The 2024 Grammy Awards were a night of glitz, revelry and show-stopping performances.
It’s hard to deny that 2023 was the year of Taylor Swift. She was literally named Person of the Year by Time, and legions of fans could not take their eyes off of her record-breaking Eras Tour, nor her worlds-colliding romance with NFL tight end Travis Kelce. And with this year’s Grammy’s, Swift has made history.
The popstar won Album of the Year for Midnights, officially becoming the first artist in history to take home the honour four times. She was previously tied with Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder and Paul Simon, who all won the award three times. Beloved Canadian singer Céline Dion presented Swift the record-breaking Grammy.
Earlier in the night, Swift took the stage to accept her 13th ever Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album and took the opportunity to announce her upcoming studio project. The Tortured Poet’s Department will come out on April 19th, the star declared.
The album cover was quickly posted to Swift’s Instagram page and has racked up millions of likes.
Apart from that historic moment, the Grammys really pulled out all the stops when it came to its star-studded lineup of performers Sunday night.
Early on in the ceremony, legendary songwriter Tracy Chapman came out of retirement for a rendition of Fast Car with country star Luke Combs, who re-popularized the 1988 song with his 2023 cover. The tender ballad brought the Grammys audience to its feet.
For the first time ever, iconic Canadian folk singer Joni Mitchell took the Grammy stage to raucous cheers and a standing ovation.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer sat in a gilded gold and velvet chair surrounded by candles and joined by Brandi Carlile and a chamber orchestra to perform a jazzy, meditative version of her classic Both Sides Now.
