First-Time Grammy Nominees Include Chappell Roan, Waxahatchee, Knocked Loose, & More

The nominations for the 2025 Grammys have been announced. While Beyoncé became the most-nominated artist in the history of the award show, some musicians are getting their first nods this year, such as Chappell Roan, Waxahatchee, and Knocked Loose.

Chappell Roan is nominated for Best New Artist, Record Of The Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for “Good Luck, Babe!,” and Best Pop Vocal Album for her 2023 debut The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess. Meanwhile, Waxahatchee’s Tigers Blood is nominated for Best Americana Album. On the other hand, the longtime heavy crew Knocked Loose were nominated for Best Metal Performance for their Poppy collab “Suffocate.”

Sabrina Carpenter also got her first nods. The pop star is nominated for Best New Artist, Record Of The Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for “Espresso,” and Best Pop Vocal Album for Short n’ Sweet.

Charli XCX’s “Von dutch” remix featuring Addison Rae is nominated for Best Remixed Recording, but that award would go to A. G. Cook and not the “Diet Pepsi” singer sadly. 90 Day Men’s We Blame Chicago was nominated for Best Boxed Or Special Limited Edition Package, but that goes to the art directors.
