Grammy nominees announced: See who will be competing for the gramophone

Who will be competing for the 62nd annual Grammy awards?

The nominees were announced Wednesday morning.

Singer/rapper Lizzo leads the pack with eight nominations, including Best Pop Solo Performance, Best R&B Performance, Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best New Artist.

She will have some competition since Beyoncé and Taylor Swift are once again nominees in the female-dominated category of Best Pop Solo Performance, The Associated Press reported.

Billie Eilish and Lil Nas X both earned six nominations each, the AP reported.

Eilish, who is 17, is the youngest artist to get nominations in the top four categories of Best Pop Solo Performance, Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best New Artist.
