The Beatles were nominated for the 2025 Grammy Awards. The band is being recognized, in the Record of the Year category, for their latest song, 'Now and Then'. The Beatles will compete in the category with Taylor Swift, Post Malone, Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, Charli XCX, Kendrick Lamar and Sabrina Carpenter. See all the 2025 Grammy nominees here.
The surviving members of The Beatles – Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr – used artificial intelligence technology to turn a John Lennon demo into “Now and then”. The track also features the other late Beatles member, guitarist George Harrison, who worked on it in the 1990s with McCartney and Starr. The Beatles never won a Grammy Award for Record of the Year.
The 2025 Grammy Awards are set to be broadcast live on Sunday, February 2, 2025, from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Catch up on all of Pitchfork's coverage of the 2025 Grammy Awards and revisit “Who Should Be Nominated at the 2025 Grammy Awards” on Pitch.
