Here's your list of 2025 Grammy nominees

Despite it all, the Grammys are still coming. The nominations were announced this morning, bringing with them the expected nods for Grammy darlings Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and Billie Eilish. Might this finally be the year Beyoncé wins album of the year? We know better than to make a prediction about such an event at this point—we’ll check back in on that in February. But today, she leads the crowd with 11 nominations for Cowboy Carter. 

But 2024 was also a big year for new talent, not just in pop music but across country, hip-hop, and rock, and fortunately that talent is somewhat reflected here. Charli xcx picked up quite a few nominations for her zeitgeist-dining Brat, while Shaboozey, Benson Boone, and Teddy Swims all got nods in the Best New Artist category. André 3000’s pivot to jazz also paid off, with his album New Blue Sun snagging a nomination for Album Of The Year. 

Of course, there are plenty of other categories to cover, too. You can check out the highlighted list of nominees below.
