On Tuesday, Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, Doja Cat, and more were announced as nominees for the 65th Annual Grammy Awards in 2023.

The official kickoff to the 65th Annual Grammy Awards starts now. On Tuesday (November 15), the Recording Academy announced its full list of nominees for the coveted music awards ceremony, including Pusha T, Kendrick Lamar, and more.
