For the 2025 Grammy nominations Beyoncé has not only made history but also showcased her versatility by leading with 11 nods. This record-breaking achievement brings her career Grammy nominations to a staggering 99, making her the most-nominated artist in Grammy history.
“Cowboy Carter,” Beyoncé’s foray into country music, is up for both Album of the Year and Country Album of the Year. Meanwhile, “Texas Hold ’Em” has earned nominations for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Country Song of the Year. Her influence spans multiple genres this year, with nominations in categories from pop to Americana, and even melodic rap, marking her first Grammy recognition in the country and Americana genres.
If she wins Album of the Year, Beyoncé would become the first Black woman to take home this prestigious award in the 21st century. The last to do so was Lauryn Hill in 1999 with The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, a win that placed Hill among the only Black women—alongside Natalie Cole and Whitney Houston—to receive the Grammys’ top honor.
Beyoncé’s impressive 2025 nominations could mark another historic milestone in her already groundbreaking career.
