Grammys 2024: Taylor Swift makes history with best album award
Taylor Swift stole the spotlight at this year’s Grammy Awards, achieving a historic feat as the first performer to clinch the Album of the Year award four times. Previously, Swift had shared the record of three wins with Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, and Frank Sinatra.
