Grammy Award nominations 2025: See the full list

The 2025 Grammys have put their cards down, down, down, down, and it’s all coming up Beyoncé.

The “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer officially broke the record for becoming the most nominated artist in Grammy history, receiving 11 nods — including for Record, Song and Album of the Year — for her 2024 country album, Cowboy Carter. Beyoncé, who is already the most awarded artist in history with 32 Grammys, previously shared the nominations feat with her husband, Jay-Z, but she has taken the lead this year with 99 nominations in total.

The Houston native, who has faced criticism that her country albums aren’t really country, swept the Grammys’ country categories, earning nods for Best Country Solo Performance, Best Country Duo/Group Performance, Best Country Song and Best Country Album.

Queen Bey may rule this year’s nominations, but a few artists are hot on her heels: Billie Eilish; Post Malone; the inventor of Abrupt summer, Charli XCX; and Kendrick Lamar, whose viral beef with Drake spawned the summer hit “Not Like Us,” each received seven nominations. Taylor Swift and first-time nominees Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan followed close behind, earning six nods each.

This year, female artists also dominated the Best Pop Vocal Album category, with Carpenter, Roan, Eilish, Swift and Ariana Grande winning the award for their chart-smashing records. Women also made up the majority of artists nominated in the Record of the Year, Album and Song of the Year categories.

Members of the Recording Academy vote on the Grammys each year. The final round of voting is set to close on January 3rd, just under a month before music’s biggest night airs live from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 2nd.
