Taylor Swift received seven major nominations at the 2016 Grammy Awards.

The "country music princess" didn't lead in the number of nominations, but she was nominated in the most important categories such as "Album of the Year" and "Song of the Year".

In 2015, Taylor Swift released the album 1989, featuring the hit song Blank Space. This musical release earned the "Country Music Princess" seven nominations at the 2016 Grammy Awards, most notably for "Album of the Year," "Record of the Year," and "Song of the Year."

Taylor Swift received seven Grammy nominations in 2016.

Other categories in which Taylor Swift was named include "Best Pop Album", "Best Pop Performance", "Best Pop Collaboration Performance" (Bad Blood featuring Kendrick Lamar), and "Best Music Video".

This year, rapper Kendrick Lamar is making a strong impression, leading with 11 nominations across various categories. The 28-year-old is competing with Taylor Swift for "Album of the Year" and "Song of the Year." Kendrick Lamar released his album "To Pimp A Butterfly" this year, which includes the hit song "Allegiance."

Adele's new album, 25, was not included in the nominations list because it was released in November, which is not eligible for the award.

The Grammy Awards ceremony will take place on February 25th in Los Angeles, USA.
