Taylor Swift ahead of Sunday’s Grammys, when the megastar could break the record for most Album of the Year wins at a gala where women finally are taking center stage.
SZA will arrive at the star-studded event in Los Angeles as the evening’s top nominee with nine, while Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, and Miley Cyrus are also in the running for the show’s top prizes.
With her sophomore album “SOS,” SZA explored an eclectic blend of styles and genre including pop, rock and jazz, with dreamy electro inflections that scored her the most nominations of any artist.
And Supergroup Boygenius — Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, and Lucy Dacus — are up for six Grammys.
The trio met as up-and-comers in the indie music scene and, tired of constant comparisons to each other as “women in rock,” decided to collaborate while also continuing to produce solo work.
Bridgers has a seventh nomination for her collaboration with SZA.
Janelle Monae and Lana Del Rey are in the mix for Album of the Year, while Victoria Monet is a contender for Record of the Year.
So it’s highly likely a female act will win the top awards — unless Grammy darling Jon Batiste does.
The piano virtuoso is the sole man up for the two major prizes, two years after he bested pop royalty to dominate the proceedings.
