Phoebe Bridgers and Victoria Monet came next with seven nods each, then Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Brandy Clark John Batiste and Jack Antonoff with six each.

The “Used to Be Young” singer also shared her excitement about this year’s Grammy nominations giving female artists their … well … flowers. “Congratulations to all of this [year’s] Grammy nominees. Watching women win & rule the music industry makes me proud,” Cyrus tweeted after the nominations were announced. “It’s fun to be nominated & exciting to win but having my music be LOVED around the world is the real trophy.”

The Academy’s CEO also shared his thoughts on top nominee, SZA, and how she’s impressed with her talent. “It’s really spectacular. She obviously had a banner year.
