This year is witnessing again the rise of female artists at the Grammy Awards with nominations like Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, Chappell Roan, and so on.
The nomination list of the 67th Grammy Awards is out with the Queen Beyoncé leading the race with 11 nominations. The queen of music has gained more than 99 nominations throughout her music career and has become the most nominated artist of the year, other iconic artists like The Beatles, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, Charli XCX, Kendrick Lamar, Sabrina Carpenter, and Taylor Swift are competing against her for Record of the Year. The official Grammys YouTube hosted a livestream on November 8 for the announcement, with the winners set to be announced at the 68th Grammy Awards ceremony on February 2, 2025.
Women are in pop-dominated charts, several new artists had huge breakout albums and songs, and there was the first major rap beef in quite some time. All of that and more is reflected in the nominations for the 2025 Grammy Awards that were announced Friday. Of course, there were some snubs and surprises as well this is the Grammys, after all. Beyoncé’s album Cowboy Carter was nominated in all three top categories (Album, Record, and Song of the Year) and picked up other nods in pop, rap, country, and Americana categories.
‘Cowboy Carter’ is everything the Grammys tend to prize—a meticulously curated reflection of music history, with nods to country, Americana, and roots music. It features real instruments and tributes to legendary artists like Willie Nelson, The Beatles, and Dolly Parton. ‘Cowboy Carter’ had grander ambitions than simply appealing to Grammy voters.
Best New Artist is a competition between Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter. As always, the qualifications for this category are deeply silly; Carpenter put out her debut album in 2015. (For the record, so did Khruangbin.) But the spirit of the award is to recognize an artist who had a breakthrough in the past year, and both Roan and Carpenter blew up this year. This should be one of the most hotly contested categories, and it could certainly come down to which artist campaigns harder in the coming months.
Academy certainly paid attention to Charli XCX’s Brat, her dance-pop and electronic album with an underground spirit that captured (some of) the mainstream with its lime green branding and memeability. Two of Charli’s seven total nominations are in the major categories of Album and Record of the Year, where she submitted ‘360.’ She’s probably a longshot to win those awards, but she’s almost a lock to win in the Dance/Electronic Album category, which she notably entered instead of Best Pop Vocal Album.
