Grammy Showdown: Rising Stars and Titans Set to Shine

ca times.brightspotcdn

Get ready for the 67th Grammy Awards, where female powerhouses like Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan are set to dominate. These rising stars are eyeing the coveted Best New Artist category after a year of breakthroughs and festival takeovers.

And of course, industry giants Taylor Swift and Beyoncé are back in the mix. Swift, fresh off breaking the record for most Album of the Year wins, is riding high with her latest release, “The tortured poets department,” while wrapping up her epic Eras Tour. Meanwhile, Queen Bey is poised to extend her reign as the most nominated artist ever and might snag a Best Country Album nod after being snubbed by the CMAs. Post Malone’s country debut could also make some waves.

Charli XCX fans are buzzing, expecting her trendsetting album “Brat ” to secure spots in the Album of the Year and pop categories. And in the rap game, Kendrick Lamar’s summer anthem “Not Like Us” might just earn him a nod for its fiery diss at Drake.

The Recording Academy wrapped up its first-round voting in mid-October, unveiling some key updates to the awards process, including new eligibility criteria and renamed categories. This year will also see the debut of the Harry Belafonte Best Song for Social Change Award, a tribute to the legendary calypso icon and civil rights hero.

Mark your calendars for February 2nd on CBS, when the Grammy Awards will reveal their nominees.
