While the freshly halted SAG-AFTRA strike may have put a brief pause on awards show season in the film and television industries, music’s biggest night is still more than ready to (quite literally) rock the stage in February 2024. And with a year full of music as stacked as this one (see: the Barbie movie’s iconic soundtrack, Olivia Rodrigo’s sophomore album Guts, and SZA’s history-making SOS, to name a few), there’s no question that this year's Grammy Awards are going to be chock-full of incredible performances.
On Friday, this year’s nominations rolled in with SZA leading the pack at nine nominations, including Record of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year. Additional key nominees include Victoria Monét with seven nods, and Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Miley Cyrus, Olivia Rodrigo, and Boygenius, who are all tied with six nominations each.
The 66th annual Grammy Awards will take place on Sunday, Feb. 4, 2024, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The show will be broadcast on CBS and streamed on Paramount+. Read on for a list of this year’s top nominees.
