The nominations, announced on November 10, 2023, were led by SZA with nine nominations, followed by Victoria Monét, Phoebe Bridgers, and Serban Ghenea with seven nominations each. Monét's two-year-old daughter, Hazel, became the youngest nominee in Grammy history.

While accepting Best Pop Vocal Album for Midnights, Swift announced her album The Tortured Poets Department.
Phoebe Bridgers was the night's biggest winner with four awards, earning three as part of Boygenius for Best Rock Performance, Best Rock Song, and Best Alternative Music Album, as well as Best Pop Duo/Group Performance with SZA for Ghost in the Machine. SZA, Victoria Monét, and Killer Mike each received three awards.
