GEORGIA, USA — The wait is over! The 2025 Grammy nominations are here, with many of your favorite artists landing a shot at adding a new award to their names. 

Georgia showed out on the list, with multiple stars from the Peach State making the list of nominations for their work this year. 

Here are the metro Atlanta stars who were nominated: 

Usher 

Metro Atlanta R&B star Usher has had an incredible year, from performing at the Super Bowl to getting Atlanta's highest award, the Phoenix Award.

He can now add another Grammy nomination to his list for his album "Coming Home," which was released shortly after he performed at the Super Bowl, for Best R&B album. 

Usher's producer, Dernst "D Mile" Emile II, is also listed for the Producer of the Year award for his work on the singer's songs "I Love U" and "One of Them Ones." 

Teddy Swims 

Swims, who is from Conyers, was nominated for Best New Artist. He released his debut album "I've Tried Everything, But Therapy (Part 1)" in 2019. He will release his third studio album, "I've Tried Everything, But Therapy (Part 2)," in January.

Future 

Atlanta rapper Future made the list for his work with Kendrick Lamar and Metro Boomin. He made the list for his song "Like That," which started a back-and-forth diss war between rappers Kendrick Lamar and Drake.

He also received a nomination for his album with Metro Boomin, "We Don't Trust You," for Best Rap Album and "We Still Don't Trust You" with Metro Boomin featuring The Weeknd.
