In some ways, the 66th Grammy nominations align with expectations. After the critical and commercial success of her album “SOS,” SZA leads the way with 9 total nods at this year’s show. Other critical\/commercial favorites like Boygenius (6 nominations, plus an additional solo nod for Phoebe Bridgers), Jack Anotonoff (6), Taylor Swift (6), Olivia Rodrigo (6), Miley Cyrus (6), and Billie Eilish (6) also received plenty of love — including pivotal general field nominations.<\/p>\n
There were, however, some surprises. Despite enjoying chart success and a heaping of critical acclaim, Victoria Mon\u00e9t was generally absent from many so-called expert “predictions.” She made those doubters look foolish, earning 7 nominations — including Best New Artist and Song of the Year looks.<\/p>\n
Despite his massive showing (including an Album of the Year win) two years ago, Jon Batiste was also generally absent from prediction pieces. Like Mon\u00e9t, he received seven nods this year, including honors in Album, Song, and Record of the Year.<\/p>\n
Engineer and mixer Serban Ghenea also received 7 nominations this year.<\/p>\n
