It’s 2024, and Taylor Swift is competing against The Beatles for the Grammy Record of the Year.
That was just one surprise from the 67th annual Grammy Awards nominations, revealed live online Nov. 8. The Record of the Year category pits Taylor and Post Malone‘s “Fortnite” against The Beatles’ “final” single, “Now and Then,” which was created by melding old recordings of the late John Lennon and George Harrison with new contributions from Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.
Other Record of the Year nominees are Beyoncé‘s “Texas Hold ‘Em,” Sabrina Carpenter‘s “Espresso,” Charli XCX‘s “360,” Billie Eilish‘s “Birds of a Feather,” Kendrick Lamar‘s “Not Like Us” and Chappell Roan‘s “Good Luck, Babe!”
As you can tell by that list, it’s going to be girls night at the Grammys, since Beyoncé is the lead nominee with 11 nods overall, followed by Charli XCX and Billie Eilish with seven and Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan and Taylor Swift with six. Representing for the men, it’s Kendrick and Post Malone, each with seven.
The Grammys air live from LA on Feb. 2 on CBS and will stream live on Paramount+.
