Tate McRae Cannot Be Nominated For Best New Artist At The Grammys – Find Out Why

The Grammy rulebook has spoken, and Tate McRae is officially too hot to handle for the Best New Artist category at the 2025 Grammys. Yes, you read that right. Our almost 21-year-old pop sensation has hit so many high notes this year that the Grammy gods have politely shown her the exit for Best New Artist.

You see, Tate’s had a year that can only be described as “on fire.” Her hit single “Greedy” didn’t just make waves; it caused a global tsunami, becoming her biggest Spotify debut and rocketing to No. 1 on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts. And if that wasn’t enough to make you spit out your coffee, it also peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100! Talk about world domination.

So, why on earth isn’t she eligible for Best New Artist? Well, gather ’round for a tale of Grammy rulebook lore. According to the sacred scrolls of Grammy regulations, “While there will be no specified maximum number of releases, the Screening Committee will be charged with determining whether the artist had attained a breakthrough or prominence prior to the eligibility year. Such a determination would result in disqualification.”

Translation: If youโ€™ve already made waves in the music world, no soup for you! And Tate, our chart-topping darling, has been on the committeeโ€™s radar for quite some time. In fact, sheโ€™s been submitted for Best New Artist not once, not twice, but thrice! And in Grammy land, three strikes mean you’re out, even if you didnโ€™t snag a nomination.

But donโ€™t you fret for our dear Tate. Sheโ€™s got plenty of other Grammy categories to conquer. We’re talking Record of the Year, Best Pop Solo Performance, Song of the Year โ€“ the list goes on. So, while she may be too seasoned for Best New Artist, there’s no shortage of shiny trophies in her future.

Letโ€™s give a shout-out to Tate’s Canadian roots. Last year, she snagged several Juno Award nominations (think Grammys with a maple leaf), and this year she bagged the Juno Awards for Artist of the Year and Song of the Year for โ€œGreedy.โ€ Canada knows whatโ€™s up.

Tate McRae: still fabulous, still winning, just not Best New Artist. But who needs that title when you’re already ruling the charts?
