The Grammy award nominations have been announced and a round of applause to SZA, who's leading the pack with a whopping nine nominations, followed by Victoria Monét,Phoebe Bridgers, and Serban Ghenea who landed 7 each.
On the queer music front, boygenius, the band that features queer members Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus, and Julien Baker, scored six nominations this year, with Miley Cyrus also nabbing six for her album Endless Summer Vacation.
Janelle Monáe and Brothers Osbourne scored two nominations, the former in the Album of the Year category for The Age of Pleasure, which also got nominated in the Progressive R&B Album category. The latter, which features openly gay singer TJ Osbourne was nominated in the Best Country Album and Best Country Duo/Group Performance category.
Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo and Lana Del Rey all scored in the major categories - Album, Song and Record of the Year.
Speaking of Monet, she joins contemporaries Coco Jones, Halle Bailey and Ice Spice as first time nominees. While we're on Ice Spice (who, btw secured four nominations), Nicki Minaj received her first nomination in seven years for their collab Barbie World.
“FOUR GRAMMY NOMINATIONS ?! are u sh—-n me!!! thank YOU 🫵” tweeted Ice Spice, who’s also up for best pop duo, best rap song and best song written for visual media.
“I haven’t cried like this since it father died,” wrote Jelly Roll in an emotional post. “I literally can’t believe it – as of today I have officially been nominated for 2 Grammys – I am trembling with tears …”
I also want to bow down to international pop icon Kylie Minogue, who's album Tension is not only her most well-received album in the US since Fever, but she received her first Grammy nomination in 15 years for Padam Padam. Troye Sivan, who scored two nominations will go head-to-head with mother Minogue in the Best Pop Dance Recording category.
