Today, Friday, Nov. 8, the highly anticipated list of nominees for the 67th GRAMMY Awards were announced during a special livestream event. During the presentation, viewers learned that several country hitmakers earned nods across multiple categorizes.
In the country categories specifically, Beyoncé leads with four nominations, followed by Post Malone with three. Several other country artists earned recognition ahead of this year’s coveted event, including Chris Stapleton, Jelly Roll, Kacey Musgraves, Morgan Wallen, Lainey Wilson, Brothers Osborne, Kelsea Ballerini and Dan + Shay.
Along with being nominated within the four country music categories, a few of these Music City acts like Combs, Musgraves and Malone were among those named in other all-genre categories as well.
Plus, Shaboozey’s breakout year just got even better as he is going into the 2025 GRAMMY Awards as a first-time nominee with six nods under his belt. He is vying for a win in the categories of Best New Artist, Song of the Year for “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” Best Country Solo Performance for “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” Best Country Song for “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” Best Melodic Rap Performance for Beyonce’s “SPAGHETTII” (also featuring Linda Martell), and Best Remixed Recording for “A Bar Song (Tipsy) [Remix]” with David Guetta.
Morgan Wallen also racked up his first set of nominations for best country duo/group performance and best country song for his featured role on Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help,” which he also co-wrote.
Beyoncé secured 11 new nods overall, making her the most nominated artist for the 2025 GRAMMY Awards. Following close behind her are Charli XCX, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar and Post Malone with seven nods each and Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan and Taylor Swift with six each.
Queen Bey made history this year with her nominations. On top of being the second black artist to be nominated in the Country Album category (the first being Mickey Guyton in 2022), she has now earned 99 total GRAMMY nominations throughout her career, making her the most-nominated artist in the show’s history. Her latest string of recognition spans multiple GRAMMY fields, as a result of her genre-bending 2024 album Cowboy Carter, which earns three general nods (album of the year, plus record and song of the year for lead single “Texas Hold ‘Em”) as well as four nominations in country categories, two in pop, one in rap, and one in Americana.
This year’s eligibility period includes recordings released between Sept. 16, 2023 – Aug. 30, 2024. The final round of GRAMMY voting will take place Dec. 12, 2024 – Jan. 3, 2025.
