SZA leads the list of Grammy Award nominees.
The 34-year-old star – whose real name is Solana Rowe – has received nine nominations in total, including nods in the Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year categories.
SZA released her acclaimed ‘SOS’ album back in December 2022, and it features the hit single ‘Kill Bill’, which is among the nominees for the Record of the Year gong.
Victoria Monet is the second-most nominated artist, with seven nominations in total.
The 34-year-old singer – who has previously written hits for the likes of Ariana Grande and Fifth Harmony – is among the nominees for the Best New Artist crown alongside Coco Jones, Gracie Abrams, Fred Again, Ice Spice, Jelly Roll, Noah Kahan, and The War and Treaty.
Victoria is also in contention for the Best RnB Album and Best RnB Performance awards.
Elsewhere, Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, Miley Cyrus, and Boygenius have all received six nominations each, with female artists broadly dominating the leading categories.
Taylor, 33, has actually become the first artist in history to receive seven nominations in the prestigious Song of the Year category.
The shortlisting of ‘Anti-Hero’ has seen Taylor surpass the likes of Sir Paul McCartney and Lionel Richie for the all-time record.
The chart-topping star – who released her album ‘Midnights’ in October 2022 – has also tied with Barbra Streisand for the most all-time nominations by a female artist.
SZA and Taylor will compete for the Record of the Year accolade with the likes of Jon Batiste, Boygenius, Miley Cyrus, Billie Eillish, Victoria Monet, and Olivia Rodrigo.
Organizers of the Grammys have amended the rules this year, meaning that the overall number of nominees has been reduced.
The awards ceremony will be held in Los Angeles on February 4.
