Beyoncé leads the 2025 Grammy nominations with a record-breaking 11 nods, making her the most-nominated artist in Grammy history. Her new album, Cowboy Carter, a country-inspired project, received nominations for Album of the Year and Song of the Year for “Texas Hold ‘Em.” Other top nominees include Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, Charli XCX, and Post Malone, each with seven nominations. Taylor Swift follows with six nods for her breakup album, The Tortured Poets Department, along with emerging artists Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan.
Beyoncé now has 99 Grammy nominations and 32 wins, though she’s still waiting to win Album of the Year. Her shift to country music in Cowboy Carter is a nod to Black American country roots, which she believes deserve more recognition. Will 2025 finally bring Beyoncé her Album of the Year win?
