The 68th Grammy Awards won’t take place until February of next year, but the full list of nominees was announced on Friday morning.

The nominations were revealed by a star-studded group of past winners — including Sabrina Carpenter, Doechii, Lizzo, Chappell Roan, and Sam Smith — in a ceremony streamed live on the Academy’s website.

So who’s in the best position to take home a load of golden gramophones?

Scroll on for the full list of the nominees in the major categories!

Some items of note: Kendrick Lamar received the most nominations, with Lady Gaga following close behind.

And beloved influencer Addison Rae proved that she’s the real deal as a singer, scoring a nom for Best New Artist.

Also, don’t worry, Swifties: Taylor Swift was not snubbed by the Academy. The Life of a Showgirl was not released ahead of this year’s deadline. We’re sure she’ll clean up in 2027.

And with that, on to the nominees!
