Malone is tied with Charli XCX, Billie Eilish and Kendrick Lamar for the second-most Grammy nominations this year with seven each. Beyoncé leads them all with 11 nods, surpassing her husband Jay-Z with 99 total nominations — plus she’s already won more Grammys than any other artist in history with 32 trophies, according to Billboard.

“Country” is more than just a steel guitar. It’s a lifestyle. A mindset. A cold beer, hot grill, the game on and the great outdoors. A lifestyle and culture so perfectly captured by the country greats of yesterday, but still alive and well today.

The Grammy nominations will be announced Friday morning, and all eyes are on the country categories. Why it matters: The nominations come at the end of another watershed year for country music, which has a vice grip on popular culture.

It was announced on Thursday that Post and Shaboozey are among the artists who will take the stage at the 2024 Country Music Association Awards, which will be held at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on 20 November.

Beyoncé, Post Malone, Shaboozey and Morgan Wallen are among a dynamic field of 2024 country Grammy nominees for Feb. 2, 2025's Los Angeles ceremony.
