At the 2024 Grammy Awards, Taylor Swift claimed her place in history by winning Album of the Year for the fourth time, a feat never achieved before. The global pop sensation surpassed icons Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, and Frank Sinatra, who had each secured this honor three times. Swift, receiving the award from Celine Dion, also surprised fans by announcing a new album during the event.

The Grammys, held in Los Angeles, showcased female dominance with artists like Miley Cyrus and Billie Eilish earning top accolades. R&B stars SZA and Victoria Monét, along with the all-female indie supergroup Boygenius, collected multiple awards. Despite the celebration, rapper Killer Mike faced a backstage altercation leading to his detainment.

In addition to Album of the Year, Swift's "Midnights" won Best Pop Vocal Album, while Eilish's contribution to the Barbie film soundtrack, "What Was I Made For?," secured Song of the Year. The ceremony featured stellar performances, including Joni Mitchell's return at the age of 80 and Tracy Chapman's collaboration with Luke Combs.
