Profile

Why they shine

Taylor Swift is the only artist to win the Grammy for Album of the Year four times. She took the award for Fearless in 2010, 1989 in 2016, Folklore in 2021 and Midnights in 2024, a span of fourteen years in which she moved from country pop to indie-folk to synth-pop without losing commercial or critical ground. The Midnights win, announced while she was in the middle of the record-breaking Eras Tour, made her the first artist ever to claim the prize four times, and she used the stage to announce The Tortured Poets Department. Her Grammy career also includes Best Music Video for All Too Well: The Short Film.
