Beyonce has had an incredible year. In March, she released her eighth studio album, COWBOY CARTER, just months after finishing her record-breaking "Renaissance" tour. She also started her own successful whiskey brand called SirDavis. Now, she's made history with her nominations for the 2025 Grammys. Billboard reports that she has 11 nominations, the highest ever for a female artist in a single year. She surpassed her own record of 10, which she previously shared with Lauryn Hill. Hill and Beyonce both received 10 nominations in the past, in 1999 and 2010, respectively. Among the categories she is nominated for are Record of the Year and Album of the Year, competing against artists like Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, and Billie Eilish.
This news comes alongside claims that she was overlooked at the People's Choice Country Awards and the Country Music Awards, where she received no nominations despite the success of COWBOY CARTER. Dolly Parton also spoke on these snubs in an interview, suggesting that the country music field tends to favor artists who have dedicated their lives to the genre.
