Jimmy Carter Becomes The Oldest Person Nominated For A Grammy At 100 Years Old

Former President Jimmy Carter just got his 10th Grammy nomination! Yes, you read that right—this peanut-farming, house-building, centenarian wonder is up for another golden gramophone at the 2025 Grammy Awards. And not for a TikTok bop or a collab with Taylor Swift, but for his spoken-word album titled Last Sunday in Plains: A Centennial Celebration. Apparently, age is nothing but a number—especially when it gets you Grammy nods.

The Carter Center shared the big news on Twitter/X, probably with a virtual fist-pump and a shout of, “What an honor!” And it really is. Not only has Jimmy managed to live through 100 years of history, but he’s managed to land Grammy nominations in his retirement hobby of “storytelling like your grandpa on a Sunday afternoon.”

The album is an actual recording of President Carter’s Sunday school lessons from his hometown church in Plains, Georgia. Imagine sitting in the pews of Maranatha Baptist Church as Jimmy reads Bible stories with the kind of Southern drawl and gravitas that practically blesses your breakfast toast. And now, thanks to this nomination, we might all get to experience that old-school charm on streaming platforms.

But here’s the kicker: at 100, Carter’s breaking records as the oldest Grammy nominee ever. The title of oldest Grammy winner still belongs to the late blues pianist Pinetop Perkins, who won at the tender age of 97 back in 2011. But let’s be honest—Jimmy’s got this, right? After all, he’s already taken home the Grammy three times! He won Best Spoken Word Album in 2006, 2015, and 2018. So if anyone’s going to be the music industry’s newest centenarian champ, it’s the man with a resume that makes you wonder, “Does this guy ever nap?”

And in case you’re still wrapping your head around this whole thing, remember: the Grammys have given us wild surprises before, but few quite like the man with a lifetime of stories, a bucketful of wisdom, and a shiny chance at Grammy history. Go on, Jimmy—show ‘em that even at 100, you’re still got the hottest mic in town.
