CBS NEWS | Taylor Swift took home album of the year at the 2024 Grammys Awards for her album “Midnights,” giving her four wins in that category over her career, the most for any Artiste.
Swift also won best pop vocal album and surprised the audience during her acceptance speech by announcing she would be releasing her next album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” on April 19.
SZA had earned the most nominations of any artist this year with nine, including nods for album of the year, record of the year and song of the year. Although she had 15 Grammy nominations under her belt prior to this year’s selections, her sole win coming into Sunday was for best pop duo/group performance in 2022 for “Kiss Me More.” She quickly added more awards this year though, including a win for best R&B song early in the program.
The Grammy Awards were once again held at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena and aired live on CBS and streamed on Paramount. Comedian and former “Daily Show” host Trevor Noah returned to host the ceremony for the fourth time in a row, and the show featured performances from artists including Joni Mitchell, U2, Billy Joel, and a surprise duet of “Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs.
