Taylor Swift Makes History, Miley Cyrus and SZA Clean Up: The Grammys Were for the Girls

Taylor Swift made history at the 2024 Grammy with a historic fourth Album of the Year win, while Miley Cyrus and SZA also took home multiple prizes.

But only Swift could manage to make that kind of history and still arguably upstage herself: Earlier in the night, after Midnights won Best Pop Vocal Album, she took the opportunity to announce the April 19th release of new LP Tortured Poets Department. And the expansive, multi-faceted “In Memoriam” segment featured Stevie Wonder honoring Tony Bennett, Annie Lennox paying tribute to Sinead O’Connor (and calling for a ceasefire in Gaza), and Fantasia Barrino bringing the house down with her celebration of Tina Turner. During his speech, Jay dug into the Recording Academy’s long, complicated (to say the least) relationship with hip-hop and Black artists, more broadly — themes underscored this year by on-site detainment and the fact that, for the first time since 2015, no rap awards were handed out during the Grammys telecast.
