First of all, we’d like to thank Beyoncé. Queen Bey just claimed another crown, leading the 2025 Grammy nominations with a record-breaking 11 nods for her album Cowboy Carter and its chart-topping singles, surpassing her previous high of 10 nominations in 2009. But she’s not alone in the spotlight. Five powerhouse women dominate this year’s top Grammy categories: Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, and Sabrina Carpenter are each nominated for Record, Song, and Album of the Year.
Swift also made Grammy history with her seventh Album of the Year nod for The Tortured Poets Department, breaking her tie with Barbra Streisand and marking a milestone for female artists. Newcomers Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter are red-hot contenders, earning nominations in all four general categories, including Best New Artist. If either wins Record, Song, and Album of the Year plus Best New Artist, they’d match Billie Eilish’s 2020 achievement.
Following Beyoncé’s lead, Eilish, Lamar, Malone, and Charli XCX share second place with seven nominations apiece, while Swift, Roan, and Carpenter come in close with six each.
This year continues the trend of female dominance, with women making up six of the eight nominees in both Album and Record of the Year. Let’s take a look at the complete 2025 Grammy nominees.
