Grammy nominations 2025: See the complete list of nominees

Let the gramophone derby begin.

The nominations for the 67th annual Grammy Awards — music’s biggest honor, bestowed by the Recording Academy — were announced on Friday morning

And, as expected, Grammy darlings Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish continued their pop-diva domination.

Beyoncé — the all-time Grammy winner with 32 gramophones — leads with 11 nominations, while Swift and Eilish picked up 6 and 7 nods, respectively.

The three perennial contenders are all up for Album of the Year: Beyoncé for “Cowboy Carter,” Swift for “The Tortured Poets Department” and Eilish for “Hit Me Hard and Soft.”

And the much-lauded ladies will also face off for Record and Song of the Year, with Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ’Em,” Swift’s “Fortnight” and Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather.”

Last February, Swift became the first artist to win Album of the Year four times for “Midnights,” while Eilish won her second Song of the Year trophy for her “Barbie” ballad “What Was I Made For?”  And they both lost to Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” for Record of the Year.

Meanwhile, two of 2024’s rising divas — Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan — received 6 nominations each and will battle it out for Best New Artist. 

Among those announcing the nominees in the livestream event on Grammy.com were 2024 Best New Artist winner Victoria Monét, Kylie Minogue, Ben Platt, Brandy Clark and Paramore’s Hayley Williams. 

Here is a complete list of nominees for the 2025 Grammy Awards, which will take place on Feb. 2 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. 

Behold, here is the complete 2025 Grammy nominations list.
