Beyonce can’t stop herself making grammy history,
In 2023, Queen Bey took the top spot as the artist with the most Grammy wins by picking up her 32nd gramophone.
and when Nominations announced For the 2025 Grammy Awards on Friday, November 8, the 43-year-old superstar set not one but two more records.
Leading the group with 11 nods, she became the artist with the most Grammy noms ever, breaking the tie she shared with her husband, Jay-Z, with 99 points. And she became the most nominated woman in a single year, topping the previous mark of 10 set by Lauryn Hill at the 1999 awards.
But it won’t mean anything if she doesn’t ultimately win what she really wants: Album of the Year.
“Cowboy Carter” The singer is nominated for album of the year for the fifth time, following 2008’s “I Am…Sasha Fierce,” 2013’s “Beyoncé,” 2016’s “Lemonade” and 2022’s “Renaissance.”
But it won’t be easy as Taylor Swift is in the mix again with her blockbuster movie “Department of Tortured Poets” After becoming the first artist to win Album of the Year four times When “Midnights” won the top prize in February.
Seriously, between Taylor and Adele, Beyonce isn’t catching any breaks in this category. (And we’re still not over her getting beat by Beck and Harry Styles here.)
There are some other major divas she’ll have to contend with, too, including previous Album of the Year winner Billie Eilish (“Hit me hard and softly”) and British sensation Charli “).
However, Ariana Grande is missing Was rejected for “Eternal Sunshine”.

Another surprise is that The Beatles – yes, The Beatles – are arriving Record of the Year for “Now and Then” The Fab Four’s first new song since 1996. But hey, if it involves Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr and maybe even a performance at the awards, it’ll be worth it.
But really, the record of the year is all about the women, with Beyoncé “Texas Hold ‘Em” Swift’s “Fortnite” (featuring Post Malone), going up against Eilish “birds of a Feather,” Carpenter’s “Espresso,” Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe!” and Charli XCX’s “360.”
All but Charli XCX are also up for song of the year — with Carpenter replacing “Espresso” with “Please Please Please.”
Kendrick Lamar Breaks the Girls Club at Record and Song of the Year With His Hip-Hop Anthem “Not Like Us,” But How Did It Happen Shaboozie’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” – which recently spent its 16th week at No. 1 – was nominated for song of the year, but not record of the year?
Outside the Big Four categories – with a clean sweep of Best New Artist nominees Carpenter and Roan – Beyoncé conquered new territory with her four country nods for “Cowboy Carter”.
after phenomenal lp was completely shut out in the CMA Awards nominations, winning Best Country Album, Best Country Song (“Texas Hold ‘Em”), Best Country Duo/Group Performance (“Second Most Wanted” with Miley Cyrus) and Best Country.
