Michelle Obama could extend her list of Grammy wins this year.
The former First Lady is the recipient of one Grammy award for best spoken work album. This year, she’s nominated for the narration of her book, “The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times.” If she wins, she’ll tie her husband Barack Obama and become one of the leaders in the category.

Barack Obama has won two Grammys and has been nominated for three, with his wins including the narration of “The Audacity Of Hope: Thoughts On Reclaiming The American Dream,” and “Dreams From My Father.” Barack is a part of an exclusive group of people who’ve won the Grammy for best spoken word album on more than one occasion. This group includes icons like Orson Welles, Jimmy Carter and Maya Angelou.

This year’s Grammys will take place on February 4th, at the Crypto Arena in Los Angeles. While Michelle’s book has been one of the year’s bestsellers, she faces some stiff competition in her category, with icons like Meryl Streep, William Shatner, Bernie Sanders, and more competing for the same award.
