The 34-year-old star - whose real name is Solana Rowe - received nine nominations in total, including nods in the Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year categories. SZA released her acclaimed album "SOS" back in December 2022, and it features the hit single "Kill Bill", which is among the nominees for the Record of the Year gong.

Taylor, 34, became the first artist in history to receive seven nominations in the prestigious Song of the Year category. The shortlisting of "Anti-Hero" saw Taylor surpass the likes of Sir Paul McCartney and Lionel Richie. The chart-topping star - who released her album "Midnights" in October 2022 - also tied with Barbra Streisand for the most all-time nominations by a female artist.
Organisers of the Grammys amended the rules this year, meaning the overall number of nominees has been reduced. Trevor Noah returns as host for this year's ceremony.
