The 2022 Grammy Nominations have been announced. Stars from Justin Bieber to Doja Cat are nominated for music’s most prestigious award. This year’s list looks very interesting.

A lot of changes have been made by the Recording Academy since the 2021 Grammys ceremony. The Recording Academy updated its book of rules and guidelines to ban sales figures and chart numbers from being mentioned in “For Your Consideration” ads. The ceremony is also being produced with an inclusion rider for the first time after expanding its voting pool to include more voters from “traditionally underrepresented groups.”

Taylor Swift revealed that she would not submit Fearless ( Taylor’s Version) for consideration. Instead, she chose to focus on her campaign for Evermore.

Last year, Beyoncé set a new record for most Grammys held by a female artist with her Best R&B Performance win for Black Parade. It remains to be seen if there are any record-breaking wins this year.
