Get excited! The 2020 Grammy nominations list dropped on Wednesday morning and, wowza, there’s a lot of talent set to be recognized at the January ceremony. The biggest night of music saw the nominees announced via livestream by Gayle King, Bebe Rexha and Alicia Keys — the latter of whom is taking the helm and hosting the show for the second year in a row.

In news that will surprise literally no one, rapper/singer Lizzo is 100 percent that nominee out in front with a well-deserved eight nods. These include the night’s two biggest categories: Album of the Year (Cuz I Love You), Record of the Year and Song of the Year (both “Truth Hurts”). Other standouts include Billie Eilish who, thanks to her debut When We Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, is the youngest nominee in Grammy history to be nominated in all four major categories. And, well, we can’t leave out Lil Nas X. The endearing rapper made a huge splash this year with his eight-song debut 7, which was pulled by his trap-country collab with country music icon Billy Ray Cyrus.
