There were several stars who mentioned the nominations, including Gayle King and Jim Gaffigan.

Previous Grammy winners also participated: Brandy Clark, Kirk Franklin, David Frost, Robert Gordon, Kylie Minogue, Gaby Moreno, Deanie Parker, Ben Platt, Mark Ronson, Hayley Williams and last year’s best new artist recipient, Victoria Monet.

Only recordings commercially released in the US between September 16, 2023 and August 30, 2024 were eligible for nominations.

So don’t expect any album nods for Future’s ‘Mixtape Pluto’ (although Future and Metro Boomin’s ‘We Don’t Trust You’ will most likely score a nomination), George Strait’s ‘Cowboys and dreamers’ Tyler, the Creator ‘Chromacopy,’ or ‘Warriors,’ Lin-Manuel Miranda’s first full-length post-‘Hamilton’ musical starring Pulitzer finalist Eisa Davis.

There are a lot of unknowns in the announcements: Will Beyonce And PostMalone received nominations in the country music categories after the success of their massive albums ‘Cowboy Carter’ and ‘F-1 Trillion’, even though they are megastars not previously directly associated with the genre?

Shall Shaboozeys “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” the biggest song of the year that combines its country twang with the signature sample of J Kwon’s 2004 rap hit “Tipsy”?

The 2025 Grammy Awards will air live on CBS and Paramount+ on February 2 from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
