Taylor Swift made Grammy history tonight, becoming the first artist to win Album of the Year four times. She had previously been tied at three with Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder and Paul Simon. Midnights, her 2023 release, also won Best Pop Album, where Swift took her speech time to announce her new album, The Tortured Poets Department, arriving on April 19.
Earlier in the night Jay-Z, who was awarded the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award, criticized the Recording Academy in his acceptance speech for never awarding his wife Beyoncé with Album of the Year. “I don’t want to embarrass this young lady, but she has more Grammys than everyone and never won album of the year,” he said. “So even by your own metrics, that doesn’t work. Think about that. The most Grammys, never won album of the year. That doesn’t work.” Beyoncé has earned 32 Grammy Awards but only one in the general field categories, Song of the Year for “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)” in 2010.
Women dominated the general field, pop and rock categories with Miley Cyrus earning her second Grammy of the night (after Pop Solo Performance) with “Flowers” winning Record of the Year, Billie Eilish winning her second Song of the Year award (this year for her Oscar-nominated “What Was I Made For?” from Barbie), boygenius and Paramore cleaning up in the rock and alternative categories and Victoria Monét winning Best New Artist. Paramore’s wins were the first ever for the group. Members Hayley Williams and Taylor York had previously won Rock Song but as a songwriting award, not awarded to the group. Their Best Rock Album win for This Is Why became the first female-fronted band in history to win in the category. As a member of boygenius, Bridgers topped the night with four wins.
SZA, going into the night with the most nominations (9), won three: Pop Duo/Group Performance for “Ghost in the Machine,” SZA featuring Phoebe Bridgers, Best R&B Song for “Snooze” and Best Progressive R&B Album for SOS.
Former First Lady Michelle Obama joined her former President Barack Obama as a two-time Grammy winner, winning tonight for Best Audio Book, Narration, and Storytelling Recording for her audio book The Light We Carry: Overcoming In Uncertain Times.
Killer Mike dominated the rap categories, sweeping all three where he was nominated for for his track “Scientists & Engineers” featuring André 3000, Future and Eryn Allen Kane and his album Michael. The rapper made headlines when he was arrested backstage after his pre-show wins stemming from an altercation inside the arena around 4pm, shortly after his wins.
Performances also ruled the night with showstopping moments including Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs dueting on “Fast Car,” his cover of her Grammy-winning hit. It was Chapman’s first live performance in years and the visibility shot her original version of the song and its album to the top of the iTunes chart. Joni Mitchell performed on the Grammy stage for the first time ever with a rendition of her 1966 song “Both Sides Now” and won the award for Best Folk Album earlier in the day for Joni Mitchell at Newport – Live. Billy Joel debuted his new single “Turn the Lights Back On” and closed the show after the last award. Miley Cyrus performed her Grammy-winning “Flowers,” Dua Lipa unveiled “Training Season” from her upcoming album, Fantasia Barrino gave a spin to Tina Turner’s “Proud Mary” and Olivia Rodrigo performed “Vampire.”
The 66th Grammy Awards were hosted for the fourth time by Trevor Noah (who was a nominee tonight) and held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Here the complete list of winners.
