2024 Grammy Awards nominations: Taylor Swift leads list of music contenders

The list of nominations for the 2024 Grammy Awards just dropped, and to no one’s surprise, Taylor Swift is leading the pack.

Even the Recording Academy seems to be swept up in the wave of all things Swift, doling out a total of six nominations to the pop superstar, including Album of the Year for Midnights and Song of the Year for Anti-Hero. Swift has officially tied with Barbara Streisand with the most nominations for a female artist in a single year.

But it isn’t just Swift who’s secured multiple nominations: heavy hitters like Olivia Rodrigo, Lana Del Rey, Victoria Monét, SZA and Miley Cyrus will also vie for a number of categories on music’s biggest night.

Billie Eilish’s Barbie movie track What Was I Made For? also received lots of love this year, earning four nominations, including Song of the Year. Several other songs from the Barbie movie soundtrack also received a nod, including Dance the Night by Dua Lipa and Barbie World by Nicki Minaj & Ice Spice ft. Aqua.
