How Taylor Swift Is Making Grammys History With Midnights
2024 GRAMMY Nominations: Surprises & Snubs!
Taylor Swift is in her history-making era.
The singer added to her ever-growing list of award show nominations on Nov. 10, scoring six for the 2024 Grammys.
This time around, the 33-year-old was recognized for her 2022 album Midnights, earning nominations for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album. Meanwhile, Taylor and pal Ice Spice also picked up a nomination in the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category for their collaboration of the “Karma” remix.
Taylor’s Midnights track “Anti-Hero” was also nominated in several categories, including Record Of The Year, Best Pop Solo Performance and Song of the Year.
In fact, the Song of the Year recognition makes Taylor the most nominated artist in category ever with seven. (She was previously tied with Paul McCartney and Lionel Richie.)
And if that wasn’t exciting enough, Taylor is swiftly making history with her Album of the Year nomination, her sixth nod in the category.
Taylor was previously nominated in the category for her albums Fearless, Red, 1989, Folklore and Evermore.
She picked up her first win in the category at the 2009 Grammys for Fearless, before winning again in 2015 for her album 1989. Most recently, Taylor won AOTY at the 2020 Grammys for her beloved album Folklore, which made her the first female artist to win the category three times.
And while she’s currently tied with legends Paul Simon, Frank Sinatra and Stevie Wonder for the artist with most AOTY year wins, she could make history at the 2024 Grammys. If she’s victorious in the category, Taylor would become the first ever artist to win Album of the Year four times.

Meanwhile, Taylor is already making history with her AOTY nomination, officially tying Barbra Streisand as the female artist with most Album of the Year nominations. (Barbra received AOTY nods for The Barbra Streisand Album, People, My Name Is Barbra, Color Me Barbra, Guilty and The Broadway Album.)

What’s Wrong With Being Confident?
No, it is not obnoxious to post a photo of yourself looking amazing, and yes, you should 100 percent post it with the following “Bejeweled” line: “Best believe I’m still bejeweled. When I walk in the room, I can still make the whole place shimmer.”
But there are other options from track nine, including “Diamonds in my eyes, I polish up real nice,” and “What’s a girl gonna do? A diamond’s gotta shine,” which kind of sounds like something the villain on The Bachelor would say and we love it.
