Big Grammy News for Georgia’s Music Stars!
Hey folks! If you’re a fan of music, you probably already know that this past Friday was a big day for the world of tunes, especially for our talented artists right here in Georgia! Grammy nominations were announced, and let me tell you, our Georgia stars are making waves!
Beyoncé Leads the Pack!
Let’s kick things off with the queen herself—Beyoncé! She just landed an incredible 11 nominations for the 2025 Grammy Awards, bringing her total career nominations up to a jaw-dropping 99. That means she’s officially snagged the title of the most nominated artist in Grammy history! 🎉 She’s got her hands in a variety of genres this year, with her album “Cowboy Carter” nominated for both Album of the Year and Country Album of the Year! Who would’ve thought?
Now, that’s not all! Her hit, “Texas Hold ‘Em,” is in the running for record, song, and country song of the year. Definitely a strong showing for someone who’s also stepping into the country and Americana genres for the first time! If Beyoncé wins Album of the Year, she’ll make history as the first Black woman to win this prestigious award in the 21st century—a feat that hasn’t been accomplished since Lauryn Hill took it home in 1999.
Georgia’s Own Rising Stars!
But hold on, the spotlight isn’t just on Beyoncé! Some amazing heart and soul comes from right here in Georgia as well. Post Malone is getting a taste of his first Grammy nominations too! His debut country album, “F-1 Trillion,” released this past August, is up for Country Album of the Year. To make things even more exciting, his collaboration with Morgan Wallen, titled “I Had Some Help,” is in the mix for Country Song and Country Duo/Group Performance. Talk about a big moment!
Now, right behind Queen B, we’ve got Post Malone with a total of 7 nominations, tied with other notable artists like Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, and Charli XCX, who is celebrating her first nominations as a solo artist. Props to all of them!
The Competition Heats Up!
It’s not just the usual suspects vying for those shiny gramophones. Taylor Swift, the unstoppable force, is raking in 6 nominations, alongside first-time nominees Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan. Let’s not forget Billie Eilish, who continues her streak of brilliance by having her first three albums nominated for Album of the Year—that’s no easy feat!
And speaking of records, Taylor Swift made history herself last year, winning Album of the Year for “Midnights,” making her the first woman to achieve four wins in this category. Now, she’s raising the bar even higher with seven career nominations. Go, girl!
What’s Next?
As we gear up for the big night, it’s exciting to see all the incredible talent coming out of Georgia! Whether it’s soul, rap, pop, or country, our artists are pushing boundaries and captivating audiences everywhere. When the awards roll around, make sure to cheer on our local stars and enjoy the thrill of it all!
