Beyoncé has once again cemented her place in music history, leading the pack with 11 nominations for the 2025 Grammy Awards. This incredible achievement makes her the most nominated artist in Grammy history—with a total of 99 career nominations.
When Beyoncé won Best Dance/Electronic Album at the Grammy Awards last year with “Renaissance,” she became the most successful artist in the show’s nearly seven-decade history.
Now, she is the most nominated act in history. Beyoncé also received nominations in the country and American roots categories for the first time.
According to the Recording Academy, Beyoncé has 11 nominations for the 67th Grammys, including top categories such as Album of the Year (for her sprawling roots-music excursion “Cowboy Carter”) and Record and Song of the Year (for her chart-topping “Texas Hold’ Em”). Overall, seven songs from “Cowboy Carter” have received nominations in four different genres.
“Today, we celebrate the amazing creative achievements of our music community,” said Harvey Mason Jr., CEO of the Recording Academy. “It was an incredible year in music, and these nominations reflect the work of a voting body that is more representative of the music community than ever before. The GRAMMY® became music’s most coveted award precisely because the recognition comes from one’s peers, and I’m so grateful for the Academy’s 13,000 voting members who take the time to evaluate all the amazing music, cast their votes, and honor their peers. Congratulations to all the nominees.”
Beyoncé’s nominations include Best Country Album, Best Country Duo/Group Performance for “II Most Wanted” featuring Miley Cyrus, Best Country Song for “Texas Hold’ Em,” Best Country Solo Performance for “16 Carriages,” and Best Americana Performance for “Ya Ya.”
The 11 new nominations bring her career total to 99, leaving Beyoncé’s husband, rapper Jay-Z, who was tied at 88, with the second-most nominations.
If Beyoncé wins Album of the Year, she will be the first Black woman to do so in the 21st century. Lauryn Hill last won the Grammy in 1999 for ‘The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,’ joining Natalie Cole and Whitney Houston as the only Black women to win the award.
