Grammys 2025: Predictions Highlight Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, and Rising Stars

The 67th Grammy Awards will feature fierce competition across major categories, with Beyoncé aiming for her first Album of the Year win and new talent like Chappell Roan in the spotlight.

Beyoncé leads the nominations with 11 nods, including Album of the Year for her genre-blending country-inspired album 'Cowboy Carter,' but faces tough competition from Charli XCX, Taylor Swift, and Billie Eilish.
Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us,' a critically acclaimed diss track, is predicted by many to win Record of the Year, marking a rare victory for rap in the category.
The Best New Artist category pits breakout stars Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter against each other, with Roan's theatrical pop style seen as a possible edge over Carpenter's established career.
Charli XCX's 'Brat,' widely celebrated as one of 2024’s most innovative albums, is a critical favorite for Album of the Year, though some speculate Grammy voters may lean toward more familiar names like Beyoncé or Taylor Swift.
The Beatles have earned nominations for 'Now and Then,' their AI-assisted final song, but are seen as underdogs in the Record of the Year category against contemporary heavyweights.
