The Recording Academy announced the list of nominees on Friday, Nov. 8, giving Carter a nomination in the Best Audio Book, Narration and Storytelling Recording category for his spoken-word album Last Sundays in the Plains: A Centennial Celebration. 

Also nominated in that category is Barbra Streisand (My Name Is Barbra), Dolly Parton (Behind the Seams: My Life in Rhinestones), George Clinton (...And Your Ass Will Follow) and Guy Oldfield (producer) and various artists for All You Need Is Love: The Beatles In Their Own Words.

Carter has already won 3 Grammys in the same category, once in 2007 for Our Endangered Values: America's Moral Crisis, in 2016 for A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety and again in 2019 for Faith: A Journey For All. 

And his newest Grammy nomination isn't the only record that the former commander-in-chief has broken lately, as he also recently became the first American president to reach age 100.

Carter, who served as the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981, has survived a number of severe illnesses, including battles with brain cancer and liver cancer.

In February 2023, it was announced that he went into hospice care, but nearly two years later, Carter is still here and still breaking records. He even got to vote in the 2024 election, casting his ballot in favor of Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.
