Taylor Swift is still living her wildest dreams with the Grammys.
After becoming the first artist to win four Album of the Year gramophones when “Midnights” picked up the top prize in February, the 34-year-old superstar racked up six nods for her latest LP, “The Tortured Poets Department,” when the 2025 Grammy Award nominations were announced last week.
And in doing so, Swift made more history: She became the first woman to be nominated for Album of the Year seven times, breaking a tie she previously held with Barbra Streisand.
The singer credited her legion of Swifties at her Eras Tour stop in Toronto on Thursday night.
“You guys got this album nominated for six Grammys,” she said. “It’s so unbelievable, so thank you.”
Swift showed more love to her fans how they have embraced “The Tortured Poets Department,” which also scored Record and Song of the Year nominations for “Fortnight,” Swift’s collaboration with Post Malone.
“You guys have been so wonderful about getting into this album and really understanding where I was coming from with it and you made it, by far, the biggest debut week I’ve ever had of an album,” she said.
“And you kept that album at No. 1 for nearly four months … Everything that happens is a direct reflection of the passion that you show.”
Swift — who will wrap up her epic Eras Tour in Vancouver on Dec. 8 — concluded, “It’s truly blown my mind.”
“The Tortured Poets Department” will also give Swift a chance to add to her 14 Grammys in the Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance (“Fortnight) and Best Music Video (“Fortnight”) categories. And the LP takes her to a whopping 58 career nominations.
But that still leaves Swift far behind another pop diva, Beyoncé, who became the most-nominated list in Grammy history with 99 nods. This is, of course, after she already became the biggest Grammy winner of all time with her 32nd gramophone in 2023.
Beyoncé leads the list of the 2025 nominees with 11 nods for “Cowboy Carter,” which will go up against “The Tortured Poets Department” for Album of the Year, while Bey’s “Texas Hold ’Em” faces off against “Fortnight” for Record and Song of the Year.
Charli XCX, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar and Post Malone are second with seven nominations apiece, while Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan are tied with Swift at six.
The 67th annual Grammy Awards will take place on Feb. 2 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
