Grammy Awards 2023: all the candidates

It’s a golden year for musicians and singers on the international sceneat least judging by the nominations Grammy Awards 2024. Regardless of how the most important awards ceremony on the international music scene ends (the big evening is scheduled for February 4th at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles), the nominations, just officially revealed by the Recording Academy, already show various results, almost all female .

The American R&B star singer-songwriter SZA (born Solána Imani Rowe)for example, has already reached her little big goal: she is in fact leading the ranking of the most nominated singers, with nine different nominations, including Record of the Year with Kill Bill.

SZA isn’t the only female artist to receive multiple Grammy nominations this year. Of the nine most nominated artists, eight are women: SZA (nine total nominations), Phoebe Bridgers (7), boygenius (6), Brandy Clark (6), Miley Cyrus (6), Olivia Rodrigo (6), Taylor Swift (6) and Victoria Monét (6). He noticed it too Miley Cyruswho on her Instagram profile thanked for the nominations, congratulating all the nominated artists, and underlining how proud it makes her “to watch women dominate the music industry”.

He is also the one to bring home his personal best Taylor Swift, who makes history by being the first singer to have received seven nominations for the best song of the year (better than Sir Paul McCartney and Lionel Richie, who were officially surpassed by the thirty-three-year-old blonde). At the next Grammys Taylor Swift will try to win the prestigious award with hers Anti-Herobut will also compete for the title of Record of the Year with Midnightsin the company – among others – of Miley Cyrus (who competes for the first time with hers Endless Summer Vacation) and Lana Del Rey. With this nomination – the sixth of her life for best album – Taylor Swift also joins Barbra Streisand at the top of the list of the most nominated women ever for an album. And if she were to win, Taylor would become the first artist to win the title four times, surpassing Frank Sinatra, Paul Simon and Stevie Wonder.
