2025 Grammy Awards winners list: Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, Taylor Swift face off National |
Music's biggest night is here, hosted by Trevor Noah live from Los Angeles.
The 2025 Grammy Awards are here and it’s not just about all the glitz and glam. Many Grammy nominees are set to break records this year, like Beyoncé, who has become the most nominated artist in the award shows’ history with a total of 99 nominations.
Not only is the Texas Hold ’Em singer the most nominated artist this year, with a total of 11 nods, but she also has the most Grammy Awards of all time, with a total of 32 wins. Beyoncé is nominated for Album of the Year, which is a category she’s never won. Her album, Cowboy Carter, is up against some major artists including Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Charli XCX, Chappell Roan, André 3000 and Jacob Collier.
If Beyoncé wins the album of the year, she’ll become the first Black woman to do so in the 21st century. Lauryn Hill last won in 1999 for The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, joining Natalie Cole and Whitney Houston as the only Black women to take home the Grammys’ top prize.
Swift is also breaking records this year after becoming the first woman to earn seven career nominations in the Album of the Year category. Last year, she won album of the year for Midnights, breaking the record for most wins in the category with four.
Post Malone also received his first-ever nominations in the country categories this year, having released his debut country album F-1 Trillion in August. That one is up for country album and I Had Some Help, his collaboration with Morgan Wallen, is nominated for country song and country duo/group performance. Before this year, Wallen had never received a Grammy nomination.
Malone is just behind Beyoncé, with seven nominations, tied with Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar and Charli XCX, who earned her first nominations as a solo artist.
Lamar’s diss track released during his feud with Drake, Not Like Us, won Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance and Best Music Video so far tonight. It’s also nominated for record and song of the year. He has two simultaneous entries in the latter category, a career first: Future & Metro Boomin featuring Lamar, Like That is up for best rap performance and best rap song.
(Find below a complete list of all the nominees in the major categories. Final winners will be bolded as the ceremony goes on.)
