Queen Bey dominated the show at the Grammy Nominations 2025. The ‘Crazy In Love’ hitmaker left Taylor Swift behind as she bagged 11 nods for her ‘Cowboy Carter’ album and its associated singles. Beyoncé has now accumulated a remarkable 99 Grammy nominations, a record that surpasses all other artists, yet she still hasn't secured the prestigious Album of the Year award from the Recording Academy.
Despite this, she shares the spotlight following the announcement on Friday morning, as she is one of only five influential women nominated in the three main Grammy categories — Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Album of the Year. Alongside her, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, and Sabrina Carpenter also received nominations in these key categories. The winners will be revealed during the ceremony in Los Angeles on February 2.
After Beyoncé’s impressive lead with 11 nominations, the next highest spot is shared in a four-way tie among Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, Post Malone, and Charli XCX, each securing seven nominations. Following closely, Taylor Swift, Chappell Roan, and Sabrina Carpenter have each garnered six nominations.
Woman Stole The Show
Women artists captured six of the eight nominations in both the Album of the Year and Record of the Year categories. However, this isn’t a surprise, as last year saw women securing seven out of the eight nominations in these same areas. In other words, this consistent recognition of female talent has become a regular trend, not an anomaly, over the past several years.
The widespread success of these women in both music charts and broader pop culture has made predicting the Grammy nominations somewhat easier this year for many observers.
