As a songwriter who has written for Juno winners from McRae to Lennon Stella to Rêve, Lowell said that category's creation — and her subsequent first nomination — meant as much, if not more, than her recent Grammy nods.
Unchanged this year are the reggae recording, and children's and Christian/gospel album categories. While Junos organizers initially announced those categories would be put on "hiatus," a backlash prompted them to reinstate all three — while maintaining their decision to exclude the international album category.
The children's album nominees also feature what is quickly becoming the Juno's most youthful mainstay. Romeo Eats now boasts his third Juno nomination, since becoming the youngest-ever nominee at four years old in 2022 and the youngest-ever winner the following year.
