Is the Femininomenon Still Happening?

Scrolling through the 2025 Grammy nominations this morning, I encountered the expected candidates: Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Charli XCX. At the very least, I recognized the names of almost every artist listed; I laughed seeing Khruangbin, the psychedelic funk trio who’s been vibing out since 2010, nominated for Best New Artist, and smirked at the sight of Jacob Collier, one of those jazz wunderkinds who only boomer Grammy voters seem to listen to. There was one major name I didn’t recognize though: Teddy Swims.
