The 65th Grammy Award nominations highlighted the best musicians in the business, with Beyoncé earning the most nods at nine. Other notable nominees included Adele and Lizzo.

The nominations for the 65th Grammy Awards are out and Beyoncé landed on top with nine nominations.

Beyoncé earned both record and song of the year nominations for her hit "Break My Soul," while her album, "Renaissance," garnered the coveted album of the year nomination. Her husband, Jay-Z, also got five nods this year, making the spouses tied for most-nominated artist of all time, with 88 nods each.

Nearly half of this year’s leading nominees are women and more than half are people of color, according to the recording academy. 

Lizzo and Adele are nominated in both the record and song of the year category along with Beyoncé, Lizzo for her massive hit "About Damn Time," and Adele for her song "Easy On Me." Their albums "Special" and "30," respectively, both received a nomination for album of the year.

Harry Styles was similarly successful, with his song "As It Was" being nominated for both record and song of the year, and his album "Harry's House" getting the album of the year nod.

Swift, who re-recorded her music and released the album "Red (Taylor's Version)," was nominated for a total of five awards. 

The 32-year-old, who has 11 Grammys and 42 total nominations, was also celebrated for her work on the movie "Where The Crawdads Sing." Her song "Carolina" received a nod for best song written for visual media.
