With her 11 Grammy nominations for Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé just became the most nominated artist in Grammy history. The question is, will she finally break her top category curse and win Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year? She's got some fierce competition.
In all those categories, she's up against a mix of Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, Charli XCX, Lady Gaga, and newcomers Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan. She's also up against an unlikely group: The Beatles for the song "Now and Then." (It was initially a demo John Lennon made before he died. His widow, Yoko Ono, gave the track to the remaining members of the band. With a mix of technology and existing vocals, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison were able to appear on the track.)
The thing I love most about Beyoncé's nominations is that she's also nominated in the country categories. She was famously snubbed by the CMAs.
It's been quite a week, so Beyoncé coming out on top was very much a good way to end this week. For the recap of the week that was, here's my Parting Shot for the week. Note: I will return to your inbox on Wednesday in honor of Veterans Day.

Sharon Horgan has a resume packed with award-winning comedy, but when it came to crafting Bad Sisters (Apple TV+, November 13) she had to find the right balance. That's because "a very difficult subject matter," about Irish sisters who plot to murder the abusive husband of one of the women, had to "sit alongside quite a farce." Adapted from a Belgian series, Horgan took "some of the murders out, and I put more of the sisters in, and more of the effects watching your family member go through this."
"I think you can take chances in the script with where you choose to have a laugh or to release the pressure, or just have something really sort of out-and-out stupid." Now in its second season, even though that husband is out of the way, after the Peabody Award-winning and Emmy-nominated first season, that doesn't mean things have gotten easier for the sisters. "Life just doesn't become hunky-dory, you've got this poison you're still carrying it around." For Horgan, she's particularly proud that she was able to find that delicate balance of tone.
