Swift makes history at 2024 Grammys
In February, Swift made a historic win with her fourth album of the year award and broke the internet after announcing a brand-new album, “The Tortured Poets Department.”
“I would love to tell you that this is the best moment of my life,” she said holding the statue for album of the year, “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.”
Swift had six nominations and walked away with two golden statuettes that night.
