SOS, Taylor Swift Just Won Album of the Year Again


She broke the record for most AOTY wins of all time — and now has more wins in the category than all Black women combined.

SZA won multiple awards this year, including: Best Progressive R&B Album, Best R&B Song for “Snooze,” and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, alongside Phoebe Bridgers, for “Ghost in the Machine.” But the Grammys have a history of preferring to reward Black women in the “down the line” categories, as opposed to one of the four general awards — and SZA deserved recognition in the overall fields for SOS. With her record-breaking win, Taylor Swift has now won Album of the Year more times than all Black women combined have. The previous Black women to win were Natalie Cole in 1992, Whitney Houston in 1994, and Lauryn Hill in 1999 — a list that, Jay-Z would like you to note, does not include Beyoncé.
