Give Beyoncé a record and she’ll break it. When the 2025 Grammy Award nominations were announced, her genre-defying album “Cowboy Carter" led the nominations with 11. That brought Beyoncé's career total nominations to a whopping 99, making her the most nominated artist in Grammys history. Another amazing feat: “Cowboy Carter” tied Michael Jackson's “Thriller” for the most nominated release.
Most impressive of all? She’s also the most decorated artist, having earned 32 trophies across her career. But two of the top prizes still elude her — record and album of the year. Below, ahead of next month's show, dive into Beyoncé’s legacy with the Grammys. It’s stuffed with unforgettable moments, surprises and snubs.
Beyoncé attends the Grammys for the first time alongside the rest of her girl group, Destiny’s Child: Michelle Williams, Kelly Rowland and Farrah Franklin. Franklin would soon leave the band — but not before receiving its first nominations. “Bills, Bills, Bills” from their second studio album, “The Writing’s on the Wall,” was up for rhythm & blues song and R&B performance by a duo or group with vocal.
CAREER WINS: 0. CAREER NOMINATIONS: 2. Now a trio, Beyoncé returns with Destiny’s Child to collect her first of many Grammy wins. “Say My Name” earns them the award for R&B song and R&B performance by a duo or group with vocal. It's also nominated in two of the big four categories, for song and record of the year.
