The 2025 Grammy Awards most anticipated win will make history tonight - no matter who walks away with the accolade. The ceremony, which takes place at the Crypto.com Arena, in Los Angeles, on Sunday, might cause a stir as its main category, the revered Album of the Year accolade - will be a uniquely triumphant moment for each of the eight nominees. Musical legend Beyoncé could finally take home the award after years of being snubbed for the title - but she has got some fierce competition.

Taylor Swift, who has for the last two years dominated the radio waves and social media with her Eras Tour, is also eyeing up what would be a record-breaking fifth AOTY win - and could also become the first female artist to win the prize in consecutive years. Meanwhile Billie Eilish could be a more obvious choice with her album Hit Me Hard and Soft, meaning she would be only the third woman ever to win Album of the Year twice.

Swift, Beyonce’s and Eilish's albums will also square off against Charli XCX’s Brat - which was an online sensation that had even Kamala Harris jumpin on board - Sabrina Carpenter’s fan favourite Short N’ Sweet, and other impressive musicians. Here FEAMIL takes a look at each nominee and how it could make history for them... Beyoncé. The 2025 Grammy Awards album of the year win will make history- no matter who walks away with the accolade. Many fans are wondering if Beyoncé will finally win Album of the Year, after four previous losses in the category.

Many fans are wondering if Beyoncé will finally win Album of the Year, after four previous losses in the category. The singer's eighth studio album Cowboy Carter is up for 11 awards at the Grammys on Sunday. The Texas Hold 'Em hitmaker is the most decorated Grammy musician of all time after earning 32 statues from 99 nominations and leads with the highest number of nods this year. However the main focus on the night for the singer will be to finally land the covered AOTY.

Beyoncé's latest album was a wildly ambitious attempt to contextualise and commemorate the black roots of country music. However the album's excessive length, including what some felt were a few weaker tracks in its latter half - could count against it.

Should it win the top award, the LP would be Beyonce’s first record to win best album, having previously failed with 2008’s I Am… Sasha Fierce, 2013’s Beyonce, 2016’s Lemonade and 2022’s Renaissance.

Ironically, even if doesn't win, she'll still make history, as the person with the most nominations in that category without a win. During last year's ceremony, her husband Jay-Z addressed the oversight, telling the audience: 'I don't want to embarrass this young lady, but she has more Grammys than everyone and never won album of the year. So even by your own metrics, that doesn't work.'. The Brooklyn-born rapper was honored with the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award for his contribution to the music industry.

With his 12-year-old daughter Blue Ivy standing on stage beside him, and wife Beyonce looking on from their table in the audience, dressed in just-off-the-catwalk Louis Vuitton by Pharrell Williams, Jay-Z spoke about the importance of dreams, drive and ambition. He said that there were more important things in life than winning Grammys, noting they were subjective - and pointing out his superstar wife had never won best album.

The camera cut to Beyonce, looking slightly apprehensive in the audience. Jay-Z has been nominated for 88 competitive Grammy Awards, winning 24 of them. Six of his nominations have been for Album of the Year. Beyonce has also been nominated for 88 competitive Grammy Awards, winning 32 of them. In 2015, when Beyonce lost out on Album of the Year to Beck, Kanye West pretended to storm the stage in protest.

The moment drew parallels to West's actions in 2009, when he famously interrupted Swift as she accepted the Best Female Video award at the MTV Video Music Awards, telling her: 'Yo, Taylor, I'm really happy for you. ... but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time.'. West in 2015 mimed storming the stage again, protesting that her album 'Beyonce' lost out to Beck's 'Morning Phase.'. Recording Academy voters choose who wins Album of the Year, and in 2015 the voter base was split between Pharrell, Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith. Beck's support was united, leading to Beck's win.

Beck said after the show: 'Absolutely I thought she was going to win. You can't please everybody. 'I still love him and think he's genius. I aspire to what he does. How many great records has he put out in the last five years, right?'. West, a protégée of Jay-Z's, insisted in interviews in 2015 that Beyonce had been robbed. 'All I know is if the Grammys want real artists to keep coming back, they need to stop playing with us. We ain't gonna play with them no more,' he said.
