Taylor Swift makes Grammys history with fourth album of the year win for 'Midnights'

It's her, hi! On Sunday, Taylor Swift won her 13th and 14th Grammys, 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," Swift 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."

The "Midnights" artist was nominated for six Grammy Awards at Sunday's show on CBS. Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon and Swift had each won album of the year three times prior to Sunday.

Three engineers had won album of the year four times for their work on albums with Swift, Adele and Bruno Mars: Şerban Ghenea, John Hanes and Tom Coyne. Swift thanked Ghenea in her acceptance speech when she won the award for "Folklore." He was nominated as part of the "Midnights" team so saw his total album of the year wins rise to five.

"For me, the award is the work," Swift said. "All I want to do is keep being able to do this. I love it so much. It makes me so happy. It makes me unbelievably blown away that it makes some people happy who voted for this award, too. All I want to do is keep doing this. So thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to do what I love so much. Mind blown. Thank you so much!”

Swift also won best pop vocal album for "Midnights." It was Swift's second win in that category; she was nominated once before for "1989."

The 'Anti-Hero' singer has 52 Grammy nominations

Swift added six nominations this year:

• "Anti-Hero," pop solo performance, Taylor Swift
• "Karma," pop duo/group performance, Taylor Swift featuring Ice Spice
• "Anti-Hero," song of the year, Jack Antonoff and Taylor Swift
• "Anti-Hero," record of the year, Taylor Swift
• "Midnights," pop vocal album, Taylor Swift
• "Midnights," album of the year, Taylor Swift

She didn't win song of the year; Billie Eilish won for her Barbie ballad "What was I made for?" Swift also didn't win record of the year or best pop solo performance. Those two awards went to Miley Cyrus's "Flowers" and were her first and second Grammys.

Before the primetime show, Swift and Ice Spice's pop duo/group performance nomination did not win. "Karma" lost out to Phoebe Bridgers and SZA’s “Ghost In The Machine." The win was Bridgers' first Grammy.

Past album of the year wins

Swift's first through fourth Grammys came in 2010 for her work on her sophomore album, "Fearless," including the coveted album of the year award.

"This is the story, all of us," Swift said in her acceptance speech, "when we are 80 years old and we are telling the same stories over and over again to our grandkids and they’re so annoyed with us. This is the story we’re going to be telling over and over again. In 2010, that we got to win album of the year at the Grammys."

Songwriter Liz Rose recalled winning a Grammy with Taylor Swift for the song "White Horse."

"We went to the off-camera area which is where they give country song of the year," Rose said. "It was so cool because Taylor was so gracious and she said, ‘If we win, I want you to talk.’ And these were her first Grammys, too."

In 2016, Swift's fifth album,"1989," took the top honor.

"I want to say to all the young women out there," Swift said in her acceptance speech, "there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame. But if you just focus on the work and you don’t let those people sidetrack you, someday when you get where you're going, you will look around and you will know that it was you and the people who love you who put you there."

In 2021, her eighth album "Folklore" beat seven other artists including Dua Lipa, Post Malone and Coldplay. "Mostly, we just want to thank the fans," she said in her acceptance speech. "You guys met us in this imaginary world that we created and we can't tell you how honored we are forever by this."

Swift's friend and co-producer Aaron Dessner said in his speech, "It's hard to believe I'm standing up here with one of the greatest living songwriters who somehow put trust in me to collaborate in this crazy time we all lived through."
