Sister act: Beyonce and Solange both earn Grammys nominations
It's a beautiful morning for the Knowles family.
Both Beyonce and Solange scored nominations for the 2017 Grammys, announced Tuesday.
Bey leads the competition with nine nominations, including the three big categories: Album of the Year for Lemonade and Song and Record of the Year for Formation.
Equally impressive are her nominations in three separate genres for Lemonade's songs: pop (Hold Up), rap/sung (Freedom with Kendrick Lamar) and, most surprisingly, rock (Don't Hurt Yourself with Jack White).
Meanwhile, Beyonce's younger sister earned her first Grammy nomination in the Best R&B Performance category for Cranes in the Sky, a standout from her new album, A Seat at the Table.
With their nominations, Bey and Solange join an elite circle of families whose members have snagged independent Grammy nominations. Will the Knowles prove to be this generation's Jackson family? Find out at the Grammys ceremony on Feb. 12.
