Drumroll, please… The 2024 Grammy nominations are out, and it’s the female performers who dominate. Leading the pack is US R&B/pop/rap star SZA, who scored 9 nominations – the most overall – for her album SOS. She’s up for record of the year against the likes of Billie Eilish, boygenius, Miley Cyrus, Olivia Rodrigo, and Victoria Monét. And it wouldn’t be a music awards show without Taylor Swift – she’s nominated in 6 categories, including all the big ones. She’s become the first songwriter to score 7 nominations for song of the year – this time with Anti-Hero. That’s seen her break Lionel Ritchie and Paul McCartney’s tied record… Not that McCartney would mind – he and Beatles bandmate Ringo Starr are busy enjoying the band’s single Now and Then hitting #1 on the UK charts.
