SZA is 2018's most Grammy-nominated woman with five nods, Billboardnotes.

Interestingly, Ed Sheeran's Divide, thought to be the album to beat, was shut out of the major categories. Lady Gaga and Katy Perry also didn't fare well for their latest efforts, with Gaga getting two pop nods (same as Sheeran) and Perry's disappointing Witnessbeing left off the list entirely.
