In a historic triumph, Taylor Swift clinched her fourth Album of the Year Grammy with her latest release, “Midnights,” surpassing her previous victories for “Fearless,” “1989,” and “Folklore.”
Already holding the record for the most No. 1 albums by a woman, boasting 12 chart-topping records, and having the highest-grossing tour in history (estimated at over $1 billion), Swift adds another remarkable feat to her illustrious career.
“Midnights” triumphed over stiff competition from SZA, Olivia Rodrigo, boygenius, Lana Del Rey, Miley Cyrus, Jon Batiste, and Janelle Monáe to claim the top album prize at the Grammys on Sunday. This victory marked her second win of the night.
During her acceptance speech for the best pop vocal album award for “Midnights,” Swift surprised fans by announcing her upcoming album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” scheduled for release on April 19.

Taylor Swift’s Storied Triumph: A Record-Breaking Fourth Album of the Year Grammy
This Grammy win was Taylor Swift’s fourth in the Album of the Year category, following her previous accolades for “Fearless” in 2010, “1989” in 2016, and “Folklore” in 2020. Surpassing legends Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, and Paul Simon, each three-time winners, Swift solidified her status as the artist with the most Album of the Year victories in the Grammy’s 66-year history.
Not without previous disappointments, Taylor Swift’s “Red” lost the Album of the Year award to Daft Punk’s “Random Access Memories” in 2014, and “Evermore” fell short of Batiste’s “We Are” in 2022.
As of now, Beyoncé holds the record for the most Grammy wins in history, with 32 awards. With 14 lifetime wins, Taylor Swift still has a considerable way to match Beyoncé’s remarkable achievement, needing another 18 victories to reach the summit. The music industry awaits the unfolding of this friendly competition between two iconic artists.
