Follow live as artists are announced

From Sabrina Carpenter to Chappell Roan, the artists behind some of this year’s biggest hits are poised for industry recognition when the Recording Academy announces their nominations for the 67th Annual Grammy Awards on Friday.

Carpenter and Roan are favored for nominations in the Best New Artist category. Each of these have made major breakthroughs this year, attracting huge festival attendees and climbing various Billboard charts.

Two of the industry’s most prolific artists – Taylor Swift and Beyoncé – are expected to snag nominations again this year. Swift, who broke the record for most album of the year wins, released her 11th studio album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” in April and wraps up her massive Eras tour in December.

Beyoncé is likely to extend her record as the most nominated artist of all time. She could also be nominated in the Best Country Album category after being shut out of the Country Music Awards this year. Post Malone, who released his first country album this year, also found recognition in the country categories.

Fans also expect nominations in the Album of the Year and Pop Genre categories for Charli XCX, whose album Brat inspired some of the year’s biggest trends.

In the rap genre, Kendrick Lamar could get a nod for his dissident hit against Drake, “Not Like Us,” which was one of the top songs of the summer.

In mid-October, members of the Recording Academy completed first-round voting to determine the nominees. This year, the academy said in a press release that it had made several important updates to its awards process, including adjusting eligibility criteria and renaming categories.

The show will also feature the inaugural Harry Belafonte Best Song for Social Change Award, which was recently renamed and recategorized to honor Belafonte, the late calypso star and civil rights activist.

The Grammy Awards air February 2 on CBS. Here’s a list of the categories expected to be announced Friday at 10:45 a.m. ET.
