Eilish, who won best original song at the 2024 Golden Globe Awards for “What Was I Made For?” from “Barbie,” is up for a total of six Grammy Awards this year. Five of those awards are for “What Was I Made For?” including record of the year, song of the year, best pop solo performance, best song written for visual media and best music video. She is also up for best pop duo/group performance for her and Labrinth’s “Never Felt So Alone,” which appeared on HBO’s teen drama series, “Euphoria.”
Dua Lipa is also being recognized for her “Barbie” soundtrack single, “Dance The Night,” which was nominated for song of the year and best song written for visual media.

Both Eilish and Rodrigo are among the most-nominated artists on the bill (and, at 22 and 20 respectively, among the youngest) with six nods each while R&B star SZA leads the list with a total of nine nominations. Following SZA, tied with seven nominations apiece, are Victoria Monét, Phoebe Bridgers (six of those for her work with Boygenius, one for a collaboration with SZA) and mixing engineer Serban Ghenea.
