Taylor Swift is aiming for another record

The Grammy nominations are in, and it's a female-dominated list for the 2024 awards ceremony with Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo leading the way.

Tay-Tay has even broke a Grammys record - her hit single Anti-Hero was nominated for Song Of The Year, making it her seventh nomination in the category.

That takes her past music legends like Sir Paul McCartney from the Beatles.

And she has the potential to make even more history if she wins in the Album of the Year category for the fourth time with Midnight.

There's even been a shout out to the song I'm Just Ken from the Barbie movie

The music from the Barbie movie has also got 12 nominations including Dua Lipa's Dance the Night, which is up for Song Of The Year.

Billy Eilish's song What Was I Made For has five nominations on its own, including Song, Record and Solo pop performance of the year.

And we can't forget I'm Just Ken, which is up for best song written for visual media, as is Barbie World by Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice.

Pop princess Olivia Rodrigo has done well too, as her latest album GUTS has nominations for best album, song and record - something she also achieved with her debut SOUR.

  • The Grammy Awards are an annual ceremony held in the USA, which celebrate outstanding achievement in the music industry.

  • Musicians are nominated for a Grammy award by music companies, and the winners are chosen by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.

  • The award ceremony first started in 1959, as a way to honour those people who produced really great music, and has continued ever since.

  • The Grammy Awards are seen as the most important and respected prizes in the music business, so winning one is pretty important!

Olivia Rodrigo is no stranger to Grammy success

There's been a few changes to the awards this year.

For starters, it's a lot harder to get a nomination, as many categories have dropped from 10 to eight slots.

And there are also three new categories: Best African Music Performance, Best Alternative Jazz Album and Best Pop Dance Recording.

The 2024 Grammy Awards take place on 4 February in Los Angeles, with hosts yet to be announced.

Earlier this year, Beyoncé became the most decorated artist in Grammys history, winning four awards at the 65th ceremony - bringing her total haul to 32.
