2023 was a great year for out and proud bisexuals+, and the Bicons in the mainstream music industry were no exception! At the 2024 Grammys, bi+ musicians are staking their claims in some of the ceremony’s most prominent categories like Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist. All are women aside from David Bowie, who is nominated posthumously for the 2022 documentary, Moonage Daydream, with past winners like Billie Eilish, Doja Cat, & Meshell Ndeocello looking to add another gramophone to their respective mountains of accolades. Victoria Monét is leading this year’s charge with 8 nominations, with boygenius & Miley Cyrus following close behind with 7 nominations, all of whom are represented in the Record of the Year category. The Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category actually features a majority of bi+ artists, with 4 out of the 5 nominees featuring at least one bi+ artist. Check out our full list of bi+ nominees below.
