With the Grammy nominations rolling in one after the other, the audacious uproar of the music industry can be felt far and wide. And speaking of audacity, the artist who holds all the power cards in her bag, Taylor Swift, is grabbing headlines because of a far weirder award season flex than the record-breaking updates she famously feeds the fodder to media with. While the 2024 Grammy Awards was testimony of Swift’s power-play with thousands of red-carpet witnesses, the upcoming is gearing up to be more intriguing with a Swift update that is first and foremost extraneous to her feats.

While Swift is famous for bringing flavor to every award season, this time the brewery has a special aftertaste to revel in.

Taylor Swift scored six nominations for the 2025 Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year for her 11th record-breaking studio album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department.’ However, besides dusting off the Grammy shelf of trophy catalog to make space for some more, Swift has a much different Grammy show-off to make since three of the opening acts artists from the Eras Tour are now in the running for Grammy’s title of the Best New Artist. 

The names vying for the trophy are the star who went from filling her walls with Swift’s posters to opening her globetrotting tour, Sabrina Carpenter, followed by the Washington-born artist, Benson Boone, famous for his work in the pop arena. Lastly, Rachel Agatha Keen, better known as Raye, rounds out the list of Eras Tour openers reaching for the Grammy stars.

Whether any of them will be taking home a Grammy or not, Swift still has plenty of reasons to celebrate, especially now that she has gifted herself six solid chances at that golden gramophone.

After an unforgettable Grammy ceremony this year with the declaration of ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ that caught every fan awaiting ‘Reputation (Taylor’s Version)’ off-guard, Taylor Swift is more than ready for the upcoming one with six total nominations. Swift has earned a nomination in categories including Record, Song, and Best Music Video of the Year for ‘Fortnight,’ Album of the Year for ‘The Tortured Poets Department,’ and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for her track, ‘Us,’ featuring another Eras Tour opener, Gracie Abrams. 

In a juicy musical plot twist, however, even though Swift snatched Beyoncé’s crown at the VMAs with the most wins, the Grammys have flipped the script with Queen Bey’s rolling in with eleven nominations to Swift’s six. Thus, it is safe to say the 2025 Grammy is shaping up for quite a thrilling rat race as Swift’s eye on an unforgettable sweep now has to square off with Beyoncé’s hope for redemption.
