Beyoncé leads the 2025 Grammy nominations with 11 nods for her “Cowboy Carter” album and singles, surpassing her previous record of 10 nominations in 2009. She shares the spotlight with Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, and Sabrina Carpenter, as all five women are up for record, song, and album of the year.
Roan and Carpenter also stand out for being nominated for best new artist, making them contenders in all four major general categories. Winning all four would make them the first since Eilish in 2020.
Charli XCX, Post Malone, and Kendrick Lamar also made waves, with nominations in two of the top three categories and seven total nods each. Swift, Roan, and Carpenter follow with six nominations each.
