Notable Trends and Surprises

This year’s Grammys highlight some much-deserved recognition. Charli XCX finally takes her place in the spotlight with multiple nominations, celebrating her boundary-pushing pop style that fans and critics alike have championed. Billie Eilish also continues to stun, earning accolades for Hit Me Hard and Soft, widely praised as one of her most heart-wrenching albums yet. Her raw lyrics and haunting melodies resonate deeply, capturing the intense emotions of a generation.

Not everyone is celebrating, though. Ariana Grande’s fans have voiced frustration over the exclusion of Eternal Sunshine from the marquee Album of the Year category, though it did land a Best Pop Vocal Album nomination. Released in March after a three-year break, the album features hits like “Yes, And?” and “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)” and was eagerly awaited by fans.

From the ongoing success of icons like Beyoncé and Taylor Swift to unexpected nods for trailblazers like The Beatles and newcomers like Chappell Roan, this year’s Grammy lineup showcases the Grammys’ commitment to recognizing artistry in its many forms.

The 67th Annual Grammy Awards will take place in February, 2025.
