There are many unknowns in the ads: Will Beyonce and Malone Message receive nominations in country music categories after the success of their enormous albums ‘Cowboy Carter’ and ‘F-1 Trillion’, respectively, even though they are megastars not previously directly associated with the genre?
Willpower Shaboozey’s Does ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’ dominate, the biggest song of the year that combines her country twang with the familiar sample of J Kwon’s 2004 rap hit ‘Tipsy’?
The 2025 Grammy Awards will air on February 2 live on CBS and Paramount+ from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
