2025 Grammys Predictions: Who Will Win Music's Biggest Awards?

Advertisement

The 2025 Grammy nominations have sparked excitement and debate. With Beyoncé leading the pack with 11 nominations, including Record, Song, and Album of the Year for Cowboy Carter, the question on everyone’s mind is whether she will finally win Album of the Year. Other top contenders include Billie Eilish, Post Malone, Charli XCX, Kendrick Lamar, Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, and Chappell Roan. Let’s break down the top categories and make some predictions.

Best New Artist: A Tight Race

The Best New Artist category features a talented group of nominees:

  • Benson Boone
  • Chappell Roan
  • Doechii
  • Khruangbin
  • Raye
  • Sabrina Carpenter
  • Shaboozey
  • Teddy Swims

While all nominees have achieved significant success, the race likely comes down to Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan. Both artists dominated headlines in 2024 with hits like “Espresso” and “Good Luck, Babe!” respectively. Although both have been in the industry for some time, Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess is her first album, giving her a slight edge in the “new” category. Her blend of artistry and commercial appeal, combined with her relatable personality, makes her a strong contender.

Song of the Year: Billie Eilish’s Third Win?

The nominees for Song of the Year are:

  • Beyoncé – “Texas Hold ‘Em”
  • Billie Eilish – “Birds of a Feather”
  • Chappell Roan – “Good Luck, Babe!”
  • Kendrick Lamar – “Not Like Us”
  • Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars – “Die With a Smile”
  • Sabrina Carpenter – “Please Please Please”
  • Shaboozey – “A Bar Song (Tipsy)”
  • Taylor Swift feat. Post Malone – “Fortnight”

While several strong contenders exist, Billie Eilish seems poised to win her third Song of the Year award. “Birds of a Feather” possesses the qualities Grammy voters often favor: catchy, well-produced, and emotionally resonant. Despite the chart success of “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” and the critical acclaim of “Not Like Us,” Eilish’s track has a broad appeal that could resonate with voters.

Album of the Year: Will Beyoncé Finally Win?

The Album of the Year nominees are:

  • André 3000New Blue Sun
  • BeyoncéCowboy Carter
  • Billie EilishHit Me Hard and Soft
  • Chappell RoanThe Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess
  • Charli XCXBrat
  • Jacob CollierDjesse Vol. 4
  • Sabrina CarpenterShort n’ Sweet
  • Taylor SwiftThe Tortured Poets Department

This category presents a tough choice. Charli XCX’s Brat was a cultural phenomenon, but dance albums rarely win this award. Beyoncé is a strong contender, and a win for Cowboy Carter could be seen as a lifetime achievement award. However, Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft strikes a balance between experimentation and accessibility, making it a likely favorite among voters.

Record of the Year: A Battle of Icons

The nominees for Record of the Year are:

  • The Beatles – “Now and Then”
  • Beyoncé – “Texas Hold ‘Em”
  • Billie Eilish – “Birds of a Feather”
  • Chappell Roan – “Good Luck, Babe!”
  • Charli XCX – “360”
  • Kendrick Lamar – “Not Like Us”
  • Sabrina Carpenter – “Espresso”
  • Taylor Swift feat. Post Malone – “Fortnight”

This category is particularly competitive. While “Texas Hold ‘Em” is a strong track, it might not be Beyoncé’s most impactful. “360” and “Fortnight” might not be flashy enough for voters. “Not Like Us” has strong elements but its subject matter might be a barrier. While Chappell Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe!” is a fresh and exciting track, The Beatles’ “Now and Then,” a restored John Lennon demo with contributions from surviving members, presents a compelling narrative and timeless sound. This could be the perfect opportunity for the Academy to finally award the Fab Four this prize.

The 2025 Grammys will air live on Feb. 2.
