In an ever-shifting music landscape, The Recording Academy often makes changes to their eligibility rules (a couple were made in response to Taylor Swift's re-recording project in 2022) and lineup of awards to – at least in their eyes – better represent the genres being honored.

This year's slate of changes include a widening of the Best New Artist award's eligibility and five new categories. See the full list of changes below:

— Best New Artist candidates may now submit in the category up to four times, an increase from the previous limit of three. This would allow acts such as Ella Langley, Megan Moroney, Ken Carson, Ravyn Lenae, and Geese to be eligible for next year's award.

— A new Grammy category honoring Best Asian Pop Music Performance.

— A new Grammy category honoring Best Latin Song.

— A new Grammy category honoring Best R&B Collaboration or Duo/Group Performance.

— A new Grammy category honoring Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance.

— A new Grammy category honoring Best Traditional Folk Album.

— The threshold of new recordings required on an eligible album is being lowered from 75% to 66% to cut down on albums being ruled ineligible.

—  Internet-only releases are now eligible to win Grammys for Best Album Notes and Best Historical Album.
