Beyoncé, Taylor top 2025 Grammy noms

The biggest night in music is just around the corner — and this year, the competition is stiff after a summer dominated by pop divas and male country stars.

In the last year, some of music's biggest and most recognizable faces have released chart-topping, infectious pop music. Artists like Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter and Charli XCX reached stratospheric heights after years of slowly rising in the industry. The Recording Academy's best new artist category is a competitive entree this year with women in pop like Carpenter, Roan and British artist Raye finally earning their flowers.

Even seasoned artists like Beyoncé and Taylor Swift made it a year worth celebrating in music with their spring album releases "Cowboy Carter" and "The Tortured Poets Department."  Respectively, these dominating pop forces received nods for the prestigious album of the year recognition for their work, which marks Beyoncé as the most Grammy-nominated artist in history with 99 nods. Pop wasn't the only music this year that resonated with people. Country hits from Teddy Swims, Shaboozey and Post Malone also received recognition. 

The 67th Grammys are set to be on Sunday, Feb. 2, at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
