Taylor Swift, along with newcomers Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan, each received six nominations.
Swift’s nomination for The Tortured Poets Department adds to her record-breaking success in the Album of the Year category, where she has won four times.
This year, she also sets a record with seven career nominations in this category, the most for any female artist.
