Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter was viewed by experts and fans as a reclamation and homage to an overlooked legacy of Black Americans within country music and culture

 Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter was viewed by experts and fans as a reclamation and homage to an overlooked legacy of Black Americans within country music and culture.

It became the first album by a Black woman to land at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart when it was released last spring.

The Beyonce album was snubbed, however, by voters for the Country Music Awards in September.

In the best new artist field, ‘Espresso’ singer Carpenter will face fellow pop singer Roan, pop-rock singer Benson Boone, hip-hop/country artist Shaboozey, multi-genre musician Teddy Swims and others.

Another name on the Grammy nominations list? The Beatles. ‘Now and Then,’ produced with artificial intelligence to bring the voice of John Lennon to life, was nominated for song of the year.

Best Pop Solo Performance nominations went to Beyonce, Sabrina Carpenter, Charli XCX, Billie Eilish, and Chappell Roan.

Best New Artist went to Benson Boone, Sabrina Carpenter, Doechii, Khruangbin, Raye, Chappell Roan, Shaboozey and Teddy Swims. 

Best Country Album went to Cowboy Carter, F-1, Deeper Well, Higher, and Whirlwind.

Song of the Year went to Beyoncé – Texas Hold ‘Em, Billie Eilish – Birds of a Feather, Chappell Roan – Good Luck, Babe!, Kendrick Lamar – Not Like Us, Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars – Die With a Smile, Sabrina Carpenter – Please Please Please, Shaboozey – A Bar Song (Tipsy) and Taylor Swift Featuring Post Malone – Fortnight.

Best Country Solo Performance was: Beyoncé – 16 Carriages, Chris Stapleton – It Takes a Woman, Jelly Roll – I Am Not Okay, Kacey Musgraves – The Architect, Shaboozey – A Bar Song (Tipsy).

Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media (Includes Film and Television) went to American Fiction, Challengers, The Color Purple, Dune: Part Two and Shogun. 

Nominees are being announced during a video stream live on the Grammy website and the Recording Academy’s YouTube channel on Friday at 8 a.m. Pacific and 11 a.m. Eastern.

There were several stars that listed off the nominations including Gayle King and Jim Gaffigan.

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

Past Grammy winners also jumped in: 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 Monét.

Only recordings commercially released in the U.S. between September 16, 2023 through August 30, 2024 were eligible for nominations.
