Grammy Nominations 2025: Beyoncé Leads with 11 Nods, Joined by Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter

Beyoncé has officially claimed the crown in the 2025 Grammy nominations, securing an impressive 11 nominations for her latest album, Cowboy Carter, marking a personal milestone for the artist. This achievement outpaces her previous record of 10 nominations in 2009.

However, Beyoncé isn’t alone in the spotlight—she’s one of five powerhouse women nominated across all three of the Grammys’ major categories: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Album of the Year. Joining her in this elite group are Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, and Sabrina Carpenter.

While Beyoncé leads with 11 nominations, a four-way tie for second place includes Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, Post Malone, and Charli XCX, each with 7 nominations. Hot on their heels are Swift, Roan, and Carpenter with 6 nominations each.

This year marks a continued dominance of female artists at the Grammys, with women filling six of the eight spots in both Album of the Year and Record of the Year.

This trend is becoming more the norm than an exception, as female artists have claimed similar positions in previous years.
