2025 Grammy nominations: Beyoncé leads with 11 as Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter and Charli XCX dominate major categories
Music’s biggest night isn’t until Feb. 2, but the 67th annual Grammy Awards are gearing up to be a show not to be missed. Beyoncé, who made history with her country album Cowboy Carter, leads the pack with 11 nominations. She’s the most-nominated artist in Grammys history.
Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan and Charli XCX, who all skyrocketed to fame this year, each earned first nominations for Album of the Year. They will compete for the top prize with Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish and Beyoncé. Andre 3000 and Jacob Collier round out the category, which could come as a surprise to some.
Carpenter and Roan also scored nominations for Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best New Artist. The pop stars are the only artists to earn nominations across what’s known as the “Big Four” categories.
It wasn’t only female singers who had breakout years. Country newcomer Shaboozey scored five nominations, including Best New Artist and Song of the Year for his smash hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy).”
As predicted, Kendrick Lamar’s big year continues as his Drake diss-track “Not Like Us” was nominated for Song of the Year and Record of the Year. He earned seven nominations. He’ll go from the Grammys to the Super Bowl as next year’s headliner.
Lamar, Charli XCX, Post Malone and Billie Eilish trail Beyoncé — with seven nominations each. Swift scored six.
