Grammy Awards 2024: Taylor Swift Sets a New Nomination Record

November 11, 2023

In the “Song of the Year” category, Swift’s hit “Anti-Hero” securing a nomination cements her as the first songwriter to receive seven nods in this category, surpassing the previous record held by Sir Paul McCartney and Lionel Richie, each with six nominations.

Furthermore, she secured nominations in the Album and Record of the Year categories, sharing the spotlight with Olivia Rodrigo, Miley Cyrus, and SZA. Additionally, Lana Del Rey and Dua Lipa are among the other contenders for the Song of the Year award. Notably, Billie Eilish, Jon Batiste, and SZA have also earned recognition in this competitive category.

Swift’s Album of the Year nomination for “Midnights” marks her sixth nod in this prestigious category, tying her with Barbra Streisand for the most nominations received by a female artist. If she emerges victorious, Swift will make history as the first artist to win Album of the Year four times.

It’s worth mentioning that this year’s Grammy nominations were more competitive due to the implementation of new rules, which reduced the number of nominations in each category from ten to eight. The eagerly anticipated Grammy Awards ceremony is scheduled for February 4th in Los Angeles, with the hosts yet to be announced.
