FULL LIST: The 2025 Grammy Awards Nominees Are Out Featuring Wizkid & Davido

Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar Lead 2025 Grammy Nominees.

The performers that will compete for the top awards next year include Kendrick Lamar, Taylor Swift, and Beyoncé, according to the 2025 Grammy nominees.

Thanks to Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé led all nominees this year with eleven, securing appearances in four genre categories: Americana, Pop, Rap, and Country, in addition to the three main categories of Song, Record, and Album of the Year. Beyoncé had shared the record of 88 Grammy nominations with her husband, Jay-Z, but her 11 nominations also made her the most nominated artist in Grammy history with 99.

Whether Beyoncé, who is now the most awarded and nominated artist in the history of the Grammy Awards, can finally win her first major category prize since 2010 (when “Single Ladies” won Song of the Year) is already the main topic surrounding the 2025 Grammys. However, the competition is fierce. Naturally, Swift has won the most awards for Album of the Year (four), and both Eilish and André 3000 have won in the same category before (André as part of Outkast).
