Beyoncé has officially surpassed her husband, Jay-Z, in all-time Grammy nominations, now holding the record with 11 new nods for the upcoming 2025 awards.
At 43, she continues to break boundaries, earning a spot in the prestigious Album of the Year category for her recent country-inspired project, Cowboy Carter.
Her nomination list also includes Record of the Year and Song of the Year for the single “Texas Hold ‘Em.” Despite being the artist with the most Grammy wins—32 trophies to date—Beyoncé has yet to secure the Album of the Year award, a milestone she now aims to reach.
This year, several other major artists trail Beyoncé’s nomination count, with Billie Eilish, Charli XCX, Kendrick Lamar, and Post Malone each securing seven nominations. Taylor Swift also features prominently with six nods, along with rising stars Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter.
Female artists dominate the Album of the Year category, traditionally the Grammys’ highest honor. Swift, already a four-time winner in this category, is competing with her recent breakup-inspired record, The Tortured Poets Department. Her and Beyoncé’s albums will face off alongside Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet, Charli XCX’s Brat, Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft, and Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.
The two male nominees in the Album of the Year category are rapper Andre 3000, recognized for New Blue Sun, and jazz musician Jacob Collier, whose Djesse Vol. 4 has garnered critical acclaim.
Winners will be selected by the Recording Academy’s 13,000 voting members, including singers, songwriters, producers, and engineers. The awards ceremony is set for February 2, where Beyoncé will look to make history once again.
