The 2021 GRAMMY Awards nominees were announced today (November 24).

Beyoncé leads with nine nominations this year, becoming the second-most nominated act in the history of the awards show with 79 nominations total. She is currently tied with Paul McCartney, who earned a nomination this year for best boxed or special limited edition package.

Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa and Roddy Ricch, who each earned six nominations, follow Beyoncé as the second-most nominated acts.

Also worth noting is BTS' first ever GRAMMY nomination for Best Pop/Duo Group Performance. They are the first Korean pop group to break into a major GRAMMYs category.

Just hours before unveiling this 2021 nominees, the Recording Academy announced that Trevor Noah will be hosting the show. Noah was nominated for his first GRAMMY last year for his standup special Trevor Noah: Son of Patricia.

The 63rd GRAMMY Awards will be broadcast Sunday, January 31 at 8pm ET/5 pm PT on CBS.
