The nominations were announced on November 10, 2023; SZA received the most nominations with nine, followed by Victoria Monét, Phoebe Bridgers (solo and as part of boygenius), and Serban Ghenea with seven each.[3] Monét's 2-year-old daughter, Hazel, became the youngest nominee in Grammy Awards history; she was a featured artist on her mother's song "Hollywood", which was nominated for Best Traditional R&B Performance.[4]


Bridgers was the night's biggest winner, receiving four awards: Three as part of Boygenius (Best Rock Song, Best Rock Performance, and Best Alternative Music Album), and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance alongside SZA. SZA, Monét, and Killer Mike received three awards each. Taylor Swift made history as the first artist to win Album of the Year four times, and engineer Serban Ghenea extended his record with a fifth award in the category as well.[5] The South African singer Tyla was the winner of the inaugural Best African Performance award.[6]


In the big four categories, Swift's Midnights won the aforementioned Album of the Year prize; Miley Cyrus's "Flowers" won Record of the Year; Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas won Song of the Year for "What Was I Made For?" (from the soundtrack of Barbie); and Victoria Monét took home Best New Artist.

Three new categories – , Best Alternative Jazz Album and Best Pop Dance Recording – were added. There are 94 categories total.

Best African Music Performance

Two categories, and Songwriter of the Year, Non-Classical, were moved to the General Field and can now be voted on by the entire Grammy voting membership.

Producer of the Year, Non-Classical

The number of nominees in the "Big Four" General Field categories (, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist) was reduced again from ten to eight.

Album of the Year

In order to qualify as a nominee on a project nominated for Album of the Year, the credited [lead] artists, featured artists, songwriters, producers, engineers, mixers and mastering engineers must play on a total of 20% of an album's playing time.
