Taylor Swift continues her record-breaking journey at the Grammy Awards, becoming the first female artist in Grammy history to receive seven nominations for Album of the Year. The 34-year-old singer’s latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, has brought her six new Grammy nominations, further solidifying her influence in the music industry.
On November 8, the Recording Academy released its official list of 2025 Grammy nominations. Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department, which debuted in April, earned five major nominations: Album of the Year, Record of the Year for “Fortnight,” Song of the Year for “Fortnight,” Best Pop Vocal Album, and Best Music Video for “Fortnight.” Additionally, her duet “Us” with Gracie Abrams received a nomination for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
Swift’s career is already decorated with four Grammy wins for Album of the Year (Midnights in 2024, Folklore in 2021, 1989 in 2016, and Fearless in 2010), giving her the highest achievement in this category in the history of the awards. Fans are excited to see if she will break yet another record at the upcoming ceremony.
