  Will Beyoncé’s country era be better recognized by Grammy voters?

  

  The superstar had one of the biggest songs of the year with “Texas Hold ‘Em” and her country album, Cowboy Carter, was well received by critics. Beyoncé made history as the first Black woman to debut at No. 1 on the Top Country Albums chart, but she was snubbed when she failed to earn a single nomination at the 2024 CMA Awards.

  That should change at the Grammys.

  Beyoncé remains the most nominated female artist in Grammy history and will likely add to that number on Friday.

  She already holds the title of artist with the most wins ever, with 32 awards. However, the singer also has a history of being snubbed by Recording Academy voters, having never won in the prestigious Album of the Year category.

  Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter among the singers in the Best New Artist voting

  One of the biggest awards at the Grammys is Best New Artist, with past winners including Billie Eilish, Megan Thee Stallion, Adele and John Legend. Who will join the prestigious group in 2025?

  Sabrina Carpenter (“Espresso”), Chappell Roan (“Good Luck, Babe!”), Benson Boone (“Beautiful Things”), Shaboozey (“A Bar Song (Tipsy)”) and Teddy Swims (“Lose Control”) are this year, all were eligible and considered frontrunners to make the cut.

  Some wonder how Carpenter can be considered in this category when she just released her sixth album in August. Is that really her? new?

  According to the Grammys’ rules and guidelines, “eligible artists must have achieved a breakthrough in the public consciousness and made an impact on the musical landscape during the year’s eligibility period.”

  Clearly, Carpenter had breakthrough relevance since September 15, 2023, the last day of the previous eligibility year.
