Taylor Swift’s Historic 2025 Grammy Nominations Prove She’s Anything But a Tortured Poet

All at once, the rest is history.

Because Taylor Swift’s 2025 Grammy nominations just earned her yet another record. While the 34-year-old was previously tied with music legend Barbra Streisand for the most nominations in the Album of the Year category by a female artist at six, Taylor’s latest nod for The Tortured Poet’s Department this year brings her total to seven.

Making her the official female artist with the most Album of the Year nominations, with TTPD joining the ranks alongside Fearless, Red, 1989, Folklore, Evermore and Midnights.

And Album of the Year is only one of six nominations Taylor added this year to the impressive 52 she’s already collected.

Among her other nods this year are Record of the Year for "Fortnight" featuring Post Malone, which was also recognized in the Song of the Year category. With this nod, Taylor makes Grammy history once again, becoming the only artist to ever earn eight Song of the Year nominations.

The record-making moment should come as no surprise. After all, Taylor continues to make Grammys history year after year.

Last year, she become the most-nominated artist for Song of the Year last year with “Anti-Hero,” and then became first person to ever take home Album of the Year four times.

And while accepting the Grammy for Midnights—which also earned Best Pop Vocal Album—Taylor shared some insight into what it’s like for her to receive the recognition.

"I would love to tell you this is the best moment of my life," she gushed. "But I feel this happy when I finish a song or when I crack the code to a bridge that I love or when I'm shot-listing a music video or when I'm rehearsing with my dancers or my band or getting ready to go to Tokyo to play a show."

She continued, "For me, the award is the work. All I want to do is keep being able to do this. I love it so much. It makes me so happy. It makes me unbelievably blown away that it makes some people happy who voted for this award. All I want to do is keep doing this."

But Taylor isn’t the only highly nominated artist for the 2025 Grammys. Beyoncé is also making history this year with 11 nominations for Cowboy Carter, bringing her career total to a jaw-dropping 99 nods.
