Swift has become the first songwriter to receive seven song of the year nominations.
Taylor Swift has broken a Grammys record with her nomination for song of the year.
The shortlisting of her hit Anti-Hero makes Swift the first songwriter to score seven nominations in the category – beating Paul McCartney and Lionel Richie who are tied with six each.
She is also nominated in the album and record of the year categories alongside Olivia Rodrigo, Miley Cyrus and SZA.
Others nominated for song of the year include Lana Del Rey and Dua Lipa.
Billie Eilish, Jon Batiste and SZA have also been recognised.
It was harder for artists to make the Grammys shortlist this year due to new rules.
Organisers have cut the number of nominations available in each category from 10 to eight.

Nominated for best new artist is British dance and electronic producer Fred Again, who is joined in the category by Gracie Abrams, Ice Spice, Jelly Roll, Coco Jones, Noah Kahan, Victoria Monet and War and Treaty.
Recognised on the record of the year shortlist is Jon Batiste, Boygenius, Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish, Victoria Monet, Olivia Rodrigo, Taylor Swift and SZA.
Song of the year is different to record of the year – the former recognises songwriters and achievement in composition while the latter is concerned with the technical recording process – taking into account production, engineering and performance.
It’s more of the same in the album of the year category with Taylor Swift, SZA, Jon Batiste, Boygenius, Billie Eilish, Miley Cyrus, Victoria Monet and Olivia Rodrigo all nominated.
Rodrigo joins Billie Eilish in achieving the feat of being nominated for best album, song and record for her first two studio albums.

Eilish has also featured heavily in this year’s Grammy nominations – the song she made for the Barbie movie, What Was I Made For?, has also made it onto the song and record of the year list.
Jon Batiste was a surprise winner at last year’s ceremony and again features in the major categories once again, with his album World Music Radio and song Worship up for the top prizes.
