A full list of 2023 Grammy nominees was revealed on Tuesday (Nov. 15), with Dan + Shay on hand to help share the news via the Recording Academy’s livestream announcement from the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles.

Brandi Carlile earned seven nominations for her acclaimed album In These Silent Days, including Best Americana Album and Record of the Year for “You and Me on the Rock,” her collaboration with Lucius.

For the first time in his career, Zach Bryan earned a Grammy nomination for his breakout song “Something in the Orange,” which is up for Best Country Solo Performance against Maren Morris, Kelsea Ballerini, Miranda Lambert and Willie Nelson.

Lambert is up for three additional awards, including Best Country Album for Palomino and Best Country Duo/Group Performance for “Outrunnin’ Your Memory,” her collaboration with Luke Combs.

Morris’ Humble Quest also earned a nomination for Best Country Album, while the record’s lead single, “Circles Around This Town,” is up for Best Country Song.

Bluegrass talent Molly Tuttle also has plenty to celebrate with this morning’s announcements. Her record Crooked Tree earned her a nomination for Best Bluegrass Album along with a spot in the Grammys’ coveted all-genre Best New Artist category.

This year’s nominations included the debut of multiple categories and awards, including the all-genre Songwriter of the Year award. Accomplished songwriter Laura Veltz, who has penned tracks for Maren Morris, Jimmie Allen, Ryan Hurd and Mickey Guyton, earned a nomination for that honor.
