Swift has long been one of the Recording Academy’s defining figures. She became the first artist to win album of the year four times, earning the honor for “Fearless,” “1989,” “Folklore” and “Midnights.” In her 2024 acceptance speech for album of the year, Swift said, “I would love to tell you that this is the best moment of my life, 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.”
Her wins span country, pop and visual media categories. She thanked listeners for meeting her “in this imaginary world” she created. Co-producer Aaron Dessner called her “one of the greatest living songwriters.” Don’t miss any Taylor Swift news; sign up for the free, weekly This Swift Beat.
