Beyoncé has officially become the most Grammy-nominated artist in the history of the award show.
The pop icon received 11 nominations at the 67th annual Grammy Awards for her recently released eighth studio album ‘Cowboy Carter’ including categories for Album of the Year and Best Country Album while the LP’s single ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’ earned nominations for Record of the Year, and Song of the Year.
She was previously tied with her husband Jay-Z for a total of 88 nominations but following the announcement of the 67th annual Grammy Awards noms, the ‘Crazy In Love’ singer has earned a total of 99 nominations throughout her career.
Back in 2023, Beyoncé broke the record for most Grammy wins of all time, with 32 trophies to her name. Earlier this year, Jay-Z took a moment to call out the Recording Academy for Beyoncé never being awarded Album Of The Year.
While accepting the Global Impact Award onstage during the 66th Grammy Awards, the rapper said: “I don’t want to embarrass this young lady, but she has more Grammys than everyone and never won Album of The Year; so even by your own metrics, that doesn’t work. Think about that: the most Grammys, never won Album of The Year, that doesn’t work.”
In a glowing five-star review of ‘Cowboy Carter’, NME shared: “In the age of stan culture, sceptics will argue that objective criticism of Beyoncé can feel hard to come by. Those who don’t already love country may find some of ‘Cowboy Carter’s balladeering sections to be a little long, or query whether an artist of Beyoncé’s stature is invoking certain ironies when she rallies her audience to “stand for something”, given her own relative quiet on recent political affairs.
“But even if interpreted only on the grounds of artistic spectacle, it’s an undeniable thrill to see her swing so big on a project that dares her to be so intimate and vocal-focused, while making way for country’s up-and-comers too.”
In other news, Pamela Anderson recently praised the singer after the musician paid homage to Anderson and the various characters she has portrayed in films and shows such as Baywatch and Barb Wire in a new video.
