Beyoncé makes more history to lead 2025 Grammy noms, but she’s got plenty of diva competition (yes, Taylor Swift)

making Grammy history.In 2023, Queen Bey reigned supreme as the artist with the most Grammy wins ever when she picked up her 32nd gramophone.And when the nominations were announced for the 2025 Grammy Awards on Friday, Nov.

8, the 43-year-old superstar set not one but two more records.Leading the pack with 11 nods, she became the artist with the most Grammy noms ever, with her 99 total breaking the tie she had shared with her husband, Jay-Z.

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 that will all mean nothing if she doesn’t finally win the one that she really wants: Album of the Year.“Cowboy Carter” earned the singer her fifth Album of the Year nomination after 2008’s “I Am…Sasha Fierce,” 2013’s “Beyoncé,” 2016’s “Lemonade” and 2022’s “Renaissance.” But it won’t be easy because Taylor Swift is in the mix — again — with her blockbuster “The Tortured Poets Department” after just becoming the first artist to win Album of the Year four times when “Midnights” took home the top prize in February.Seriously, between Taylor and Adele, Beyoncé can’t seem to catch a break in this category. (And we’re still not over Beck and Harry Styles beating her here, either.)There are some other major divas that she’ll have to contend with too, including previous Album of the Year winner Billie Eilish (“Hit Me Hard and Soft”) and British sensation Charli xcx (“Brat”) — who follow Bey with seven nominations apiece — as well as rising stars Sabrina Carpenter (“Short n’ Sweet”) and Chappell Roan (“The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess”).Missing, though, is Ariana Grande, who was snubbed for “Eternal Sunshine.” In a head-scratching surprise, the last two.
