The women certainly have reason to attend. Swift is up for six awards at the ceremony, while Beyoncé raked in 11 nominations.
The women will go head-to-head in several categories. Swift’s “Fortnight” will compete against Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em” in the Record of the Year and Song of the Year categories.

Additionally, in the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category, Swift and Gracie Abrams’ “Us” is up against Beyoncé and Post Malone’s “Levii’s Jeans.”
Elsewhere, Swift is nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album for Tortured Poets and Best Music Video for “Fortnight.”
Meanwhile, Beyoncé is up for Best Pop Solo Performance for “Bodyguard,” Best Melodic Rap Performance for “Spaghettii,” Best Country Solo Performance for “16 Carriages,” Best Country Duo/Group Performance for her and Miley Cyrus’ “II Most Wanted,” Best Country Song for “Texas Hold ‘Em,” Best Country Album for Cowboy Carter, and Best Americana Performance for “Ya Ya.”
What to Expect from the 2025 GRAMMY Awards
Swift and Beyoncé are far from the only people in the spotlight at the upcoming awards show. In addition to the two women, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, and Sabrina Carpenter are nominated the three big categories.
Roan and Carpenter are also competing in the Best New Artist category. If either of them came out victorious in all four general categories they’d be the first to do so since Billie Eilish in 2020.
Other storylines include Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, Post Malone, and Charlie XCX’s seven nominations, which is followed by Swift, Roan, and Carpenter’s six nods.
Amid the devastating wildfires in California, show itself will look a little different this year. The telecast been reimagined as a fundraiser to support wildfire relief efforts and aid music professionals impacted by the blazes. To get the fundraising process underway, The Recording Academy and MusiCares have pledged $1 million to the cause.
The 2025 GRAMMY Awards will take place on Feb. 2 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California.
