R&B singer-songwriter SZA leads the pack of nominees for the 66th annual Grammy Awards, with nine nods, the Recording Academy announced Friday. Her sophomore album, SOS, is a contender for album of the year, with her hit "Kill Bill" up for record and song of the year.

SZA's competition in those categories includes pop stars Miley Cyrus ("Flowers"), Olivia Rodrigo ("Vampire"), Taylor Swift ("Anti-Hero"), Billie Eilish ("What Was I Made For?") and singer-musician-composer Jon Batiste ("Worship" in record of the year and "Butterfly" in song of the year). They each racked up six nominations — Cyrus, Rodrigo, Swift and Batiste are all nominated in album, song and record of the year categories.

Among the other top nominees announced by The Recording Academy are the indie rock star Phoebe Bridgers, who received several nominations with her group boygenius as well as one for a collaboration with SZA, as well as R&B singer and songwriter Victoria Monet and audio engineer and mixer Serban Ghenea, who each received seven nominations. In addition, producer Jack Antonoff, country singer Brandy Clark and boygenius (the supergroup trio of Bridgers, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker) earned six nominations each.

Billie Eilish, who swept the four general categories in 2020 following the release of her debut album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, also received six nominations, five of them for her song from the soundtrack to the summer's megahit Barbie movie, "What Was I Made For."

"From breakthrough acts to legacy artists, we are amazed by all the musicians recognized for their outstanding contributions to music today," Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. said in a statement. The awards will be held at the Crytpo.com Arena in Los Angeles on Feb. 4, 2024.
