The 2025 Grammy Awards nominations have been announced! And it is another historic moment for Beyoncé! How?
Well, She leads this year’s list with 11 nominations, setting a new one year record for a female artist. This milestone surpasses the previous record of 10 nods held by both Lauryn Hill (1999) and Beyoncé herself (2010).
With these new nominations, Beyoncé’s career Grammy nods now total 99, extending her record for the most Grammy nominations of all time. Previously, she was tied with JayZ at 88 nominations each.
Beyoncé’s album Cowboy Carter is up for Album of the Year, making her the Black artist with the most nominations in that category, surpassing Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar. Beyoncé’s single “Texas Hold ‘Em” is nominated for Record of the Year, bringing her total nominations in this category to nine, extending her record in the category.
