Taylor Swift is the first woman in history to be nominated for album of the year at the Grammys seven times.
The “Fortnight” singer has won the top category four times, making history at the 2024 awards show when she took home the hardware for “Midnights.”
Now, Swift will be gunning to take home the award once again come February 2025.
On Friday, the pop star, 34, scored five nominations for her latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” which came out in April.
In addition to album of the year, Swift was nominated for record of the year (“Fortnight”), song of the year (“Fortnight”), best pop vocal album (“The Tortured Poets Department”) and best music video (“Fortnight”).
She also snagged a nod for best pop duo/group performance for her feature on Gracie Abrams’ song “Us.”
However, Swift wasn’t the only person to make history Friday when the list came out.
Beyoncé led the pack with a whopping 11 nominations, making her the most-nominated artist in the show’s history. The “Halo” singer now has 99 total nominations throughout her career.
“Cowboy Carter” is up for album and country album of the year, and “Texas Hold ’Em” is nominated for record, song and country song of the year.
Beyoncé also received a smattering of nods in other genres, such as pop, country, Americana and melodic rap performance.
Despite winning 29 Grammys throughout her career, the “Diva” singer has yet to take home music’s biggest prize: album of the year.
She and Swift will battle against André 3000, Sabrina Carpenter, Charli XCX, Jacob Collier, Billie Eilish and Chappell Roan for the illustrious award this year.
However, fans believe there was one deserving musician left off the list: Ariana Grande.
The “Yes, And?” singer’s album “Eternal Sunshine” was one of the biggest of the year. However, she only received three nominations — none being in the top four main categories.
