The nominations have been announced for the 66th Grammy Awards, and SZA tops the list with nods in nine categories. 

Phoebe Bridgers, Serban Ghenea and Victoria Monét earned seven nominations each, while Jack Antonoff, Jon Batiste, boygenius, Brandy Clark, Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift are nominated for six.

The Grammy Awards will return to Los Angeles' Crypto.com Arena on Sunday, Feb. 4, 2024, with the show airing live on the CBS Television Network and streaming on Paramount+ at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT. 

"We are thrilled to kick off GRAMMY season with this year's diverse and genre-bending slate of nominees, representing the best of their craft and an incredible year of music," Harvey Mason Jr., CEO of the Recording Academy, said in a statement. "From breakthrough acts to legacy artists, we are amazed by all the musicians recognized for their outstanding contributions to music today. We can't wait to spotlight these remarkable creators and celebrate another amazing year in music on Feb. 4."

This year's awards include three new categories: Best African Music Performance, Best Alternative Jazz Album and Best Pop Dance Recording. 

"The most important of these three is probably African Music Performance," Joe Levy, contributing editor at Rolling Stone and entertainment editor at Observer, told CBS News. "The Grammys are looking to acknowledge the ways in which African music and African recording artists have been just growing globally and achieving huge commercial success in the U.S."

Levy also pointed out that in the competition for Album of the Year, all but one of the nominees are women.
