2024 Grammy winners list: Taylor Swift's record-breaking night was a cultural coronation

In many ways, the 2024 Grammy Awards could have been retitled The Taylor Swift Show . Swift is big – she’s always been big – but something has happened since the Eras Tour kicked off to elevate her into the Michael Jackson-ian dimension of pop culture. She’s no longer just a magnetic force, she’s positively gravitational. Throughout the night, in which she took home her record fourth album of the year statuette for Midnights – passing Frank Sinatra, who won three in his career – every moment seemed to be about her. When Miley Cyrus won her first-ever Grammy, it was Swift's reaction that went viral. During numerous musical performances, the cameras would cut to see whether Swift was dancing. Even host Trevor Noah had to comment on her current stature – especially as she’s also become one of the most talked about figures in American football, thanks to her relationship with Super Bowl-bound Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce – and managed to land a joke about her much better than the one over at the Golden Globes last month . When the moments were hers alone, she made the most of them. During her first win of the night, for Best Pop Vocal Album, Swift announced a new album she said was two years in the making – entitled The Tortured Poets Department, to be released on April 19. While Swift may have received most of the spotlight, there were other amazing moments, especially those focused on women in music. Joni Mitchell did a stirring rendition of Both Sides Now . Tracy Chapman performed Fast Car, reportedly for the first time in 15 years. Annie Lennox performed a stirring tribute to her late friend Sinead O'Connor, and called for a ceasefire in Gaza in the process. Tyla won the first award directly honouring African music . And women won in major categories across the board. Even when hip-hop legend Jay-Z took to the stage, he used his moment to decry that his wife Beyonce may be the most-awarded star in Grammys history, but she has never won Album of the Year. Sure, SZA may have deserved the top prize a little more than Swift did, but it’s hard to complain with the Grammys this year.
