2025 Grammy Nominations: Beyoncé Leads with Record-Breaking 11 Nods, Taylor Swift and New Artists Shine

The Grammy nominations spilled out like cards on a table, and Beyoncé was the queen of the deck. Eleven nods, everyone a hit. Album, song, record of the year—all pinned to tracks from Cowboy Carter, her dive into the country that folks had been eyeing for months. They’d say it was a new frontier, but Beyoncé just made it hers, plain and simple.

Post Malone found himself in the country mix, pulling Morgan Wallen into Grammy territory for the first time with “I Had Some Help.” Fresh faces like Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan stepped onto the scene, scoring their first nods. Billie Eilish grabbed her share, too, including album of the year. And Taylor Swift? She’s got her hand in the pot for the night’s biggest prizes.
