Women Dominate 67th Annual Grammy Awards Nominations
SZA leads the pack with nine nods.
The music industry is gearing up for the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, and this year’s nominations reflect a powerful and diverse array of talent, with SZA emerging as the front-runner with an impressive nine nominations. The list of nominees showcases the dominance of women in the music universe, with SZA leading the pack and several other female artists receiving multiple nominations.
SZA’s nine nominations span various categories, making her a formidable contender at the upcoming awards ceremony. Other key nominees include Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Boygenius, Miley Cyrus, Jon Batiste, Victoria Monét, and Billie Eilish, each vying for recognition in different categories, including the highly coveted Record of the Year.
Eight contenders are in the running in the Album of the Year category, including familiar names from the Record of the Year category, such as SZA, Swift, Rodrigo, Boygenius, Cyrus, and Batiste. Lana Del Rey and Janelle Monae have also earned nominations for their outstanding album releases.
While SZA leads with nine nominations, three other music figures—Victoria Monét, Phoebe Bridgers, and mixing engineer Serban Ghenea closely follow with seven nominations each. Eight musicians, including producer Jack Antonoff, Jon Batiste, Boygenius, Brandy Clark, Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, and Taylor Swift, have earned six nominations each.
Interestingly, Jon Batiste is the only male performer with six or more nominations. Out of the top three general-field categories, which comprise 24 nominations, only three feature recordings from male artists—all belonging to Jon Batiste.
The Grammy Awards will take place on February 4, 2024, and broadcast live on CBS. Taylor Swift, already a multiple Grammy Award winner, can potentially become the all-time leader for Album of the Year wins if her album Midnights prevails in that category. This would mark her fourth win, currently tying her with legends such as Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, and Paul Simon.
Noteworthy is Swift’s record-breaking achievement of being the first person ever to receive seven Song of the Year nominations. The Barbie soundtrack has also significantly impacted, with four out of five songs in the Songs Written for Visual Media category.
Surprises and snubs are inevitable in award nominations; this year is no exception. One of the biggest surprises is the seven nominations for Victoria Monét, a recognition that few forecasters anticipated. Among the snubs are country and rap music. Both genres were relegated to their specific category.
As we await the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, the diverse array of nominees promises an exciting and celebratory event, showcasing the incredible talent and achievements within the music industry over the past year.
