Grammys 2025: Here Are the Nominees

Will Cowboy Carter emerge victorious in key country categories? Will Brat Summer and Brat Autumn parlay into total Brat domination ? Will Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s historic back-and-forth lead to new trophies for either artist?

These are among the questions front of mind for Grammys enthusiasts as we stand on the precipice of a new class of nominees being unveiled by the Recording Academy. Joining CEO Harvey Mason Jr. for the nominations livestream event on Friday morning were Billie Joe Armstrong, Brandy Clark, Kirk Franklin, David Frost, Robert Gordon, Kylie Minogue, Victoria Monét, Gaby Moreno, Deanie Parker, Ben Platt, Mark Ronson, Hayley Williams, Jim Gaffigan, and Gayle King.

Heading into the reveal, a few presumed contenders in the Album of the Year category were widely floated as being a lock, including Future and Metro Boomin’s We Don’t Trust You and Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, as well as the aforementioned Cowboy Carter and Brat blockbusters. Taylor Swift also stands to possibly add another AOTY win to her previous four.

The eligibility period for the 67th Annual Grammy Awards began on Sept. 16, 2023 and ended on Aug. 30 of this year. While first-round voting took place from Oct. 4 through Oct. 15, leading us to today’s nominees announcement, a final round will begin on Dec. 12. That lasts through Jan. 3, with the ceremony itself set for Feb. 2. A host, or hosts, for the night’s proceedings hasn’t yet been publicly named. As for the venue, that honor will again go to the unfortunately named Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
