“Far from dominating, their position in the awards overall is in fact peripheral”: Women’s recent supremacy at the Grammys is massively overstated, says new report, as men still claim the majority of nominations and wins

Taylor Swift Grammy Awards.

While the popular narrative has it that women are currently dominating the Grammy Awards, research suggests that this is far from the case.

A new report, The Missing Voices of Women in Music and Music News, says that, while women have achieved significant recent success in the headline categories - last year saw Taylor Swift win Album of the Year, Miley Cyrus win Record of the Year, Billie Eilish scoop Song of the Year and Victoria Monét being named Best New Artist - the reality is that, between 2017 and 2024, women received only one in five of the Grammy nominations and wins.
