2025 Grammy nominations: The complete list

Beyoncé received 11 Grammy nominations Friday, breaking a tie to become the most nominated artist in Grammys history as the Recording Academy set the stage for next year's award show.

The discourse — and controversy — surrounding her exploration of American identity, politics and roots music on Cowboy Carter has, in the Academy’s eyes, paid off; Beyoncé — who now has received 99 career nominations — leads the nominees for the 67th annual Grammy Awards, with nods across a multitude of genres, including best solo pop performance, best melodic rap performance, best Americana performance and best country performance in both the solo and group categories.

Cowboy Carter and its single “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM” also earned recognition in main categories, including album of the year — a category Bey has infamously never won in the past — song of the year and record of the year.

Her competition in the latter reflects a heavy-hitting summer in pop music and includes Charli xcx (“360”), Billie Eilish (“BIRDS OF A FEATHER”), Kendrick Lamar (“Not Like Us”), Taylor Swift ft. Post Malone (“Fortnight”), Sabrina Carpenter (“Espresso”), Chappell Roan (“Good Luck, Babe!”) and, surprisingly, The Beatles (“Now and Then”).

Charli, Billie, Kendrick and Post trail behind Beyoncé with seven nominations each, while Swift, Roan and Carpenter racked up six nods. Notably, Carpenter and Roan are recognized in all four main categories — song of the year, record of the year, album of the year and best new artist — following a critical and commercial victory lap for both this year, bolstered by appearances at Coachella and opening gigs on international tours for Taylor Swift (Carpenter) and Olivia Rodrigo (Roan).

Other nominees for best new artist include psych-groove trio Khruangbin, rapper Doechii, pop-rock singer Benson Boone and country-rap star Shaboozey, who celebrated a 15-week run at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 with “A Bar Song (Tipsy).”
