2025 Grammy nominees Taylor Swift, Beatles go head-to-head for record of the year

The Beatles, Taylor Swift and Beyoncé will face off at the 2025 Grammy Awards.

On Friday, the Recording Academy announced the complete list of Grammy nominations, with the Beatles earning their first nomination since 1997 for their latest song, “Now and Then.” The Fab Four were also nominated for Best Rock Performance for the song.

The Beatles' last new song of AI-powered “Now and then” was released in 2023. The song used artificial intelligence to extract John Lennon's voice from an old demo. This is the same technique used to separate the Beatles' voices from background sounds during the production of Peter Jackson's 2021 documentary series, The Beatles: Get Back.

After the release of “Cowboy Carter,” Beyoncé received the most nominations of the year, leading the way with 11 nominations. Swift had been nominated six times prior to the show.
