Here is a list of nominees in the major categories for the 66th annual Grammy Awards, which will be handed out on Sunday, Feb. 4 in Los Angeles (morning of Feb. 5 in the Philippines).
SZA leads all contenders with nine nominations, as women including Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Victoria Monet, and Phoebe Bridgers along with the group boygenius rule the slate.
When it comes to the night’s most prestigious top album prize, a woman will win — or jazzman Jon Batiste, the only man in the running for it.
This year’s Grammys will be hosted anew by comedian Trevor Noah, who has been hosting the musical awards night since 2021. Noah, incidentally, is nominated this year for Best Comedy Album for “I Wish You Would”.
