Will Beyoncé or Chappell Roan Win Big at the Grammys? Our Predictions.-OxBig News Network

The 2025 Grammy Awards are on Sunday, and the nominations capture a pop music universe perhaps experiencing metamorphosis.

Beyoncé has the most nods, 11 — no surprise there, as she is the most awarded artist in Grammys history. Charli XCX and Post Malone have eight nominations each; Billie Eilish and Kendrick Lamar have seven; Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter and Taylor Swift each have six.

That is a mix of Grammy favorites and young upstarts, which means this year’s ceremony might end up as a changing of the guard, or an implicit rebuke of inevitable change.

On this week’s Popcast, a conversation about whether the Grammys have finally aligned themselves with the cultural moment, how they’re likely to deal with the ascendancy of Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter, and whether this will be the year that Beyoncé finally takes home the prize for album of the year.
