• Feb 5, 2024

AceShowbiz - The 2024 Grammy Awards delivered the trophies to all of its winners at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 4. At this year's ceremony, Taylor Swift made a Grammy history as she became the first singer to win Album of the Year category four times.

The "Karma" hitmaker took home the prestigious prize for her top-charting album "Midnights". In the category, Taylor was up against fellow nominees Jon Batiste ("World Music Radio"), boygenius ("the record"), Miley Cyrus ("Endless Summer Vacation"), Lana Del Rey ("Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd"), Janelle Monae ("The Age of Pleasure"), Olivia Rodrigo ("GUTS") and SZA ("SOS").

"I would love to tell you that this is the best moment of my life," Taylor stated while speaking in front of the audience, "but I feel this happy when I finish a song, or when I crack the code to a bridge that I love, or when I’m shot listing a music video or when I'm rehearsing with my dancers or my band or getting ready to go to Tokyo to play a show."

She continued, "For me, the award is the work, All I want to do is keep being able to do this. I love it so much. It makes me so happy. It makes me unbelievably blown away that it makes some people happy who voted for this award, too. All I want to do is keep doing this. So thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to do what I love so much. Mind blown. Thank you so much!"

While Miley failed to snag the Album of the Year award, she was presented with a second Grammy that night as she was given the Record of the Year prize for her song "Flowers". "My life was beautiful yesterday," she said in her acceptance speech after winning the category, which acknowledges the specific recording of a song and is awarded to the artists, producers and engineers involved.

"Not everyone in the world will get a Grammy, but everyone in this world is spectacular," she added. Earlier that night, Miley won her very first Grammy by winning Best Solo Pop Performance.

Victoria Monet was also among the big winners as she was announced as the winner of Best New Artist category. The artist, who also won Best R&B Album and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical for her debut album "Jaguar II" earlier that night, said during her speech, "I just want to say to everybody who has a dream, I want you to look at this as an example." The 34-year-old musician added, "This award was a 15-year pursuit."

"I like to liken myself to a plant, who was planted, and you can look at the music industry as soil.... Today, I'm sprouting finally above ground," Victoria, who helped pen Ariana Grande's "7 Rings" and "Thank U, Next" as well as Chloe x Halle's "Do It", continued.

Among the nominees were Gracie Abrams, Fred Again, Ice Spice, Jelly Roll, Coco Jones, Noah Kahan and The War and Treaty. Victoria continued the female artist winning streak as previous winners were Samara Joy, Olivia Rodrigo, Megan Thee Stallion and Billie Eilish.
