Women took center stage the 2024 Grammy Awards, sweeping the major categories and making history on music’s biggest night. Taylor Swift set a music industry record on Sunday, winning the Grammy award for album of the year “Midnights,” for an unprecedented fourth time. “I would love to tell you this is the best moment of my life,” Swift said on stage while accepting the award. “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 34-year-old said while she was honored to receive the award, she just hopes she could keep writing and performing songs. “All I want to do is keep doing this,” Swift added.

During a backstage interview, a reporter asked Eilish her thoughts on all the big awards going to women and how she’s trying to break stereotypes around the music industry. “I feel very seen, I feel very heard, and I did not expect that with this song. When we made it, I was like, ‘I don’t know how much this is going to translate.’ I felt kind of outside the box, I felt isolated in my own world,” Eilish said. “I really was in a period in my life where I did not feel seen at all and the way people reacted when it came out, I was completely blown away by the way I felt understood.” Best new artist went to R&B and pop singer Victoria Monet and SZA won the award for best R&B song for “Snooze.” Karol G made history winning best música urbana album, her first Grammy ever. The Colombian singer, songwriter and actor previously won five Latin Grammy Awards, including best new artist.
