The nominations highlight a diverse lineup that reflects current trends in American and Canadian music fans’ tastes, spanning pop, soul, R&B, and regional styles that continue to shape the soundscape across North America.
Swift is in the running for several top honors as the national music scene recognizes standout releases from the past year. Notably, Swift’s track Anti-Hero appears among the contenders for best recording of the year. Olivia Rodrigo’s Vampire and SZA’s Kill Bill also received nominations in this high-profile competitive field. This broad slate demonstrates the Grammys’ commitment to highlighting both established stars and rising talents across mainstream and niche genres alike.
Billie Eilish, Victoria Monet, Doja Cat, Jon Batiste, and other influential figures are mentioned as competing in the same broadcast categories, underscoring the ceremony’s emphasis on contemporary artistry and the evolving landscape of production and performance. In North America, these nominations are shaping conversations about the year in music, booking, streaming influence, and the cultural impact of the industry’s latest releases.
Latin categories
In the Latin music divisions, prominent artists such as Peso Pluma and Karol G are among the contenders for the Latin Grammy categories, with fans in Canada and the United States closely following the results. The Latin categories reflect the growing cross-border appeal of Spanish-language music and the increasing visibility of artists who blend regional styles with global pop sensibilities.
Among others, Mexican singer Peso Pluma earned a nomination in the best Mexican regional music album category for Genesis, while Colombian star Karol G is recognized for Mañana Será Bonito. The cross-Atlantic reach of Rauw Alejandro is also evident, with Saturno noted for best Latin album competition, a nod to the expanding influence of Latin pop on the North American music scene.
