    Award season is officially in sight, with the 67th Annual Grammy Awards being one of the first in the 2025 calendar.

    This weekend, the Grammy nominations were officially announced, and they quite literally broke records.

    Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, Post Malone and Charli XCX fared well, earning seven nominations each. And following behind with six nominations were Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan.

    However, it was Beyoncé who made history, receiving a whopping 11 nominations for her eighth studio album, Cowboy Carter. And taking her to 99 nominations over the span of her career, she has now become the most-nominated artist in Grammy history.

    The record was previously held by husband Jay-Z, who has 88 Grammy nominations under his belt.
