Today (Nov. 10), the full list of nominees for the 2024 Grammy Awards was revealed, and SZA is the leader in a group full of R&B and pop’s biggest female artists. The chart-topping songstress scored a whopping nine nods for her sophomore LP, SOS, and its breakout single, “Kill Bill,” putting her in top categories like Best R&B Performance and Album of the Year.
“It’s really spectacular. She obviously had a banner year,” said Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. about the Top Dawg frontrunner in an interview with Billboard. “Extremely hyper-creative project. She’s extremely talented. The music really resonated with our voters. I’m excited for her.”
Not far behind SZA is Victoria Monét, who earned seven thanks to the critically acclaimed debut LP Jaguar II. The Sacramento star will also go up against the likes of Coco Jones and Ice Spice in the Best New Album category. Other notable women on the list include Janelle Monáe, Doja Cat, Summer Walker, and Coi Leray, the last of whom holds her own against hip hop heavyweights like Drake, 21 Savage, and Kendrick Lamar for Best Rap Performance.
