Full List of Country Nominees + More

Nominations for the 2025 Grammy Awards are here, and several superstars, regulars and country hitmakers are included.

More than one newcomer earned a nod in important Grammy categories, as well.

Shaboozey was the early leader in country categories, but songs from Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter album also did well. Both are nominated in all-genre categories, too.

Kacey Musgraves is another artist who scored multiple nominations during the Grammy nominations livestream.

Who Has the Most Grammy Nominations?

Overall, Beyonce leads all artists with 11 Grammy nominations in 2025. Post Malone is one of four artists with seven, and Shaboozey has five.

In the country categories, Beyonce leads with four nominations, followed by Post Malone with three. Several other artists (Chris Stapleton, Kacey Musgraves, Morgan Wallen) can be found in two country categories.

Chris Stapleton and Lainey Wilson were country music’s big winners at last year’s Grammy Awards. While the “White Horse” singer didn’t drop a new project in 2024, Wilson did. Her Whirlwind album came just before the end of the Grammy eligibility period, Sept. 16, 2023 to Aug. 30, 2024.
