Beyoncé, already the most awarded performer in the history of the Grammys, leads the field of artists nominated for the 67th Grammy Awards, with 11 nominations. She secured nominations in three of the night’s four general categories, including album of the year for her critically acclaimed Cowboy Carter, as well as song of the year and record of the year for “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM.”

Beyond Beyoncé, artists who have been well-loved by the Recording Academy, the body of musicians and music industry figures who votes on and presents the Grammys, also racked up nominations. Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish, who have dominated the album, record and song of the year categories in the last five years, will each compete in all three categories again.

2024 has also been a stacked year for breakout stars, and several of them, including Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, and Charli xcx, scored multiple nominations. Carpenter and Roan are the only performers nominated in all four of the “general field” categories, which also include best new artist.

With this year’s 11 nods, Beyoncé is now the most nominated artist in Grammys history, with 99 total career nominations. In addition to her nominations in album, song and record of the year — categories in which she has somewhat infamously been beaten on multiple occasions — Beyoncé picked up nominations in a wide array of genre categories, including pop, Americana, country and melodic rap. Even though the artist had previously asserted, “This ain’t a country album. This is a ‘Beyoncé’ album,” Cowboy Carter decidedly shows up in the best country album category, sandwiched between more expected albums by mainstays Kacey Musgraves, Chris Stapleton, Lainey Wilson and the rap-rocker-turned-country-convert, Post Malone.
