Grammy 2025: Ανακοινώθηκαν οι υποψηφιότητες

Η Beyoncé μόλις κέρδισε άλλο ένα επίτευγμα. Όσον αφορά τους αριθμούς, είναι εύκολα η βασίλισσα των υποψηφιοτήτων για τα βραβεία Grammy 2025, συγκεντρώνοντας 11 υποψηφιότητες για το άλμπουμ της «Cowboy Carter» και τα συναφή singles. Αυτό είναι το προσωπικό της ρεκόρ, ξεπερνώντας τις 10 υποψηφιότητες που είχε πάρει το 2009.

Αλλά η Beyoncé θα πρέπει να μοιραστεί την κορυφή του θριάμβου, καθώς είναι μόνο μία από τις πέντε δυναμικές γυναίκες που είναι υποψήφιες και στις τρεις κορυφαίες γενικές κατηγορίες φέτος – δίσκος, τραγούδι και άλμπουμ της χρονιάς. Μαζί της υποψήφιες και για τα τρία αυτά μεγάλα βραβεία είναι η Taylor Swift, η Billie Eilish, η Chappell Roan και η Sabrina Carpenter.

Η Chappell Roan και η Sabrina Carpenter είναι επίσης υποψήφιες για τον καλύτερο νέο καλλιτέχνη, πράγμα που σημαίνει ότι είναι υποψήφιες και στις τέσσερις γενικές κατηγορίες που είναι ανοιχτές σε καλλιτέχνες όλων των ειδών. Αν η Carpenter ή η Roan μπορέσουν να κερδίσουν τον καλύτερο νέο καλλιτέχνη συν το τρίο του δίσκου, του τραγουδιού και του άλμπουμ της χρονιάς, θα είναι οι πρώτοι που θα το καταφέρουν αυτό από το 2020 που το έκανε η Billie Eilish.

Τρεις άλλοι καλλιτέχνες πήραν υποψηφιότητες σε δύο από τις τρεις κορυφαίες κατηγορίες και συγκέντρωσαν σημαντικό αριθμό υποψηφιοτήτων: η Charli XCX, ο Post Malone και ο Kendrick Lamar.

Μετά τις 11 υποψηφιότητες της Beyoncé, η Billie Eilish, ο Kendrick Lamar, ο Post Malone και η Charli XCX είναι αυτοί που έχουν μια τετραπλή ισοπαλία για τον δεύτερο μεγαλύτερο αριθμό υποψηφιοτήτων φέτος, με επτά υποψηφιότητες ο καθένας. Με έξι υποψηφιότητες ακολουθούν η Taylor Swift, η Chappell Roan και η Sabrina Carpenter.

Τα βραβεία Grammy θα διεξαχθούν στην Crypto.com Arena στο Λος Άντζελες στις 2 Φεβρουαρίου του 2025 και θα μεταδοθούν ζωντανά από το CBS.
