Grammy nominations 2024: Female Artists Shine in the Spotlight at the 66th Grammy Awards

Get ready for a seismic shift at the upcoming 66th Grammy Awards as female artists prepare to dominate the stage, with leading Grammy nominations 2024 bestowed upon powerhouse talents such as SZA, Phoebe Bridgers, Victoria Monét, and the ever-iconic Taylor Swift. The Grammy Awards are scheduled for February 4th in Los Angeles.

1. SZA’s Reign: With an impressive nine nominations, SZA emerges as a frontrunner, showcasing her versatile talent across pop, rap, and R&B categories. Her album, “SOS,” stands as a testament to her musical prowess. Having secured one Grammy from 14 previous nominations, SZA competes fiercely in the record of the year category against a stellar lineup that includes Billie Eilish, boygenius, Jon Batiste, Miley Cyrus, Olivia Rodrigo, Taylor Swift, and Victoria Monét.
2. Diverse Talent: Victoria Monét, Phoebe Bridgers, and the skilled mixing engineer Serban Ghenea closely follow with seven nominations each. Monét’s inclusion in the best new artist category adds to the diversity, featuring alongside emerging talents like Ice Spice and Jelly Roll.
3. Swift’s Historic Potential: Taylor Swift, with six nominations in Grammy nominations 2024, could make history by securing album of the year, a feat that would mark her as the first artist to achieve this four times. The formidable Olivia Rodrigo, a three-time Grammy winner, garners six nominations for her compelling album “GUTS” and the haunting track “Vampire.”
4. Barbie Album’s Impact: The Barbie album makes a resounding impact with an impressive 12 nominations in Grammy nominations 2024, featuring standout contributions from Eilish, Nicki Minaj, and Dua Lipa. Notably, four out of the five nominees for best song from visual media stem from this exceptional soundtrack.
5. Beyond Music: Grammy nominations extend beyond the musical realm, recognizing figures like Meryl Streep, Michelle Obama, Bernie Sanders, and Dave Chappelle in categories such as audiobook, storytelling, or comedy awards.
6. New Categories: This year introduces three new categories—best African music performance, best alternative jazz album, and best pop dance recording. Icons like Kylie Minogue and Troye Sivan grace the latter category’s nominees list.
7. Notable Snubs: Despite a stellar year, country singer Morgan Wallen sees only one nomination for “Last Night” in the best country song category, despite its 16-week chart-topping success in the U.S.
8. Historical Milestones: Beyoncé, having already made history earlier this year, reigns as the most awarded artist in Grammys history with an impressive 32 wins. Meanwhile, Harry Styles took home the album of the year for “Harry’s House” at the 65th ceremony.
