This year’s Grammy Awards will be a woman’s world, with SZA taking home the most gold opportunities on the greatest night in music with nine, while pop icons Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift ruled the categories.
According to the nominees list revealed on Friday, Olivia Rodrigo, Phoebe Bridgers, and the rock band boygenius are also serious competitors for the February 4 gala, where the music from the hit movie “Barbie” will most likely win. With nominations in many categories, SZA—the sassy, R&B risk-taker whose nuanced romantic storylines brought her praise for her 2017 breakthrough single “Ctrl” and again for her 2022 hit song “SOS”—is certain to rule the gala.
Additionally, Bridgers—along with Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus—made up one-third of the boygenius supergroup, receiving seven nominations as opposed to the group’s six. Thanks to Eilish’s involvement on Greta Gerwig’s summer blockbuster “Barbie,” which also features Dua Lipa on the soundtrack, she has six Grammy Award possibilities.
Producer Jack Antonoff, who is in high demand, received six nominations for his work, including several with baroque pop singer Lana Del Rey, whose album “Did you know there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd.”
Meanwhile, Swift’s “Midnights” mixer Serban Ghenea, a highly sought-after engineer, received seven nominations. Victoria Monet, a rising R&B artist, garnered seven nominations in all, including the esteemed Record of the Year and Best New Artist awards.
