Beyoncé received 10 nods on Tuesday for her dance-pop masterpiece “Renaissance,” including album of the year.
This brings her career total nominations to 89, surpassing her husband Jay-Z, who previously held the record. (He also received three nominations this year for his feature on Jay-Z’s “God Did” and an additional two for his work on “Renaissance,” bringing his own total up to 88.)
Bad Bunny’s “Un Verano Sin Ti” is the first all-Spanish album to be nominated for album of the year.

“Un Verano Sin Ti” will be the first album recorded entirely in Spanish to compete for the Grammys’ most prestigious award — just one year after Bad Bunny’s brilliant third album, “El Ultimo Tour Del Mundo,” was shut out of major categories.
“Un Verano Sin Ti” is also the first project in history to receive album of the year nods at both the Grammys and the Latin Grammys.
Taylor Swift now claims more song of the year nominations than any woman in history.

Taylor Swift was nominated for four Grammys this year, including song of the year for “All Too Well (10 Minute Version).”
This marks Swift’s sixth nomination for song of the year, making her the most-nominated woman in that category. She is tied with Paul McCartney and Lionel Richie for the most ever.
“All Too Well (10 Minute Version)” is also the first rerecording to be nominated in a major category.
Swift decided to recreate her first six studio albums after the legal rights to her early catalog were purchased by Scooter Braun, whom she described as a “bully.” Braun subsequently sold Swift’s masters to a private-equity company called Shamrock Holdings.
Her first rerecorded album, “Fearless (Taylor’s Version),” was released in April 2021. Swift declined to submit any of its songs for Grammys consideration that year.
Kendrick Lamar has become the first rapper to be nominated for album of the year with four consecutive releases.

Kendrick Lamar is now tied with Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) for the rapper with the most album of the year nominations (as a lead artist).
Unlike Ye, however, Lamar has received nods for four consecutive releases: 2012’s “Good Kid, M.A.A.D City,” 2015’s “To Pimp a Butterfly,” 2017’s “Damn,” and 2022’s “Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers.”
