Could Billie Eilish Win Album of the Year at the Grammys 2025?
Billie Eilish shot to fame with her 2015 debut single “Ocean Eyes”, which was written and produced by her brother Finneas O’Connell.
She proved she wasn’t a one-hit wonder in 2017 after releasing an extended version of her LP Don’t Smile at Me, which was a commercial success in various countries, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia.
Since then, the talented singer-songwriter has released many successful studio albums, including When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (2019), Happier Than Ever (2021), and Hit Me Hard and Soft (2024).
Despite being only 22 years old, Eilish has earned nine Grammy Awards and is the second artist in the award show’s history to win the following four general field categories in the same year: Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Best New Artist, and Song of the Year.
As the Grammy nominations will be announced on November 8, 2024, many music experts predict Eilish will receive a nomination for Album of the Year for Hit Me Hard and Soft, and she could take home the award.

Who are the Likely Nominees?
Billie Eilish is well accustomed to receiving Album of the Year at the Grammys, as she was presented with the respected award for When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (2019) and Happier Than Ever (2021).
Billie Eilish is the current joint favorite to win the award for her critically acclaimed third studio album, Hit Me Hard and Soft.
Critics praised Eilish for the album’s vocal performances, songwriting, and production, and it wouldn’t be surprising if she accepted the award at the prestigious ceremony on Sunday, February 2, 2025.
Taylor Swift is Eilish’s biggest rival for Album of the Year and will likely earn a nomination for The Tortured Poets Department.
The “Bad Blood” singer has scooped the award four times in the past, making her the most awarded performer in the category’s history, and it would be surprising not to see her in the category following a phenomenal year.
If Swift were to win, she would extend her record while becoming the first female artist to receive Album of the Year consecutively and will join only two artists who have done so: Stevie Wonder and Frank Sinatra.
Of course, the Queen of the Grammy Awards, Beyonce, is likely to secure a nomination, too. As she is the most awarded person in the award show’s history, Cowboy Carter could win big at the event, and she has a good chance of adding another Album of the Year award to her trophy cabinet.
The three female singer-songwriters are the most likely to win the Album of the Year Award, much to the disappointment of various male acts.
Also, Eilish, Swift, and Beyonce could continue to break records at the award show and may even receive nominations in other categories. However, they might face competition from other strong female performers, such as Ariana Grande’s Eternal Sunshine, Kacey Musgraves’s Deeper Well, and Dolly Parton’s Rockstar.
It appears that Album of the Year will be female-dominated in 2025, and while Billie Eilish is one of the most likely artists to scoop the award, she may face some tough competition.
If you want to find out who wins Album of the Year when it happens, you can watch a live broadcast of the Grammy Awards 2025 on ABC on Sunday, February 2, 2025. Alternatively, you can stream the ceremony on the ABC app and DirecTV Stream or catch up the next day on Hulu.
