The 2025 Grammy Winners

Beyoncé?! Once again, it’s the question on everybody’s lips. The star comes into the Grammys leading the nominations yet again, this time with 11 for her album Cowboy Carter. Beyoncé is seeking her first country awards at the ceremony, along with, for the fifth time, that damn Album of the Year trophy. We’ve learned to keep our expectations low. At least there are other things to be excited about: Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan come into the ceremony for the first time with six nominations apiece, while Charli XCX has exploded back into contention for the first time in a decade with eight nods. Usual suspects Billie Eilish (seven), Kendrick Lamar (seven), and Taylor Swift (six) are also back, and, hey, there’s even room for Post Malone (eight). Look down the ballot for even more surprises, where a woman could win Best Metal Performance for the first time and country pioneer Linda Martell is up for a rap award. Even the Weeknd is nominated!

Awards will be given out on February 2 at the Grammys preshow beginning 3:30 p.m. ET, followed by the main event at 8 p.m. Below, the winners of the 2025 Grammys, updating live throughout the evening.
