Grammy Awards LIVE: Beyonce leads all Grammy nominees this year with 11 nods, followed by Eilish, Charli XCX, Kendrick Lamar and Post Malone with seven nominations each. Swift landed six nominations and will present one of the night's awards.
Grammy Awards LIVE: Beyoncé will compete for the top Grammy prize of album of the year with her country record "Cowboy Carter." She has never won the award — despite holding the record for most decorated artist with 32 career Grammys. The "Cowboy Carter" nomination is Beyonce's fifth entry in the album of the year category. Swift has won the honor a record four times, including last year for "Midnights."
Beyonce's husband and rapper Jay-Z had argued during the 2024 ceremony that voters had not given proper recognition to Black artists including his wife.
"I don't want to embarrass this young lady, but she has more Grammys than anyone and never won album of the year. So even by your own metrics, that doesn't work," Jay-Z said on stage.
"Cowboy Carter" was viewed by experts and fans as a reclamation and homage to an overlooked legacy of Black Americans within country music and culture. It became the first album by a Black woman to land at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart when it was released last spring. It was however snubbed by voters for the Country Music Awards nominations in September.
