Full list of nominees. Live update

Beyoncé just earned another sash. In terms of numbers, she is by far the queen of the rodeo, i.e. the 2025 Grammy nominations, with 11 nominations for her album “Cowboy Carter” and its singles. This is a personal highlight for her and surpasses the ten awards she received in 2009.

But Beyoncé has to share the headlines of Friday morning’s announcement. Because she is only one of five power women who are nominated this year in all three top categories – record, song and album of the year. In addition to her, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter are also nominated for all three of these main awards.

The red-hot Roan and Carpenter also have the honor of being nominated for Best New Artist each, meaning they’re ahead in all four general categories open to recording artists of all genres. If either Carpenter or Roan were red-hot enough to win best new artist and the triad of record, song and album of the year, they would be the first to do so since newcomer Christopher Cross in 1981.

Three other artists received nominations in two of the top three categories and racked up big nomination numbers: Charli XCX, Post Malone and Kendrick Lamar.

After Beyoncé’s 11 nominations, Eilish, Lamar, Malone and Charli XCX have the second largest number of nominations this year with seven nominations each. Swift, Roan and Carpenter follow closely behind with six nominations each.

Is this “the year of the woman”? You have to say yes, because six of the eight nominations for Album of the Year and Record of the Year went to female artists. But last year really was the year of the woman: seven out of eight places were awarded in these categories. In other words, this “reinforcement” has been the norm, not the exception, for several years in a row.

When Recording Academy voters deigned to recognize men in the top categories, they did so with some of the more startling inclusions. Andre 3000’s Album of the Year nomination for his instrumental free-range flute album “New Blue Sun” is sure to trigger a flood of WTF comments; While the collection certainly had its defenders, there wasn’t a prognosticator in the world who even considered this a dark horse. The Beatles’ stitched-together track “Now and Then,” nominated for Record of the Year, had at least come up in conversation as a way to fill the surprise veteran slot ABBA took two years ago.

Benson Boone, Teddy Swims and Shaboozey were the music industry’s three breakthrough men of the year, but the first two received a single nomination, for best new artist. Shaboozey also received that nomination, along with three others for his record-breaking “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” and one for a feature in “Cowboy Carter.”

Will Beyoncé finally win either album or record of the year at the Feb. 1 ceremony, two awards that have eluded her despite winning a record number of Grammys? The rooting interest is unmatched. But each of the women who competed against her in the top categories had undeniable zeitgeist moments this year. And in the “Record of the Year” category she meets Kendrick Lamar. His single “Not Like Us” has been so ubiquitous even in sports and electoral politics this year that it forces Grammy viewers to consider a possibility as unthinkable at the Grammys of late as it is unavoidable in the outside world is: a man who gets his way.
