The 2023 Grammys winners are here

2023 Grammys nominations

Buckle up. We’ve got you covered with the full list. The recording academy has released its 2023 nominations for the 65th annual grammy awards. These are exciting times, seeing as the 2022 awards were indefinitely postponed due to the virus who must not be named..

Included in the roundup are some expected heavy hitters like Harry Styles, Bad Bunny, Taylor Swift, Doja Cat, Lizzo and Steve Lacy. Notably, in the record of the year category, Adele and Beyonce are both featured for the first time since 2017.

It comes as no surprise to absolutely anyone that Beyoncé ate at the Grammys. Not only is she the top nominee for the 2023 Awards, receiving 9 nominations, but throughout her career, Beyoncé has received 88 grammy nominations. This ties her with her husband Jay- Z for the most Grammy nominations received in history.
