The 2025 Grammy Award nominations had been introduced at this time, and Beyoncé, Chappell Roan, and Kendrick Lamar can depend themselves among the many nominees for Music of the Yr. Rounding out the class are Billie Eilish, Sabrina Carpenter, Shaboozey, Taylor Swift, and Woman Gaga and Bruno Mars. See all the 2025 Grammy nominations here.
Beyoncé is up for the Cowboy Carter single “Texas Hold ’Em.” It’s her fifth time being nominated for Music of the Yr, however she’s received the class solely as soon as, in 2010, for “Single Women (Put a Ring on It).”
Roan is nominated for “Good Luck, Babe!,” her first new music since 2023’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, and Kendrick Lamar for the world-conquering Drake diss “Not Like Us.” Mars and Gaga’s duet “Die With a Smile” is the most recent of the pack, having been launched simply two weeks previous to the August 30 eligibility cutoff.
Each Eilish and Swift—nominated for “Birds of a Feather” and the Put up Malone–that includes “Fortnight,” respectively—had been nominated for Music of the Yr at the 2024 Grammy Awards, too, with this being Swift’s third consecutive yr within the class. Eilish took home the award final yr, for “What Was I Made For?,” her contribution to the Barbie soundtrack.
Every a first-time nominee within the class, Sabrina Carpenter is nominated for “Please Please Please,” and Shaboozey for “A Bar Music (Tipsy),” each Billboard No. 1 hits.
