artist ever: See the full list of nominees

Mark Ronson, Hayley Williams, Ben Platt, Kylie Minogue, and more announced via livestream on the Grammys website and YouTube channel this morning.

The 2025 Grammys have laid their cards down, down, down, down, and it’s all coming up Beyoncé. 

The “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer officially broke the record to become most-nominated artist in Grammys history via livestream on Friday morning as she received 11 nods — including Record, Song, and Album of the Year — for her cool crooning country album, Cowboy Carter. Beyoncé, who is already the most awarded artist in history with 32 gramophones, previously shared the title with her husband Jay-Z, but has gained the upper hand this year with 99 total nominations to her name.

The Houston native, who has faced criticisms that her country album isn’t country, also notably had a clean sweep through the Grammys’ country categories, earning nods for Best Country Solo Performance, Best Country Duo/Group Performance, Best Country Song, and Best Country Album.

Swift and first-time nominees Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan also earned six nods. 

This year also saw a women artists dominate the entirety of the Best Pop Vocal Album category, with Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Eilish, Swift, and Ariana Grande up for the award for their chart-dominating records.
