Taylor Swift sets new records at Grammy nominations with SZA taking the lead

Pop powerhouse Taylor Swift has achieved yet another milestone as the Grammy award nominations are unveiled.

Swift, who is currently on the road with her epic Eras Tour, has made history as the first artist to have seven tracks nominated in the prestigious Song Of The Year category, with her track Anti-Hero receiving a nomination.

She has previously been nominated in the category with You Belong With Me, Shake It Off, Blank Space, Lover, Cardigan and All Too Well.

Swift’s latest studio album Midnights is up for Album Of The Year, and her remix of the track Karma with Ice Spice has been recognized in the duo’s category.

If she wins the album category, it would make her the first artist to win the accolade four times.

However, SZA leads the nominations this year with nine, and she is also up for song, album, and duo performance, as well as best R&B performance and Record Of The Year.

She’s followed by indie artist Phoebe Bridgers and her group Boygenius, as well as Olivia Rodrigo and Victoria Monet.

Billie Eilish and Miley Cyrus have also received a handful of nominations, with the former getting recognition for her song What Was I Made For, which she wrote for the Barbie movie, while Cyrus’ hit Flowers has received several nods.

Barbie dominates the soundtrack category, with five of the six nominated tracks coming from the summer smash – including Ryan Gosling’s I’m Just Ken and Dua Lipa’s Dance The Night.

Jon Batiste has the most nominations among male artists, being nominated in the jazz category, as well as Record, Song, and Album of the year.
