Beyonce, Taylor Swift and Adele are among the nominees who will make or break records on Sunday night, as the Grammys 2023 take place.

Six years after Adele's 25 shut out Beyonce's culture-shaking Lemonade, the pop stars will face off again in the main categories.

Beyonce leads the pack with nine chances at Grammys gold, followed by rapper Kendrick Lamar with eight. Adele and fellow balladeer Brandi Carlile scored seven nods each.

The nominations have brought Beyonce's career total to 88, tying her with husband Jay-Z as the most-nominated artist in Grammys history. But she has never won the Best Album award, even though she has won the most Grammys of any female artist, having scooped 28.

Is this the night she wins the top accolade?

Classical conductor Georg Solti, who has 31 Grammys, holds the record for most wins overall. But Beyonce could also break that.

Here's how to stay up to date with all the action.
