The announcement of the GRAMMY 2025 nominations officially took place on the night of November 8, drawing attention from millions of music fans worldwide. Notably, Beyoncé stands out as the most nominated artist this year, dominating several categories with 11 nominations, which has sparked significant controversy.
One of the most debated categories is Best Pop Solo Performance. The nominees for this category include: BODYGUARD (Beyoncé), Espresso (Sabrina Carpenter), Apple (Charli XCX), BIRDS OF A FEATHER (Billie Eilish), and Good Luck, Babe! (Chappell Roan). Among these, BODYGUARD by Beyoncé and Apple by Charli XCX have generated the most controversy, with fans arguing that these tracks are less impactful compared to the other nominees.
Some have suggested that songs like we can’t be friends (wait for your love) by Ariana Grande, Beautiful Things by Benson Boone, or Too Sweet by Hozier should have been nominated instead, as they received high praise from critics and listeners alike but were excluded from the category.
Moreover, the fact that Beyoncé is leading with the most nominations in GRAMMY 2025 has raised eyebrows. Her album Cowboy Carte, though not considered a standout release compared to other projects this year, is prominently featured in major categories, which has left many puzzled. Fans have also expressed disappointment that artists like Ariana Grande, Benson Boone, and Hozier, despite their successful commercial and critically acclaimed work, were overlooked.
GRAMMY 2025 promises to be a night full of surprises and controversies, especially with Beyoncé’s dominance in key categories. The awards ceremony will take place on Sunday, February 2, 2025, and will be broadcast live on the morning of February 3, 2025.
Stay tuned to see if Beyoncé continues her winning streak or if there will be any surprises during the award night.
