Taylor Swift has broken a Grammys record with her latest nomination for song of the year, making her the first songwriter to score seven nominations in the category. 

Swift is nominated in the album and record of the year categories alongside Olivia Rodrigo, Miley Cyrus, and SZA. 

Other nominees include Lana Del Rey, Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, Jon Batiste, and SZA. 

Swift’s album of the year nod for Midnights is her sixth nomination, tying her with Barbra Streisand for the most nominations for a female artist. 

If she wins, she will become the first artist to win album of the year four times.

New rules have made it harder for artists to make the Grammys shortlist this year, with the number of nominations available in each category reduced from 10 to eight. 

The Grammy Awards take place on February 4 in Los Angeles, with hosts yet to be announced. British dance and electronic producer Fred Again is among the nominees for best new artist, alongside Gracie Abrams, Ice Spice, Jelly Roll, Coco Jones, Noah Kahan, Victoria Monet, and War and Treaty. 

US rapper and singer Jelly Roll might have been around since 2005 – but he scored a breakout single earlier this year with Need A Favor.

If the 38-year-old wins the award he will become the oldest person to be named best new artist – Sheryl Crow currently holds the record after picking it up aged 33.
