11 Nominations
Barbie might not be an artist, but she’s undeniably dominating the 2024 Grammy Awards. The Barbie movie has a staggering eleven nominations for Barbie the Album. Holding four out of five nominations in the category, Barbie is basically guaranteed to win the award for Best Song Written for Visual Media. Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice could all take home awards for their work on the movie’s soundtrack.

Indie folk darling Phoebe Bridgers is being celebrated for her collaborative work at the 2024 Grammy Awards. She’s up for six awards with her supergroup boygenius as well as Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for her feature on SZA’s Ghost in the Machine. For one of the music industry’s saddest singers, Phoebe could have a lot to be happy about.

Brandy Clark’s self-titled fourth album once again establishes her as one of Nashville’s greatest rhymers with an uncanny ability to combine comedy with tragedy. Brandy’s metaphors for lost lovers and misplaced memories is a melodic masterpiece that feels like a shoo-in to take home Best Americana Album.

With a whopping nine nominations, SZA is the most-nominated individual artist at the 2024 Grammy Awards. Her ambitious second album SOS is up for Album Of The Year and her smash hit Kill Bill is nominated for Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year. SZA is shaping up to have what might be the biggest night of her career.

Indie rock supergroup boygenius’ debut studio album the record is somehow more than the sum of its very impressive parts. Lucy Dacus, Julien Baker and Phoebe Bridgers came together after their individual breakout albums in 2018 to create one of the greatest musical triumphs of 2023. Hopefully the Grammy voters give them the trophies they deserve.

Miley Cyrus is an artist who has always been trying to prove she’s all grown up and she finally may have accomplished it with her Endless Summer Vacation album. Miley’s impossibly catchy Flowers became an anthem for independence and could easily take home Best Song, even in the very competitive category, and Best Pop Solo Performance.

Olivia Rodrigo’s uproarious second album Guts is a soundtrack for a generation of young girls coming of age and worthy of every nomination it picked up this year. Olivia has some stiff competition in every category she’s nominated in, including Album Of The Year and Record Of The Year. She won three awards the last time she was nominated, so don’t count her out.

Taylor Swift dominated the last year in every possible way from selling out stadiums around the world to conquering the movie theater box office and now she has her sights set on the Grammys. Taylor’s Anti-Hero could easily take Record of the Year and her choice to feature Ice Spice on Karma could very well lead to a win in Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.

Victoria Monét’s full-length debut Jaguar is a classic and sultry modern R&B classic that, much like the animal its named, is looking to sneak up on the 2024 Grammys. Victoria should easily walk away with awards for Traditional R&B Performance and R&B Album. She also has a strong shot at taking home the coveted Best New Artist award.

Of the ten most-nominated artists at the 2024 Grammy Awards, eight of them are women and one is the Barbie album. The odd man out is Jack Antonoff, who just so happens to be nominated for his production efforts with legendary female performers. Jack’s work with Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey oddly enough means he’s nominated against himself for both Song Of The Year and Album Of The Year. Jack could be the only artist of the night to win and lose at the same time twice.
