Even this far ahead of the 2025 Grammys, one thing can be said with virtually no doubt: It won’t be a male artist picking up the album of the year trophy. The bigger question is whether a man has a shot at even getting nominated among the eight slots open. Three albums have been viewed as locks for months: Taylor Swift‘s “The Tortured Poets Department,” Beyoncé‘s “Cowboy Carter” and Billie Eilish‘s “Hit Me Hard and Soft.” And we may just have reached a fourth with Chappell Roan’s “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.” Also in the conversation are Ariana Grande’s “Eternal Sunshine,” Sabrina Carpenter’s “Short N’ Sweet” and Charli XCX's "Brat." Should a shutout turn out to be the case, it would mark a first in Grammy history — although it came close to happening at the 2024 Grammys when Jon Batiste was the only male artist nominated in the album of the year category.
