Beyonce, Taylor Swift and Dua Lipa sweep Grammys 2021 nominations

Taylor Swift, Beyonce and Dua Lipa have dominated the 2021 Grammy nods.

GRAMMYs 2021: Divas set to dominate music's biggest event

The 2021 Grammy nominations are here, and Taylor Swift’s surprise isolation album Folklore and Beyonce’s Black is King musical film have dominated the space.

The nominees were announced in an hour-long livestream Tuesday by chair and interim Recording Academy President/CEO Harvey Mason Jr. along with past Grammy winners and nominees remotely from all over the country.

The show, which will be held on Sunday, January 31, will be hosted by The Daily Show’s Trevor Noah, the academy announced Tuesday.

The format is still in the works, but fans could expect it to be a digital experience like most awards shows this past year as the coronavirus impacts the entire country.

“We are simultaneously developing three plans for what the show would look like: One is the traditional show with the full crowd, two is a limited crowd, and three is no crowd, and there’s creative around all three of those ideas: how and where we would film it. But none of them involve changing or postponing the date,” Mason said in August.

Here are a selection of the nominees for the 63rd Grammy Awards:
