Beyoncé just earned herself another sash. As numbers go, she is easily the queen of the 2025 Grammy nominations, leading the nods with 11 for her “Cowboy Carter” album and its attendant singles bringing her career total to 99 nominations.
This makes her the most nominated artist in Grammy history as well as a personal high for her, besting the 10 nods she got back in 2009.
This is her first time receiving nominations in the country and Americana categories. Previously, she and her husband Jay-Z were tied for most career nominations, at 88.
The nominees for the 2025 Grammy Awards were announced on Friday morning.
Beyoncé is one of five powerhouse women who are nominated in all three of the Grammys‘ top general categories this year — record, song and album of the year. Joining her in being nominated for all three of those major prizes are Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, and Sabrina Carpenter.
Roan and Carpenter also have the distinction of each being nominated for Best New Artist, meaning they are up in all four general categories open to recording artists across genres.
Whether Carpenter or Roan turned out to be red-hot enough to win best new artist plus the trio of record, song and album of the year, they’d be the first to accomplish that since Eilish did it in 2020.
Three other artists picked up nominations in two of the three top categories and accrued major nomination tallies: Charli XCX, Post Malone, and Kendrick Lamar.
Following Beyoncé’s leading 11 nods, it’s Eilish, Lamar, Malone, and Charli XCX who have a four-way tie for the second-largest number of nominations this year, with seven noms each. Close behind with six nominations apiece are Swift, Roan, and Carpenter.
Winners will be revealed at the event in Los Angeles on Feb. 2. A full list of nominations in all 94 categories can be found here.
The 2025 Grammy Awards will air February 2 live on CBS and Paramount+ from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
