The 67th Annual Grammy Awards have officially announced their nominees, with the “Best New Artist” category drawing particular attention. So, who will win Best New Artist at the 2025 Grammys—Sabrina Carpenter or Chappell Roan?
Sabrina Carpenter: A Breakout Year in 2024
Sabrina Carpenter has had a breakout year in 2024 with a series of hits like Espresso, Please Please Please, and Taste. Her album Short n’ Sweet received enthusiastic praise from both fans and critics. Sabrina’s music consistently topped charts and won major music awards. Despite having been in the industry for over 10 years, she is still eligible for the Best New Artist nomination at the 2025 Grammys. Her chances of winning in this category are a 50/50.
Chappell Roan: A Rising Star
Before 2024, Chappell Roan was still relatively unknown in the Western music scene, even though she had been active since 2017. However, after opening for Olivia Rodrigo’s GUTS World Tour, she gained widespread attention and released the track Good Luck, Babe!, which quickly garnered over 900 million Spotify streams. Her album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess (2023) received critical acclaim and made a significant impact on the Billboard 200 charts. After winning Best New Artist at the 2024 VMAs, will Chappell Roan be able to surpass Sabrina Carpenter to claim victory at the 2025 Grammys?
Other Nominees in the Best New Artist Category
Besides Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan, Benson Boone, with his hit song Beautiful Things, has become a rare young male artist to rise in 2024. This track has achieved over 1.5 billion Spotify streams, securing his nomination for Best New Artist at the 2025 Grammys. Raye, a rising star from the UK, is also a strong contender after a record-breaking win at the 2024 BRIT Awards, where she took home 6 awards out of 7 nominations.
Other Notable Names: Doechii, Khruangbin, Shaboozey, and Teddy Swims
Other nominees in the Best New Artist category for the 2025 Grammys include Doechii, Khruangbin, Shaboozey, and Teddy Swims.
The Missed Opportunity: Tyla
One name that caused some disappointment by not appearing in the Best New Artist nominations at the 2025 Grammys is Tyla. With her hit Water, Tyla took the music world by storm with her unique sound, but she may not have perfected her songwriting yet, as some of her tracks lack smooth lyrics. Despite this, her absence from the Grammy nominations left many puzzled.
So, will Sabrina Carpenter or Chappell Roan win Best New Artist at the 2025 Grammys? Both have strong cases, but only one will take home the prestigious Grammy award.
