BeyoncéAriana GrandeSelena Gomez and more music stars could become 2025 Primetime Emmy nominees. And you can find out if they make it or not at the very same moment they do – on Tuesday (July 15) at 11:30 a.m. ET/8:30 a.m. PT, when the Television Academy unveils the nominations for the 77th annual Primetime Emmy Awards.

To watch the nominations livestream, head to this page on the Television Academy site or watch the livestream on YouTube.

What We Do in the Shadows star Harvey Guillén and Running Point star Brenda Song will reveal the nominees alongside TV Academy chair Cris Abrego in a ceremony at the academy’s Wolf Theater in Los Angeles. (The ceremony is held at a much more civilized hour than the Oscar nominations reveal is each year. To watch that, West Coasters have to get up at 5:30 a.m. PT.)

Beyoncé could be well-represented in the nominations. Her Netflix special Beyoncé Bowl has a good chance of being nominated for outstanding variety special (live), where it could face the 2025 Grammy Awards – where Queen Bey finally won her first award for album of the year.

Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, who were nominated for Oscars earlier this year for their performances in Wicked, could be competing against each other for outstanding guest actress in a comedy series. Erivo is eligible with Poker Face; Grande with Saturday Night Live.

Selena Gomez is likely to be nominated for outstanding comedy series for the fourth year in a row as an executive producer of Only Murders in the Building. She could also be nominated for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series for the second year in a row.

Many other programs featuring top music stars have a shot at nominations in various categories. An Evening With Elton John and Brandi Carlile could be nominated for outstanding variety special (pre-recorded). Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band (Hulu) could be nominated for outstanding documentary special.

The 2025 Primetime Emmy Awards are set to air on Sept. 14 at 8 p.m./5 p.m. PT on CBS and stream live and on demand on Paramount+. Comedian Nate Bargatze is set to host the show, which will be held at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles. Bargatze has yet to be nominated for a Primetime Emmy, but he was nominated for a Grammy in 2022 for best comedy album for The Greatest Average American.

The September ceremony will be produced by Jesse Collins Entertainment (Jesse Collins, Dionne Harmon, and Jeannae Rouzan-Clay) for the third consecutive year.

Ice Spice Appears on Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign’s ‘New Body,’ New Report Says

If you are a hip-hop listener who keeps up with leaks and unreleased records, you have likely come across Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s “New Body.” The track has been floating around since 2018 and also includes a feature from Nicki Minaj. Despite ongoing requests over the years, Nicki has continued to decline clearance for its official release.

For a long time, Ye and Ty have held onto the record, hoping the circumstances would eventually align for it to drop. Years have passed since it first surfaced, and many fans have already accepted that it may never see an official release in its original form. In recent developments, Ty Dolla $ign briefly gave listeners some renewed optimism during a livestream. In the clip being shared online, he plays the track before quickly cutting it once an unidentified female verse comes in. The voice stands out immediately, and it is clearly not Nicki Minaj. Instead, many listeners believe it sounds similar to Ice Spice.

While some people might interpret this as a replacement of Nicki Minaj, it is worth remembering that she has repeatedly made it clear she does not want her verse released. Because of that, it would not be surprising if Ye and Ty explored other options to complete the record. Bringing in a newer viral artist would be a natural alternative given the situation.

Did Ice Spice Replace Nicki Minaj?

Even though the situation may look like a subtle shift away from Nicki, it is important to note that her contribution was never cleared for release. That leaves room for the possibility that a new verse could be used instead. The idea of tapping someone like Ice Spice would also fit the current trend of collaborating with rising artists who have strong online momentum.

At this point, it is still unclear when or even if this updated version of the song was recorded. There is also no confirmation on whether it will ever be officially released. If it does eventually drop, it would likely spark major discussion among fans who have been following the track’s long and complicated history.
