Beyoncé shatters records with 11 Grammy nominations: Will she make history in 2025?

Mark your calendars for February 2, 2025, because it’s about to get legendary. The 67th Annual Grammy Awards are setting the stage for a historic night, and no one is shining brighter than Beyoncé Knowles.

With an awe-inspiring 11 nominations, Beyoncé is not only the most-nominated artist of the 2025 ceremony but also the most-nominated artist of all time, with a career total of 99 nominations. Yes, you read that right 99.

And as if that weren’t enough, Bey is already the most-awarded artist in Grammy history, with a staggering 32 wins under her belt.

But here’s where it gets extra juicy: Beyoncé’s groundbreaking album Cowboy Carter is at the center of this Grammy storm, picking up nods for Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year—including her hit single Texas Hold ‘Em.

This isn’t just any album. It’s Cowboy Carter, a bold fusion of country, Americana, and Bey’s signature sound, earning her her first-ever nominations in the Country and Americana categories.

With Cowboy Carter dominating across multiple genres, Beyoncé is ready to take home what’s eluded her for years: Album of the Year.

And if she wins? She will become the first Black woman in the 21st century to win this coveted honor—a historic moment that would join the ranks of Lauryn Hill’s 1999 win for The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.

But wait, it doesn’t stop there. This Grammy season, Beyoncé isn’t just a nominee—she’s a force. Her total of 11 nominations surpasses even her legendary husband, Jay-Z, who has 88 nominations to his name.

This marks a monumental milestone for the Carters, with Beyoncé now leading the Grammy race for the first time ever.

“Cowboy Carter” is More Than Just an Album—It’s a Record-Breaking Phenomenon

Cowboy Carter isn’t just vying for Album of the Year; it has also earned nods in the Country Album of the Year and Best Country Song categories.

Her hit single, Texas Hold ‘Em, is in the running for both Record of the Year and Song of the Year, while Beyoncé’s presence is felt across a variety of genres, including Pop, Americana, and even Melodic Rap Performance. She’s leaving her mark everywhere this year.

And that’s not all. While Beyoncé is basking in the glow of these 11 nominations, Cowboy Carter has made history as the most-nominated album of all time, surpassing the record for most nominations ever in the Grammy’s 67-year history.

Fans and critics alike are already calling it a masterpiece—a testament to the often-overlooked legacy of Black artists in country music, a genre Bey has now fully conquered.

The Road to History: Can Beyoncé Finally Win Album of the Year?

Despite her 32 Grammy wins, Beyoncé has never clinched Album of the Year—the only major category that’s eluded her. A win this year would be nothing short of groundbreaking.

Not only would it solidify Cowboy Carter as a cultural milestone, but it would also cement Beyoncé’s place in Grammy history as the first Black woman to win this highly sought-after prize in over two decades.

If she pulls it off, she’ll be joining an elite group of women, including Lauryn Hill, Natalie Cole, and Whitney Houston, who have won the top Grammy honor.

A Battle of the Titans: Beyoncé Faces Off with Taylor, Billie, and More

In the Album of the Year category, Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter is up against some heavy competition. Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department, Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet, and Charli XCX’s Brat are all in the running, alongside Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft and Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.

But that’s not all. Two male artists, André 3000 (for New Blue Sun) and Jacob Collier (for Djesse Vol. 4), are also in the mix, making this one of the most eclectic and star-studded Album of the Year races in recent memory.

While Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter is arguably the frontrunner, there’s no shortage of talent in this category. And yet, there’s something undeniably special about the way Beyoncé has redefined the boundaries of genre this year, breaking barriers and shifting the cultural conversation with every nomination.

Beyond the Nods: The Legacy of Beyoncé’s Grammy Journey

Beyoncé has always been an artist who pushes the envelope, and with Cowboy Carter, she has once again proven her unstoppable power.

From the moment her album dropped, it was clear that Cowboy Carter wasn’t just another project—it was a movement. Whether she’s nominated for Best Country Album, Record of the Year, or even Melodic Rap Performance, Bey is making history every step of the way.
