The 2021 Grammy nominees were first announced in late November with a slew of landmark moments in the rock categories.

This year marks the first time Best Rock Performance has included all women nominees. Phoebe Bridgers, first-time nominee and current Alternative Press cover star for the debut Power Issue: Women Rising, is up against Fiona Apple, Big Thief, HAIM, Brittany Howard and Grace Potter.

Best Metal Performance is also recognizing three women, which is rare for the category. Only White Zombie’s Sean Yseult (1994, 1996, 1997), Nashville Pussy’s Ruyter Suys and Bonnie Buitrago (1999) and Code Orange’s Reba Meyers (2018) have been nominated previously.

This year, Meyers is nominated in the category with Code Orange again as well as first-time nominees Poppy and In This Moment fronted by Maria Brink. Body Count and Power Trip, the latter of which is a posthumous nod for vocalist Riley Gale, round out the rest of the nominations.

Best New Artist is also setting a milestone with a record of three artists nominated who openly identify as LGBTQIA+ including Bridgers, CHIKA and Kaytranada. They’ll be vying for the major category alongside Doja Cat, Megan Thee Stallion, Ingrid Andress, Noah Cyrus and D Smoke.

Elsewhere, Billie Eilish is nominated in four categories including Best Song Written For Visual Media with FINNEAS for “No Time To Die” from the James Bond film of the same name. Eilish’s “everything i wanted” is also up for Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year with FINNEAS as well as Best Pop Solo Performance. Eilish had a historic sweep of the four major categories in 2020. If she wins Record Of The Year again, it will mark the second year in a row, which is a feat that has only been accomplished by Roberta Flack and U2.

Having surprise-released her first alternative album folklore in 2020, Taylor Swift is also up for several awards. Taking her total nominations since 2008 up to 41, the singer is being recognized in Album Of The Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for folklore as well as Song Of The Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for “cardigan.” Swift has also been nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance with Bon Iver for folklore track “exile” as well as Best Song Written For Visual Media with Andrew Lloyd Webber for “Beautiful Ghosts” from Cats.
