The 2025 GRAMMY season is in full swing as nominations were unveiled last Nov. 8 leading up to Music’s Biggest Night!
The 67th Grammy Awards will take place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Feb. 2, 2025, honoring artists in 94 categories as voted by the Recording Academy, the organization behind the long-standing awards show, composed of music creators including artists, producers, songwriters, and sound engineers. The show will broadcast live on the CBS Television Network and stream live and on-demand on Paramount+.
The most notable of the nominees is 32-time Grammy award winner Beyoncé who just made history as the most-nominated artist in the show’s history (totaling 99 nominations!) — breaking out of a tie with her husband, Jay-Z.
The former Destiny’s Child member turned soloist proves that she’s simply “Irreplaceable” in the music industry as she picks up 11 new nominations, the most out of any artist participating in the 2025 ceremony. She clinched nominations in all the major awards including Album of the Year for “Cowboy Carter,” as well as Song of the Year and Record of the Year for “Texas Hold ‘Em.”
Following in suit are Charlie XCX, Kendrick Lamar, Post Malone, and nine-time Grammy winner Billie Eilish with 7 nominations each, while rising pop stars Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, and 14-time Grammy Award-winner Taylor Swift each receive 6 nods.
The “Cruel Summer” singer also breaks history for becoming the female artist with the most Album of the Year nominations — totaling seven nominations, and also holds the record for the most wins in the category with four: “Midnights” (2024), “Folklore” (2021), “1989” (2016), and “Fearless” (2010).
Meanwhile, Billie Eilish boasts a slew of awards including last year’s Song of the Year “What Was I Made For” which was the theme song for the live-action “Barbie” film starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. The song also won Best Original Song at the 2024 Academy Awards. 100% of her full-length studio albums have been nominated in the Album of the Year category.
