Grammy Awards 2023: Here Are All the Nominees

Today is not just Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour presale day, it’s also the day the Recording Academy announces the nominees for the Grammy Awards 2023.

Last year, Olivia Rodrigo won big at the Grammys, taking home the coveted best new artist award after her debut studio album took over all our lives. “Driver’s License” scored the singer the award for best pop solo performance, while SOUR was awarded the best pop vocal album.

Meanwhile, “Kiss Me More” singer Doja Cat almost missed her win for best pop duo with SZA thanks to an ill-timed bathroom break. “I have never taken such a fast piss in my whole life,” she told the audience, adding, “SZA, you are everything to me. You are incredible. You are the epitome of talent, you’re a lyricist, you are everything.”

This year, Billboard reported that 368 artists have submitted to the best new artist category for the 2023 Grammy nominations, while 11-time Grammy Award winner Taylor Swift is back on the award show’s radar for Red (Taylor’s Version) and her All Too Well: The Short Film (Midnights fans will have to wait until next year). Of course, she has some stiff competition between “Easy on Me” singer Adele, “About Damn Time” singer Lizzo, and “As It Was” crooner Harry Styles. Not to mention Beyoncé, who dropped Renaissance in July…

Without further ado, here are the 2023 Grammy Award nominees.
