The US singer, 43, led the pack with 11 nominations for her chart-topping country music album Cowboy Carter, which marked the follow-up to Renaissance, act one of a planned trilogy. In a post to Instagram, Beyonce congratulated Martell, who is nominated for best melodic rap performance alongside her and Shaboozey with the single Spaghettii. Martell also delivers a spoken-word segment on track The Linda Martell Show from the same album.
Beyonce made history during the Grammys ceremony in 2023, securing the most awards won in a lifetime after picking up her 32nd gong. However, the star has never won the prestigious album of the year prize. This year, Cowboy Carter has secured nods for album of the year and best country album while track Texas Hold ‘Em is up for the coveted record of the year, song of the year and country song of the year.
Tracks from the album include Bodyguard, which was nominated for best pop solo performance, and Levii’s Jeans featuring Post Malone, which is up for best pop duo performance, while 16 Carriages received a nod for best country solo performance and II Most Wanted featuring Miley Cyrus is up for best country duo. Kendrick Lamar and Billie Eilish are among those with seven nominations each while Taylor Swift and Chappell Roan each scored six nods at the female-dominated nominations. Elsewhere, Sabrina Carpenter’s slew of nods included a song of the year nomination for Please Please Please.
