New Delhi:
Beyonce is dominating the 2025 Grammy nominations with a career-high 11 nods for her Cowboy Carter album and its singles, surpassing her previous best of 10 nominations in 2009. However, she’s not the only powerhouse woman making waves this year. Alongside Beyonce, four other female artists- Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter -are all nominated in the top three general categories: Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Album of the Year.
Both Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter are also nominated for Best New Artist, making them contenders in all four of the Grammy’s major categories. Should either win Best New Artist along with Record, Song, and Album of the Year, they would make history as the first artists to achieve that feat since Billie Eilish in 2020.
In addition to Beyonce’s impressive 11 nominations, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, Post Malone and Charli XCX follow closely behind with seven nominations each. Taylor, Chappell and Sabrina each earned six nominations.
