Taylor Swift broke a record at the 2024 Grammys – leaving Frank Sinatra behind.
On February 4, 2024, the Grammy Awards were presented for the 66th time in Los Angeles – and even if Taylor Swift was not one of the most awarded artists with two awards (“Album of the year” and “Best Vocal Pop Album” for MIDNIGHTS). of the evening, the American pop superstar made Grammy history.
This is not the first time Swift has won the “Album of the Year” category. After FEARLESS, 1989 and FOLKLORE, Swift can look forward to the Grammy for best album for the fourth time with her album MIDNIGHTS – more often than any other artist before her. The 34-year-old now leaves behind Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder and Paul Simon, all of whom “only” won the Grammy for best album three times. In total, Swift took home fourteen of the coveted trophies.
Swift seized the opportunity to unexpectedly announce a new studio album called THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT. “I know the way the Recording Academy voted is a direct reflection of the passion of the fans. So I want to thank the fans by telling you a secret that I’ve been keeping from you for the last two years, which is that my brand new album is coming out on April 19th,” said the musician. Maybe this will be your “Album of the Year” number five?
