Beyonce has received nine nominations for the 2023 GRAMMY awards and now holds a joint record with husband Jaay-Z as the most nominated GRAMMY artists in history.
The 41-year-old superstar – who is now tied with husband Jay-Z as the most nominated artist in GRAMMY history with a total of 88 each – enjoyed a career comeback earlier this year with chart-topping single ‘Break My Soul’ as well as new album ‘Renaissance’ and has received a total of nine nods for the upcoming ceremony, with nominations in the categories of Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Album of the Year, Best New Artist, Best R and B Song, and Best Dance/Electronic Music Album, Best R and B Performance, and Best Song Written For Visual Media.
However, the ‘Single Ladies’ hitmaker faces competition – who is closely followed by Kendrick Lamar with eight nominations in total – faces competition from the likes of fellow superstars Adele, Lizzo, and Harry Styles, for their respective albums ’30’, ‘Special’ and ‘Harry’s House’ as well as the lead singles spawned by the records.
Harvey Mason Jr said in a statement: “I’m energized by this year’s slate of nominees and how each of them uses their craft to inspire us and to remind us that music is our universal language. Each of these deserving nominees has helped to provide the world with an incredible soundtrack and is a true testament to how vibrant our entire music community truly Celebrating the miracle of music is at the core of everything we do at the Recording Academy and today we are proud and honored to celebrate music’s power to lift people up and to bring them together.”
Other stars to be included on the list include the likes of Doja Cat – who won a GRAMMY in 2022 along with SZR for their collaborative effort ‘Kiss Me More’ but has this time been acknowledged for her solo hit ‘Woman’ – while ‘Love Story’ hitmaker Taylor Swift has also received a nod for ‘All Too Well’ in the category of Song of the Year.
The 65th Annual GRAMMY Awards will return to Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena on Sun, Feb. 5, 2023, and will broadcast live on the CBS Television Network and stream live and on-demand on Paramount+ at 8-11:30 p.m.
