Who’ll Win Best New Artist at the Grammys?

At the 2024 Grammys, the breakthrough artist Victoria Monét received a nomination for record of the year, making her the sole contender in the emerging category to compete in one of the Big 3 categories (song, record, and album of the year). This year, Chappell Roan, Shaboozey, and Benson Boone are set to join established artists who have previously been nominated. These newcomers not only stand a chance at being recognized as best new artist, but they’re also up for major awards, with potential nominees including Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and Billie Eilish. Remarkably, Roan and Carpenter are on course to secure bids for the highest accolade: album of the year. This is a similar situation to 2020, where contenders for best new artist included Lizzo, Lil Nas X, and eventual winner Billie Eilish, who went on to win awards in all three major categories (album, song, and record). Could Chappell Roan follow in Eilish’s footsteps? THR provides an overview of the newcomers vying for the 2025 Best New Artist Grammy.
