Other strong nominations include Cardi B, Janelle Monae, H.E.R., Brandi Carlile, and Kacey Musgraves. While fans won’t find out who the winners of music’s biggest night will be until February 10, when the ceremony airs on CBS, the 2019 Grammy nominations (only those who released music between October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2018 were eligible) were announced on Friday morning, a later date than expected due to the memorial services for [President George H.W. Bush.](http://time.com/4750536/george-h-w-bush-letters-excerpt/) The 61st annual Grammy Awards’ main four categories — Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best New Artist — saw lots of familiar names like Drake and Kendrick Lamar in the nomination pool, but also welcomed some fresh new favorites. While [Taylor Swift’s _Reputation_](http://time.com/4918411/taylor-swift-look-what-you-made-me-do-music-video-references/) would have normally been a strong contender for [the night’s biggest honor, Album of the Year](http://time.com/5112513/grammy/) (she’s been nominated three times and won twice), this year, Swift has been passed over for a nomination in the category, while newcomers like Cardi B look like strong contenders. The nominations brought excitement to many of those under consideration like Bebe Rexha. > [](https://twitter.com/BebeRexha/status/1071064967531692033) See below for the full list of 2019 Grammy nominations so far. ## Album Of The Year INVASION OF PRIVACY Cardi B BY THE WAY, I FORGIVE YOU Brandi Carlile SCORPION Drake H.E.R.
