Grammys 2024: Taylor Swift makes history with best album award

Taylor Swift stole the spotlight at this year’s Grammy Awards, securing her fourth album of the year win, a record-breaking feat. Previously tied with Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, and Frank Sinatra at three wins each, Swift’s achievement was celebrated at the Los Angeles ceremony.

Celine Dion, making an unexpected appearance amid health concerns, presented Swift with the prestigious award. Swift, seizing the moment, also announced a surprise new album during the event.

Other top honors went to Miley Cyrus and Billie Eilish, contributing to a night where women dominated. R&B artists SZA and Victoria Monét, along with the all-female indie supergroup Boygenius, received multiple awards. Music legends Tracy Chapman and Joni Mitchell delivered rare and moving performances.

While rapper Killer Mike emerged as the top male winner with three rap trophies, an incident backstage led to him being “booked for misdemeanor battery,” according to LA police.

Dion received an enthusiastic reception after her return to the stage almost a year after canceling live shows due to a rare neurological disorder. Expressing genuine joy to be present, she announced Swift as the best album winner to thunderous applause.

Swift, reflecting on her historic achievement, emphasized that the award represents the culmination of hard work. She expressed her love for the creative process, stating that each step, from finishing a song to preparing for a show, brings her immense happiness. Swift had previously won album of the year in 2010 for Fearless, in 2016 for 1989, and in 2021 for Folklore.
